Jefuemon Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 How does one do salt weathering? Here's the first video I checked out on the technique. I still need a little more practice, but I think I did well enough for a first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noyhauser Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) So I've been a bit remiss in posting lately, but I've had a bit of time to build lately. For Phyrox, I've almost completed that 1/72 Tiger with the Zimmeritt: Just got to do the road wheels, decals, a bit of weathering and I'm done. I actually generally don't like building German stuff, but I had this kit in my stash and I thought I'd build it. Another project that's almost done is a B5N Kate Bomber, with tons of photo etch. And a couple of korean war aircraft. Oh, and one more: a star fighter. That's it for now... maybe some completed shots next time.

derex3592 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Well it's as finished as it's gonna get....From the episode "Survival" from Mospeada/New Gen..I wanted a standing up black bear...but I didn't wanna pay $20 for a set of O Scale bears for one bear...aaaannyways...hope you guys like it...I need to find a clear stick to put the running guy on at some point. I had to finish this up on a budget so I kinda had to make do with what I had lying around the house. Originally I was gonna go all out and try to pull off what those awesome model railroad guys do with scenery, but just don't have the time or $$$ for that! Many thanks to Capt. America and EXO for the kits and the figures!!! Edited July 1, 2014 by derex3592 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But take some pics outdoors in you can, no flash - the light will be MUCH better . . . I will try that this weekend. Finding a good spot around my house to take descent pics is hard with something this large..I'll try outside this weekend maybe. I tried flash and no flash in several different locations.

coronadlux Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 So, I'm going to assume that the guy running is running towards the Alpha. not running away and leaving his crew behind. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noyhauser Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) So I also bought the Northug II VF-11... and trying to figure out what to do with it. I've got three options in mind: SU-35S Dark blue scheme: the New F-16 Haveglass/Early F-35 scheme with the white ident stripes. I'd probably make it heavily weathered like the F-16 Haveglasses used to see. Or a Just delivered aircraft "scheme": Not too sure what one I'll go with. Noyhauser, which Dora kit is that? The camo is looking real good. Hasegawa D-9 in 1/72. I bought it with a true details cockpit set that dressed it up a bit inside. Its almost done... just need to correct the exhaust patterns and give it a final coat.

electric indigo Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 So I also bought the Northug II VF-11... and trying to figure out what to do with it. IMO the design of the VF-11 has a "russian" feel about it (it has canards to start with...), so I say go with a russian camo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sreichma Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Excellent diorama Derex!!! Great work, what type of kit is the shocktrooper ? It looks like a different face front than the matchbox and the other one has different gun mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) It's a resin kit done by John Moscato aka "Capt. America" here on the forums. The reason they look different is I tried to get fancy and shorten the canon mounting stems...bad idea.
