CAIN MKII Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Oohh, nice! Is it fully painted?Yep, fully painted. I'm doing Rex right now, in jungle camo. Edited June 21, 2014 by CAIN MKII Quote
Jefuemon Posted June 21, 2014 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
CrazyDude Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Got a delayed Father's Day present, will be here next week. http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN989579/Sci Building will start soon after arrival. Currently only dust on the bench. Quote
Noyhauser Posted June 26, 2014 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. Edited June 26, 2014 by Noyhauser Quote
derex3592 Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Invalid #2 put together...I like the leg stance on this one better than the first one. should be able to finish up dio this weekend and post some good pics. Quote
derex3592 Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Captain America here on the forums did a run a few months back. Quote
electric indigo Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Did you already decide on a color scheme? Quote
derex3592 Posted July 1, 2014 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
Nekko Basara Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Noyhauser, which Dora kit is that? The camo is looking real good. Quote

derex3592 Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) thanks for the compliments guys! ohh i almost forgot...this one's for you Benson.... LOOKS GREAT! 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. (...and yes...that's what she said...????) Edited July 1, 2014 by derex3592 Quote
coronadlux Posted July 1, 2014 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
Noyhauser Posted July 3, 2014 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. In other news, more Starfighter love: Edited July 3, 2014 by Noyhauser Quote
electric indigo Posted July 3, 2014 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
Hervé Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 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. Same opinion ! Quote
CrazyDude Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Just dropped this on the bench. Box opening and build progress in my standard thread once camera is charged, also working on a few Egg-Planes. Quote
CrazyDude Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Today I started a lenghy project. Front Scanner is in, rest should be standard, Next lit kit will be an Ingram with working pat-lights? Edited July 5, 2014 by CrazyDude Quote
big F Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 What scale is the trans-am, and did it come with the Michael figure ? Quote
CrazyDude Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Car is 1/24, rest is in scale, road base and figure are separate as is the front scanner (KITT or CARR). Quote
The Old Man Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Awesome. I have the SPM version waiting to be built. Quote
sreichma Posted July 5, 2014 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
derex3592 Posted July 6, 2014 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. Edited July 6, 2014 by derex3592 Quote
UN_MARINE Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 This happened the other week. Still haven't found the time to make it pretty though. Quote
