Drones, The New Generation

I'm in shock!

and awe

I think MichelC is a different scale than the rest of us, a SMALL one! 

There's no other way he can do that watchmaking level stuff and still have the same sized fingers as normal people.

Thanks guys!

The coil is a length of fine copper wire plucked from a piece of multi-strand electric wire and wound around a paper clip. Not that hard to do.

Let's hope that my head is not gonna swell too much with all the nice words. Cos then the Optivisor won't fit anymore and THAT is going to be a problem!

Here's the thruster with the paint on:

How do you not lose all those tiny parts on the floor?

Do you use a set of magnifiers when you're working and tweezers?   Are you by chance a micro-surgeon by trade?

I try not to drop them! LOL Having a linoleum type flooring rather than carpet helps.

Yes, yes and no. Optivisor type magnifiers and electronics tweezers with the points filed to a very pointed point.

As to my job, nothing like that at all. I do help/fix people but in a completely different line.

I painted my drone just like the Predator, USAF Gray. I used Gunze acrylic H308. The upper side was lightened with 40% white for color modulation, the very clear demarcation between upper and under sides lending itself particularly well to this particular technique.





More soon...

Here's the latest!

I painted the details including the rest of the engine and applied an oil wash after a coat of Future.







I have a tendency to apply washes that are too dark it seems so I tried to go light this time. I'm satisfied with the result. Hope you like it too.

Next post should be the final one! Hopefully very soon.

That's incredible work ! And it's sooo small ! Wow.

[MichelC]

Thanks Captain Canada!

Some pics of the decals. I had something else in mind but it didn't work out so the spare box had to do. You'll notice the allusion to the MaK universe which inspired this model from the beginning.

For his next trick MichelC will do brain surgery on a gnat...
With a chainsaw!

That's looking soooo good ! Love the panel lines. The yellow looks good on her as well.
