Noyhauser Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Well I've been busy with a couple of projects... I've got a VT-1 almost done and these two. The F/A-18E is a repaint of a model I built as a UN-Spacy Theme. I thought it would be nice to have it in a real scheme. The other is a 1/72 FH-1 Phantom, the Navy's first jet aircraft. You can see theextended build here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

505thAirborne Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Love the concept Thom, will the paint scheme be old school or a mix of both as well? Looking forward to this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegunny Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Only Mad Dogs and English Men go out in the midday sun. The POMS don't get knocked around as much unless they are playing cricket It's an Armorcast Mad Dog (or Vulture to you Inner Sphere stravag's). I've attempted to model it to represent Joanna's Mad Dog, my favourite character in Robert Thurston's series of Jade Falcon books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWR MKII Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Very nice uparmored Hummer. Im doing something very similar to my 1/6 scale one. If you want more uparmored goodness Bronco models just released a new tool 1/35 M-1114 uparmored hmmwv. Blows away tamiyas new hummer from just a few years ago.

UN_MARINE Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Thanks The Bronco kit was part of my reference, especially the inside of the doors. Up until I found the Bronco kit, the project was on hiatus because I couldn't find any images of what the doors looked like on the inside. I just wish I could do something about the tires on mine, wrong size & tread . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THOR Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) un-marine, i'm pretty sure I have some extra verlinden tires for that humvee...interested? oops...after further study...verlinden looks just like the ones you got on there already...sorry Edited November 19, 2010 by THOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BSG measures 13 inches long and though it says Skill level III, easiest kit I have ever assembled, just needs painted & detailed! Heheh, that little instructions sheet kinda scared me a little. Something about painting the little parts in prime colors before assembling for final details. If my modeling skills didn't suck, I'd buy and build this for an awesome display piece...which is just like saying, "If I could fly and punch through walls, I'd put on some tights and become a superhero."

derex3592 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Assembly complete (finally)...stupid work!...on my first Fine Molds kit. Preliminary painting done. Not to shabby for my first airbrush job in over 15 yrs. Gotta say, this kit isn't cheap, but the way it goes together is really awesome. Screw's were hard to get all the way screwed down, but in the end it looks awesome! Now, on to detail painting, weathering, decals etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's some pretty awesome details. Can't wait to see the fully-detailed X-Wing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Thats an awesome looking X-Wing derex, detail to the pilot is slick, just needs some weathering & decals!! Well I have my GALACTICA assembled, gave it a rough paint job just to see what colors will work best. (Flat Steel & Gray's with a black wash). again shes an easy kit and everything fits really flush, no warped parts and the attention to detail is superb, right up there with the really expensive Resin kits. I have my Moebius MKII's next to it to show its size. The cool thing is the landing bays are hollowed and there are 2 huge decals for the runways marked BSG-75. The engines are clear parts in case you wanted to install LED's. And finally my small squadron of old school & new Vipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Thanks guys....yes I did paint the pilot myself, but he doesn't look as good in person. Figure painting has NEVER been my favorite thing to do. I'm not very good...hopefully with the canopy on, you won't see much of him... btw--I WANT that Mobius Galactica model! I was already thinking that might be my next project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegunny Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) Can I get some translation help please? I came across some stick on decals in a Dengeki Hobby magazine for the MG RX-78 v2. It has different sets for normal, real & G3. I used their stickers on the mega Gundam I pictured earlier and they turned out pretty good (not as good as water slide but hey they were free ) As I'm doing a MG real type version I thought I'd use these instead of buying Bandai's waterslide set. What I need to know is in the scan of the page below where it has POINT and shows them dipping the sticker into a dish of liquid, is that just water or do they refer to something else. I know they are doing it to allow the sticker to be positioned correctly but is it just plain water they are using. Thanks. I've also put this in the Gunpla thread so hopefully someone can explain it for me. All fixed, thanks.

VF-19 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) Current progress on the Big G. Gonna do a multi tone grey for the ship. A base coat of a dark grey, a lighter grey for the armour panels, and then a random pattern of greys, to break up the two-tone grey scheme. This is followed by the red stripes, and decals. Lots, and lots of masking down the line... Tamiya, and 3M are going to be very happy with me... EDIT: After I've painted up the second set of panels on the nose of the Galactica, I'm wondering what the heck came over me when I decided to do this multi-tone paint scheme... I don't think I'll have this done until sometime next year... Edited December 13, 2010 by VF-19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
