Marius! Your projects are amazing, man! I like the focus on design, too. I have never heard of the TV series called “Riptide,” although I am now tempted to hunt down its first episode just to see why the chopper is painted pink! How did you ever find out about the show? It seems obscure.
You are always extremely welcome here. I am grateful you are here exploring lines of inquiry with your combinations of old kits meet new bits and always it seems a personal end goal to make the Matchbox or local hobby shop reappear inside a small box as a way to rekindle the way we look at the world when we are young.... well wow! Yes, that feels almost right for me, but I’m always curious what you are thinking and doing.
I really like Copic series of markers and I don’t know what happened to mine so I am taking notes of your sizes used. Thanks very much.
It’s good to enter contests amongst groups because your work heads toward capturing the soul of the aircraft. It’s good to see the collaged views because these show your process. In fact, I know I am made a better modeler because I follow you. Because you show these steps. It’s easy to write, “After six hours cutting, drilling and sanding the canopy frame was finished,” but it’s quite another to document those moments. Thank you for being fearless about the documentation.
Your work also just wakes me up to possibilities of more ideas. Models are about possibilities too. Your “What if Ta 152” is so flawless to me in this regard. When I see it I think the plane is actually at an air show somewhere in Germany. It just looks utterly believable. I also believe that 2017-18 may have been the years of capturing a metal finish in 1/72 scale for you, and the SAAB is the summation of a line of developing ideas!
