model building

[iamirondude]

been a bit quiet lately as i've gotten a bit sick again but i have been doing a couple of models to pass the time. i recently picked up a revell 1/32 ME-109 G-6 and it's not a bad kit but i've also done a few dragon kits and bloody hell the fit on some of the parts are horrendous. i've had to send back 3 kits to them and another to airfix cause the QC was non existent on them.i'm currently working on a revell 1/48 FW-109 mistel V with a ta-154, a 1/35 stugIII, a 1/600 bismarck, 1/72 mig 29 and a few others.

The Su-34 is going to look great once it's finished with the 3 tone camo.

haven't been on for a while because of health issues(i'm sure this house is cursed. had nothing but bad luck since moving in) these are a few i've been working on while i try and get better and since i have nothing really to do, i've learnt a little about how to weather and get different effects.

1/48 academy f-14a










i do have a few more that i have finished but i haven't had a chance to take pic's of them. i brought the academy 1/48 su-27 twin seater. if you ever find this in store buy it. it's well detailed, goes together well and it's huge!

Wow dude, those effects look so good. In fact if your tools weren't in the background you could almost mistake it for the real thing. That must've taken ages!

[iamirondude]

thanks dude. it took me about a week, on and off but i would not of been able to do it without the tips and tricks on this thread. i also left it really dirty effect cause as you know that the tomcats were prone to get dirty real fast.

Nice work. The 109 looks good in desert camo.

Well I've finally finished my Lambo. There's more flaws than what I would have liked and the doors don't fit properly because I didn't check it until it was too late. I'll display it open so it won't be a problem but I don't think I'll attempt another opening door gimmick for a while. Next one everything's going to be glued shut. Kudos to the guys that can make it work and still look good.
The photos show the colour as blueish but there's a touch more green in real life.

Opening doors or not, that Lambo is drop dead gorgeous.

Cheers. Onward to the next one.
