Starfighter Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 It's still a pleasure to read your kind comments - but it ain't over 'til it's over! I forgot to show you the windscreen wipers which were an absolute PITA to assemble, but the result is not too bad. The position lights have been fitted but I forgot to take a photo. The external tank will probably keep me busy for a few more days. Pics will follow! HerculesPA_2, Squizzy 78, Trak-Tor and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Ben, due to "serious-real-life-issues", i haven't been able to check on your fantastic Viking from time to time, and i'm sorry to say i almost forgot about it, but was triggered again in the "sideline" opening the LSP site, and there it was: I'm really flabbergasted by this enormous inspiring project (just as your recce crusader was) and i'm anxious to see this great model of yours in real-time. best regards, Jack Starfighter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 Jack, great to see you're back - I hope all issues have been solved! If you come to BSMC show in Putte on December 9th, you should be able to see it on the competition table if everything goes to plan. I have spent quite some time painting and slightly modifying some Reedoak figures during the weekend. I'm not a good figure painter, but at least they are better than the last ones I've made... They are not yet finished, the plane captain needs to get his helmet codes and the pilot needs to get another harness below his survival vest. A second pilot figure is still in progress.

Jolly Roger Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 The dingyness on the plane captain's vest and shirt is a nice touch, bravo! Excellent work on those figures. USMC Herc and Starfighter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfighter Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 Time is running and I am pushing hard to get the whole ting finished until Sunday... the Viking itself is ready. I have built a transport jig which will hopefully help to get it to BSMC without any damage. My friend Thomas has built a base and an incredible catwalk for me. I am doing my best to do it justice with a proper paintjob... pics of the base will follow after the show. I have finished one of my own CAD designed A/S32-A31A to fill up the space on the base. I will hopefully get the possibility to make my vehicles available soon, but more on that later. And a little one because I couldn't resist... The whole setting will be set up for the first time on Sunday. I hope I can take a few decent pics then which I will try to post next week.

Collin Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Man, makes me miss flying her. This build belongs in a museum. The plane captains dirty vest is spot on, those folks busted their tails getting us launched and would get filthy.

Madmax Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 What a lovely moment, just as everything comes together in time for the big show! Enjoy it, as I'm sure all the spectators and participants will. Starfighter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbert Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Hi Ben, hope you will go to Roselies show too, can't go to Putte, sadly. Was very nice to see your progress and how you went through all difficulities. BTW, hope to see your A/S32-A31A cast in resin. cheers Starfighter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 Salut Norbert, when is the show at Roselies? As discussed last year, I will send you either a physical sample or STL files once the moulds are poured. HerculesPA_2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
