Shannon Dimaulo's "RED BARON" Rod

[Dr. Cranky]

I would love to one day see this model in person, and I know I missed it at the NNL East this year, but like Jim "Hollywood" Ferandez's "BAD PENNY," Shannon's "RED BARON" is a model that will live in model building history for all time.

Enjoy:

One of the most amazing models I have ever seen.

Well, that's a very creative and masterful piece of modeling. I might say the same about the video; I haven't seen all your videos but it sure would be nice to see some actual moving video in addition to stills; that would truly add dimension to this kind of stuff.

Skip, thank you, you bring up a very good point. I think in the coming years what I am going to do is start visiting builders at their benches and then doing showcases of their models and an interview. Right now the distance (and resources) are limited, but I think it will happen.

Maybe what I can do is buy an extra HD flip and mail it around the country . . . hum, ideas, ideas, ideas . . .

Wow inm speechless

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's much better than that chrome helmeted mess from Tom Daniels

Rick, I agree with you, but then again those are not as detailed and mind-blowing! I think even the Big Daddy Roth stuff had its charm for the times they were produced, and you know the real stuff was cutting edge.

I think model builders are always pushing the envelope and Shannon Mopar Lady is one of those!

I was thinking that it might be difficult to keep a video camera steady when getting different shots of a model, but it occurred to me that you might plant a camera on a tripod and put the model on a turntable, where you could shoot it from different heights and angles as you moved around it.

I've done that very same thing in a few videos and it works, but I think all you can take is about a minute and then you might just get dizzy!
