Glenn's Current Modeling Projects

It's funny that you imagine a fake that did not exist, like a what-if what-if...

Tophe, I've never seen a T-6 made up to look like a Dauntless....have you?

Father Ennis · June 29, 2013, 01:06:43 AM

You are quite correct,Glen !!!! I once had a modeling mag that had a step by step article on just how to do it. Wish I still did,but alas ... no ..... Didn't they turn some T-6's into other planes in that movie,too ?

Yeah mate, good and bad! Zero/ Val in PT 109. Just painted up, but the Val had trousers. Repainted in winter scheme for "Where Eagles Dare", as Zero's in 'In Harm's Way' as a Typhoon and P-47 in 'Bridge too far', but best of all a Dutch movie made the same time an 'Bridge too far', making a couple up as Fokker DXXI's. The Typhoon was horrible...looked as much like a Typhoon as my car looks like a mini!

As you can see... port wing, undercart and prop to go to finish the construction ....then painting and decals. Then in a couple of years, maybe converting her into a Val or Kate!

You are a courageous worker, Glenn

The only thing I remember from that article was he began by cutting the cockpit out and reversing it. Can't remember how or why ... I like what you got going there,Glenn.

Back to the 'boat' from 'The Broken Ear'. The other side wing is almost ready to be fitted so things are progressing.
I will modify the nose as it is too 1930~40. The nose should look more like a boat as it is 1920~30's.

Sorry but I don't get your references. I do however, think your work is very impressive and I'm anxious to see more ...

Glenn · July 12, 2013, 12:23:51 AM

'The Broken Ear' is a story from 'TinTin'!

Father Ennis · July 13, 2013, 12:15:58 AM

That explains it then. I know little of the Tin-tin series. Looking good though.

Remember I showed you the Russian truck as 1 of 3.....well this is 2 of 3.
It started off as a 1/48 Revell GM 6x6 carrying an Honest John missile, now it will be 1/35 and something completely different!
