Guest Nigelr32 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Here's a little more progress Not quite finished seats, those belts are not easy to work with!! And some more shots... It's a shame the camera hides the metallic hues on the exhaust nozzles and tail area?? I think the work around the nozzles paid off though.

Guest Nigelr32 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Well Guys, here we are, all finished up at last.

LSP_Kevin Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Wow, that is phantastic! I haven't really been following this GB, as I'm not much into Phantoms, but boy, that's just terrific! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Driver Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Really nice work Nigel. I'm going to steal a couple of techniques from you if you dont' mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkS Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I REALLY like your Phantom. The colors you used make it stand out. The darker, richer tan and the more subdued greens just, to me, look real good. Just an excellent build. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
