Sixx Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) This kind of got me out of my major build slump, this is some sort of prehistoric beast...all solid resin...weighs about 5 pounds!! Plant material is from an ebay seller from Korea, very realistic stuff Edited September 28, 2015 by Sixx
cobraman Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Now there is something you don't see everyday. I like them , very cool.
Sixx Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 Thanks Ray!!!!! I love cars...but I also dig the whole figure & creature models too
MGL Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 That's Crazy! I dig this, the more you look at it the more there is to see.
Sixx Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 Uh oh, I did an airplane!!!! LOL! It's a 1/72 scale Cessna Float plane...I sculpted the land, rocks, and the water...kinda fun. Weathered it a bit, it does have an engine, but I was not about to wire it!!!!! Too small!
disabled modeler Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 WOW...! Love them all very nice work....water amazes me in the float plane one let a lone the background...
BIGTRUCK Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) First I liked the mammals, then I liked the plane, then the dio and water, then the mammals, no no its the water....nice work on all of it, it was enjoyable Edited September 28, 2015 by BIGTRUCK
Danno Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Great modeling, Derrick!At first I thought the second one was a pic of my ex-wife, . . . then I realized it was a model of her.

Good thing you said EX!!!!! Thanks guys! All of the models I posted here, got me outta my build slump that I have been in for over a year!!!!
Danno Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Oh, yeah. Opposite end of the spectrum from (and diametrically opposed to) the Lovely and Gracious Mrs. B. Her biggest complaint with me is that I refer to her as my second, current and last wife. I remind her that I also brag that she's my best wife ever.

Danno, what I do is refer to my Wife as my Wife and my prior as my Zero 'cause I'm sure not going to give her a whole Number!

Ace-Garageguy Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Like 'em all...but I LOVE the little Cessna. Everything. The oil, the chips in the paint on the cowlings, spinner and leading edges...and MAN, the WATER!! I've seen a lot of model water over the years...used to do HO railroads...and I'm certain your water texture is the best I've ever seen. Looks like a windy chop, and maybe a boat has just gone by and the wake is bouncing off of the outboard float. Motion captured beautifully. But I'm curious. Your airplane has both US and Canadian registration numbers. I wasn't aware that was allowed (I honestly don't know the regs for this, I just have never seen it before). Just FYI: Your US registration N-number N-172MC comes up as a good number in use for a Cessna 172. No surprise there. But C-GFFV comes up as a Canadian-registered Robinson R-44 helicopter.

Sixx Posted September 29, 2015 Author Posted September 29, 2015 First of all, thank you Bill, got the idea from Mig Jimenez and his magazine...The Weathering Magazine...water issue. That's funny about the registration numbers! I don't know anything about that stuff, I just looked at the box top on where to put 'em. I also darn near did an exact copy of an article in the Water issue. You can see the original one in issue 10, page 48, titled, Puddle Jumper. Of course the builder, Rick Lawler, makes mine look silly. But that's OK, coz this is the first time I've ever built anything like that!
MAGIC MUFFLER Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 You're awesome!!!! Great modeling skills … ( really enjoyed looking at this )
Twokidsnosleep Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Great to see some different stuff!!! Really like the Cessna diorama and its weathering/waterDid water with GE caulking silicone last weekend for a Lord of the Rings figure set diorama...easier than I thought it would be!! Edited September 30, 2015 by Twokidsnosleep
Roadrunner Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 I like that Cessna very much. I've always been a sucker for float planes and flying boats.
