Draggon Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Talk about an active imagination! I really like this David!
Psychographic Posted May 13, 2012 Author Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) This, whatever it is, now has a driver. It's from a Rif Raf kit, I had to trim the bottom a bit to get him to fit in the canopy. Then his nose was too long, I wound up cutting a v shape down the center of his shnozz, then heated it with a lighter and squeezed it back together so I could glue it. After the Rhinoplasty.The base coat is on, now for the details, Edited May 13, 2012 by Psychographic
Dr. Cranky Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Loving it. These really grow on the viewer. Nice work.
Psychographic Posted May 24, 2012 Author Posted May 24, 2012 The pilot/driver, Commander McBragg got some color applied today, along with an Olive Drab interior.
Psychographic Posted May 25, 2012 Author Posted May 25, 2012 Some more progress, the deadline is coming soon.
Psychographic Posted May 27, 2012 Author Posted May 27, 2012 A last minute change in color. I was originally going to do the wheels silver or Alclad. I went with red at the last second and boy am I glad I did! The red plays off the silver and the black of the tires perfectly. One more coat on the backs and them I can paint the tires and make the new clear centers.
Psychographic Posted May 28, 2012 Author Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) One of the rear wheels/tires, the wheel is not on permanently, thus the hub not lining up with the wheel. The bombs are painted and mocked up for the next step. Progress is slow, but steady, I have another week to finish this and Davey. Why the bombs got painted blue,,,,,,,,, Edited May 28, 2012 by Psychographic
Psychographic Posted May 31, 2012 Author Posted May 31, 2012 Final assembly has started. The Machine Guns are on, along with the site in front of the cockpit. The fuel lines are run along with the oil lines to the blowers. Don't ask what the oil lines do, I don't have a clue, but they do look cool. The Commander went out and got some sun, he's not so pale anymore. Getting ready for some nose art.
Psychographic Posted June 1, 2012 Author Posted June 1, 2012 Very cool. What did you use for doing the rivets? bobthehobbyguy Sorry Bob, I must have missed this post. The rivets are 3D decals from Archer.
Psychographic Posted June 7, 2012 Author Posted June 7, 2012 I finished it just in time for the deadline of the contest. It's Under Glass now. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=59317
