Man alive.....some of those outdoor shots look like the real thing :bow: :bow:

What did you place it on to get the eye level shots?  Car roof?

Cheers chaps, actually Nev it's a large piece of MDF laid on top of a high hedge which backs onto my garden...behind that are the distant wolds.

Thanks a lot, if I have a bit more time and use  photoshop, I'll see if I can come up with some more.

Actually I have done a some more, well the sun was shining so what the heck!!.....I'll post these models later if anyones interested.

Cheers Dunc, I'll have a play with Photoshop C3 and see if I can merge a few of the images with some 60's SAC base scenes!
Might be fun..

Have a word with matrixone, he's the resident king of photoshop (check out some of his threads in Current & Finished projects to see what I mean).

Absolutely stunning work! Can you give a few details especially on the EE P.42?

Would be marching to the beat of his own drum, if he didn't detest marching to any drumbeat at all so much.

Hi Martin, glad you like it. With regard to the EE P42, I was sure that I'd posted the build here but it appears I didn't get round to it for some reason!!

Its a scratchbuild using plasic sheeting, an ICM MiG 31 forward fuselage, old Revell X-15 cockpit, WM TSR-2 undercarriage and Black Box resin wheels, plus a whole raft of extras from the spares box, plans and data from Tony Buttlers 'British Secret Projects Hypersonics' book and Josef Gatials beautiful art work, here's a few pics, hope they're OK..

Can I suggest you to open a different thread per each model?

This way we will be able to praise specifically.  :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:
... And search can be better. -_-

Anyway I have to say that you are just a genius. Highest level modeling! :thumbsup:
