stavanzer Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Good Build. You seldom see cars built with the Rain Tires. I like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBorg Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Very nice build. These cars aren't the easiest to build. With all the curves, they're a challenge to get the paint to lay down correctly. You look like you pulled it off well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turberticus Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Nicely done. Is this the Revell kit? Did you clear over the decals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim N Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Very nice! Paint and decal work are excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglia105E Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Nicely built and well painted..... open wheeler, rain tyres, Revell..... what's not to like? The figure with the clipboard adds to the realism of the photos. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglia105E Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I know what you mean about the figures issue Brian, because despite the great Michael Paul Smith not using a single figure in any of his truly brilliant diorama photographs, and I do understand why he chose not to include figures, I have still gone ahead and taken the risk of including figures in my diorama. In order to produce a figure in 1:24 scale that looks absolutely realistic, especially when photographed close up, the detail painting has to be pure genius.

I wish we had 10% of what the armour guys had for resin figures to choose from. Especially well sculpted facial features. I found some great 24 scale heads from MAIM in Germany but the don't ship by post....$80.00 for 4 24 scale heads is too much for me.....and I think I am fanatical!

Anglia105E Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 So far I have used Shapeways 3D printed figures and more recently an ICM Henry Ford set of figures from Ukraine, but the choice of 1:24 scale figures is very limited as you say. The Shapeways figures are very good actually, usually with good facial features, and it is then down to very careful painting to get them right. There are not many different positions though, so maybe I need to cut off arma and legs and re-position them.... scary stuff! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlueTube Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 I'll check out Shapeways. Thanks for the tip. Regards Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
