The Rat

Wasn't a lot of whiffery, but enough to let me know that there are good crazy people out there. I took photos of genuine whiffs, and anything I found interesting or different. I know 'different' is a bit vague, so let's just say stuff that I like.

First up, a piece from the legendary J. Marc Perrault, who scratchbuilds just about anything and everything.



And the explanatory note.



Somebody likes James Bond



This one is in the 'interesting' category for me.



Beautifully done Canberra.



And the explanatory note.



From J Marc Perrault again, a beautiful Ader Eole.

No idea what this was, but it looked cool. Also interactive, but I never got around to pushing the button.

Nice Rotobuggy



Blood and guts and stuff



Nice diorama



This one had a really nice finish. Asked the modeler what he used, and he couldn't remember, he said it was something he bought in a rattle-can at a flea market years ago.



A spacecraft launching something. Probe? Missile? Space mine?

Well, there you have it, the sort of stuff we get up to in Canada.

Most impressive. Some really good stuff there, even the RW stuff.  :thumbsup:

That Hughes XF-11 is awesome.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Thanks for sharing Rattie.  They are great pics and your definition of "interesting" coincides nicely with mine.

This...

...has me thinking "milking machine".

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Thanks Ratty, some really good stuff there. The worn out, rusty VW Camper is a great piece of work
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
