What a great build! It looks fantastic, and you pulled off the stressed skin effect beautifully. Can you tell us more about the T-Rex model?

Thanks guys, will do my best to stay at this LSP stuff

 

@Ads: Down-Under Style is for sure same quality mate! Only Difference: Your Pilots drink fosters our´s drink Stiegl

 

@Kev: Ah, a Dino Fan... well, cause I didnt get the long sold out Horizon T-Rex , I ordered a slight smaller copy of it over ebay from Thailand. Search for T-Rex Vinyl Jurassic Park, you´ll find it. Its the same T-Rex style like in Jurassic park. Model made by Stan Winston Studios. Of course the Horizon one is bigger and the quality is better, but with a little care you can make a real eyecatcher out of this copy. I heavily modified the model and altered the complete foot and arm position from standing to a running positon. All thats left to do now is to make the base an apply the color...

If you want to build one: Order taxidermy eyes (Van Dyke) for it, it makes a REAL difference. Like Aires Cockpit compared to Out of Box...

Is the black of the "Anti-Glare" stripe and the Cowling to glossy? On Original photos it looked different than the flat and faded black of the ID Stripes on the Rudder and the Invasion Stripes. Anyway, I tuned the glossy finish back a bit by applying some heavy diluted Micro Scale flat and dust with mig pigments.

 

Comments welcome!

Cheers
