The MOST REALISTIC MODEL I have EVER seen

[nev]

Sorry for shouting, but I couldn't help myself.  If you (like me) thought Matrixone had realism down to a fine art, you ain't seen nothing yet.  Check it out





I have never seen such gushing praise lavished on a model kit before - and no wonder.  This thing looks totally real

Get the f*ck out of here! That's incredible. Shall we regroup in a knitting forum?

Ditto! That makes me feel 5 yrs. old again, wondering if I'll ever be any good at modeling. Beautiful Work!

Wow.  I'm not one for rivet counting, but that's on a whole different level, huh?

Un-f******-believable.   

Great looking model.

I hereby resign from the Plastic Model Hobby, surrender my hobby box to the proper authorities & place my stash on Echo Bravo for immediate disposal.

I keep goingback to that first pic, and I'll be honest, I'm not 100% sure it is a model.  Part of me thinks it's real.  Little thinkgs like the pitots, brake lines, sway braces, gear doors, and HUD almost look too realistic to be a model.   The second shot looks like more of a model, especially the Sidewinder seeker head, but it's still incredibly realistic.

If I'm wrong on hte first pic then it certainly is the best model I've ever seen.

EDIT-Disregard the above.  I just realised there was a link to other pics of this model.  I'm just going to go and cry in the corner and curse my ham-fists now.

1/32. 

For those who can bear to look, you can see how he did it here

[B777LR]

Thats not a model, thats photos of a real thing that has been photoshopped to look like a kit!

[Patrick H]

I must agree withB777LR here, that is NOT a model. Take a close look at the pilots in one of his pictures. I can swear that backseater was just waving at me.

seriously. One of the best models I've ever seen.

[casts his critical eye over the model]

hmm, look the apparent droop on the wings and i'm sure its leaning to one side.....

apart from that its very good. i agree the WSO is probably waving at you. in 1/32
i'd've expected posable arms at the very least on a figure,
