Thx!

More details for the cockpit. The Tamiya fuel drum and the "gear box" cant be seen once the cockpit is completed, but the fuel drum is full of lead to avoid flipping backwards - if it happens at all. But I gonna keep it safe.

Same project... but different:

I miss the front part for the intake - I believe my carpet has eaten it! Anyways - the project is running!





This figure was repainted (face & hands):




first complete view:

New pictures.

well done as usual!

Thanks Lyle. The body is almost finished.

The bust is completed, time to continue here. The "engine" was reworked, a figure added and I always wanted to scratch a tree made from brass.

You are making me want to do some steam punk, this is real interesting.

Yeah, do it. And please share it here.

Couldnt imagine that a little tree could be able to hold me up this much...
After putting the bird sand/glue mixture over the brass skeleton it looked like that:





Simple glueing to the base didnt work at all - s I had to create a plan B. Just two words here: "BLACK" and "DECKER"!



With some Green Stuff, even more CA glue and baking soda as activator it went all well. A priming with a Montana rattle can ("1080 Everglade", a kind of khaki tone) followed and some greenish sponge pieces. Finally, some shreddered cork and some shots of yellowish green from the Revell ProfiPlus (highlight)... tadaaaa:









PS: The Vanship got some color as well - a light brown and some shades of oil color. Not very interesting right now, I guess.


More later, thanks 4 watching!

That was a brilliant idea for adding fruit to the tree. Way to go. This is looking better and better. I also like the statue of the saint beneath the tree. You might want to consider placing him on a pedestal though.

Keep up the excellent work, I'm looking forward to seeing more.
