Chronic's Completed Builds

[TheChronicOne]

Cool! Beware of leopards! 

Coincidentally, the next time I do a whiffy-camo scheme I plan to take inspiration from the animal kingdom. (Actually, I just remembered that I already made plans to make a Holestein cow painted P-47 so I'll probably just roll with that... lol)

Absolutely marvellous builds there mate 
Chris.

Thank you so much!! I'm slowly getting better so stay tuned!     Some strange things coming up....

What are the monkeys with the red bums and the blue noses?  Mandrils?

Oh God, I dunno about all that but it could make a good scheme...   

I saw one of PantherG's (I think it was... ) profiles that used a dog color scheme and I really like it.  This was maybe 5-6 months ago or so. I'm definitely thinking of trying that scheme. It's actually pretty simple looking so shouldn't be a problem to paint.

Why thank you!

It was inspired my Topographical maps! 

Ohhhh.....I wonder if similar could be done based on OS maps - shading from green to brown with thin red lines delineating ?

[TheChronicOne]

Oi!  Didn't take me long to find, but it was closer to 9-10 months ago...

Sounds like a winner to me!  Lots of potential in maps... I've always liked maps anyway, as art, so.. why not?!

Give it a whirl, I dare ya!  I was pushing the very limits of my abilities doing the one I did but I imagine someone with more artistic leanings could really make something fantastic.

Two in a row I've remembered to post on time:

  Ain't no story. It's a post-war Navy P-51 on floats, serving in the Korean war as a rescue craft.

















For once, I didn't plan it, but this last picture seems to be the best.

What can I say..... I'm thrilled with it. These things always look so much better in person especially considering my crappy camera coupled with my crappy photography skills. I mean.... this thing looks like something out of "Flipper." 

As much as I whined, this truly was a fun build.

X2!!

Thanks guys!!! Who doesn't want an all blue Navy Mustang?!?!  Turned out better than I thought it would and for that I am grateful. This was, aside from the Funstrating float building process (these struts are so thin and the connection points near microscopic in places) a breeze to build. Definitely will go with a one color full-wrap around the next time I attempt a one day build.

I like the US navy dark blue a lot and it sure looks good on the Mustang, i can see myself build one in that scheme.

[TheChronicOne]

My Next Mustang will be the scheme swap with a Viper... I just can't seem to get my hands on everything I need. No rush though I guess.

Nice... What do you need?

[TheChronicOne]

Need all the transfers. I have the kits I just don't have modern USAF viper markings and I'm not sure the blue nose stuff I have is viable. The kit for this mustang was the Blue Nose version but them transfers are something like 50 years old. (and.... I have temporarily misplaced them . . .. .  .HMMMMMM.....  )

Actually, I need to grab my Viper kit.... it came with Norweigan markings but I can't remember if the sheet came with alternate USAF markings or not. Need to find this blue nose sheet too and see how good they look. On second thought I MIGHT have the stuff I need but I kind of doubt it.

[DogfighterZen]

Well, you know i've got a bunch of Vipers in the stash so let me know exactly what you need and i'll have a look.
