Title: Some Sober Builds..
Post by: bluntie on August 02, 2007, 03:03:18 AM
Hi all, for those who may have been wondering what happened to the Skyawk after my recent ...ahem..miss adventure..
some careful carving and sanding sorted it out, and after a respray good as new ..almost.
Also the 110 that i have been battling with is finaly taking shape.
and the little Panzer1 from Dragon ,built just for a break from things with wings..

Nice stuff mate and great to see you back. Particularly love the little panzer. Nice to see a bit of armour amongst the sea of aircraft. ;)

Can't wait to see some of the whifs.

The tank kits you sent me are even now being used for an evil purpose. Bwhahahaha

Scooter - timeless classic

Me110 - are you sure that's not one of Matrixone's?

PzI - Cute and gorgeous all at once.  Is that the recent Dragon release?


All are fantastic and I'm hard pressed to choose a favourite....

That Bf-110 is superb - what scale?

Also whilst it looks to be real-world, the surface you have it on made me think of it being based upon a carrier - now there's an idea:  a Bf-110T.  IMHO, plausible given the status the Zerstörer units had early on in the war - plus the greater range would be useful to a carrier airwing.  Maybe I'll add this to the TBM list - folding wings, naval scheme - what else?

Regards,

Greg

Great job on those models!

Very convincing weathering on the Panzer but the 110 is my favorite. :D

:wub: Some beautiful builds Bluntie.  I really like the chipping and rust on the Panzer and all the details on the 110 are fantastic!

Thanks everyone, the 110 is the 1/48 revell kit with the infamous Aries resin set.
To be honest the whole experience with the resin has been draining,and i think that if i was to do it again i would spend more time looking at reveiws before going ahead.
I like the carrier idea Greg! IMHO  i reakon a torpedo carrier with RATO bottles on the fuselage sides or a 163 rocket motor in the tail.
Heya Sisko ,thought there was some cunning stunts afoot with those T-72's! come on give us a hint as to what youre up to!! :cheers:

QuoteI like the carrier idea Greg! IMHO i reakon a torpedo carrier with RATO bottles on the fuselage sides or a 163 rocket motor in the tail.

I was thinking that it would be a multi-role bird combining the roles of heavy fighter, recon and torpedo bomber.  RATO bottles maybe for launching with a torpedo, but not sure.

BTW - I've started a new thread (see here (http://www.whatifmodelers.com/forum//index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=16583)) for this so as not to hijack anymore than I have already.

Regards,

Greg

Nice work indeed, Bluntie !  Love the Scooter....sweet.

And when you say 'little' tank, that can't be 72nd scale ? Wicked job on the rust and weathering !
