Cees Broere 1,633 Posted January 31, 2011 Hi Loic, Excellent result as always, you are going to paint those yellow tips on the propellerblades are you? Don't tell us you forgot them. Cees Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loic 1,927 Posted January 31, 2011 Thanks Cees, as I said, it is not yet completed. The parts were only put the one on top of the other just for the pleasure to shot pics but, just as exemples, I guess a gunsight would be welcome, the rear window is still taped, etc... Still a lot of details to go through before I can claim this one finished. Also, there is this diorama going on, I will post pics of the shed later and I will also recycle the figures I initially intend to use with the Tempest (but I never finished the diorama).

Loic 1,927 Posted January 31, 2011 Guys, as promised, here is a couple of pics of the shed for the diorama. It is not yet complete of course... The flash light tend to increase the contrast on the pics, fortunatly, the effects are significantly more subtle... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dodgem37 7,833 Posted February 1, 2011 OMG Loic! Your amphibious! You work in plastic AND wood! Love what your doing. Sincerely, Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loic 1,927 Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) He he he Mark, amphibious... sounds obvious for a froggy! I must confess that what I do best with wood is start BBQs... Thanks mate! Edited February 1, 2011 by Loic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loic 1,927 Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Hello guys, that star wars thingy is fun and I will stay on my guards unless... ... unless I officially claim this Spitfire completed I indeed think I am done with it, while looking at it, I still can see 2 things that needs touch up again (will you see those?) but that is a matter of minuts so no big worry I guess. Here are some pics: ... Edited February 5, 2011 by Loic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loic 1,927 Posted February 5, 2011 ... So, end of the build as far as the bird is concerned but this must not mean the end of the thread as I really want to go to the end of this diorama this time. If it happens you still like it then stay tuned guys!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dodgem37 7,833 Posted February 5, 2011 Loic, This is so good as to be ridiculous. Great work. Sincerely, Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allok 41 Posted February 5, 2011 I LOVE that shed! I saw a photo somewhere with a caravan too. Pehaps that could be your next project? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loic 1,927 Posted February 5, 2011 Thanks a lot guys I am glad you like it as I think it is not quite easy to "convince" with a Spitfire build considering there are so many specialist around that can spot the smallest problem in a second... That caravan thing sounds interresting Keith, that for sure would be an uncommon dio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_Kevin 28,837 Posted February 5, 2011 Wonderful Loic, simply wonderful. So much detail, so much life. Great build, great paint job, great model. What's next? Kev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loic 1,927 Posted February 5, 2011 Kev, thanks a lot for the kind words. Next is the diorama... and next next is most probably a german twin build 50% from vac and 50% from scratch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
