Less than Super Ostrich Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 (edited) There is a local group of sci-fi modelers in Chicago that meet once a month... one of the crew, Terry Miesle (a frequent poster on Starshipmodeler.com) made this YF-21... I thought he did a very good job. His VF-1D also won a prize at this year's Wonderfest held down in Louisville.

Valkyrie Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Wow, that's some nice work. But I think the 21 would look better if they finish wasn't so flat. And could you post some info on that modeling group? I want in on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malich Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Definitely awesome work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batou Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 That guy does awesome work. If anyone's interested, Terry also posted a buildout summary of that VF-1D model here: Link It doesn't have all the details and "in-process" shots that accompany the step-by-steps our resident master wm cheng is so gracious to provide us with (which help more than you can ever imagine - again, thank you!!! ), but it's a great read and very good material.

They meet once a month up at Venture Hobbies in Wheeling, IL. I've only been once, but I really enjoyed it.

Valkyrie Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Cooool.... looks like they have a meeting this saturday. I'll have to try and make it. It's a bit of a trek tho. Like 30 miles from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayson72 Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 The flat finish on that model makes it so much more believable. I'm lovin' it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKeats Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Very cool, I think I like the flat finish more than a glossy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbxman Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 I agree the flat finish suits the YF-21 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malich Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 (edited) The Wonderfest in question I believe is held in Louisville, Kentucky. My Buddy Rick Cantu has entered the past two years. I have wanted to go but just hadn't had the time. I might have to go next year though. I guess when it gets close to the next Wonderfest I will post to see who may be going. Maybe those of us who can attend should get together..... Back on topic though, I really do like the flat coat. Is it possible to maybe get some more pic's of the 21 upclose? What colors did he use to paint it? Edited September 15, 2003 by Malich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
