  1. This is a beautiful, clean replica. The control details really sets it off!
  2. An interesting subject. I like how you approached it.
  3. Thank you Quang, the offender has been suitably chastised! Thank you all for your comments!
  4. Great job on a sobering piece of history. Makes you wonder why they bothered painting the stripes in the first place. My wife's uncle was killed at night while training, may or may not have been hit by a night fighter, details have remained sketchy.
  5. Sometimes a project just has to simmer for a while!
  6. Thanks guys! If you look close at this anti-grav skimmer you may be able to make out the nose of the Mig.
  7. These are great shots. It shows that the aircraft was finished in a coat of thick heavy paint that has filled in almost all the surface imperfections leaving only panels etc. that are necessary for maintenance. You can even see by the sheen that it is not a smooth surface either! Something to remember when critiquing someone's painting skills.
  8. I think this is a great choice for a B-17 build. It should be lots of fun replicating all of the many weathering and paint details on this aircraft.
  9. I think that it is too well done for a normal earthling nine year old. I think you may have an extraterrestrial living with you, better check out his DNA!
  10. Hey Jerry, before you carry on further I have to say that the sculptor completely botched her left arm. You try and hold a box with your arm and wrist in that position and you will see how awkward it is. You will want to hold the box lower with your arm and hand against it with your fingers underneath it.
  11. As promised (threatened) some pics of some of the rest of the Mig. The MkI was decidedly under powered so some more thrust had to be added bringing it up to MkII standard.
  12. I think that if you put that into a well done diorama you would have people taking a second look to decide if real or not.
  13. Great work! I was able to do mine all buttoned up so I could avoid all but the cockpit.
  14. I had some old Trumpeter kits lying around, so... Some shots of what is left of a Mig 15. I did this mini-dio as a game piece so I put it here. I used the wings for another piece which I will also post later.
  15. Absolutely fantasmagorical, but, it needs Orks!
  16. 418, if I remember my history 418 was an intruder squadron, bouncing around the night skies of Europe without radar! Great job on this. Lots of stuff in this kit that I had to scratch build for the Airfix 1/24 kit.
  17. I just met an ex pilot the other day who flew Mig-21s, the single seat version. I asked him if restricted vision to the rear was a problem. He said "No, you never looked behind, just went up like a bat out of hell and fired your missiles and got out of there!" Good job.
  18. Great, topped off with excellent photos!
  19. I had to take a second look at that first pic. If it was in black and white you would have sucked me in longer. Brilliant!
  20. I don't think you need to take a backseat to anyone! Very crisp and clean, nice work.
  21. M' thank you for the plaudits! It is just my way of relaxing. The rounds are de-mil .22 shorts. I never make anything if I can find something lying around that will do the job. The motive power, red makes it go faster! Next up is the tender for water and what passes as fuel. As you can imagine it will be a very dangerous work environment!
  22. I have an Airfix mossie project in mind but it is fermenting, meanwhile, relaxing with some railroading: I bashed this together from bits, pieces and stuff found lying around. It protects the Ork and Western Railroad from all manner of threats, real or imagined.
