Tons of beautiful and interesting build variants with distinctive schemes on all of them. Matt Thanks Matt, one day I’ll photograph them individually and properly. Probably a job for after my modelling ‘retirement’. scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokey Pete Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) I was playing around with ideas to get rid of the wooden bases while keeping the poses. It turns out that the most pleasing (to my eye) result, has been to drill holes directly into the shelves and seat the supporting rods in there. So in keeping with the spirit of the thread. I started the job with the Viper family. Edited October 30, 2022 by Stokey Pete O.W, blackbetty, Brett M and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokey Pete Posted November 11, 2022 Author Share Posted November 11, 2022 Times are tough at home in recent weeks. But, there are things that lift the mood when it’s at its darkest. This is one of those. I’m sat painting what seems like the 100th F-16 pilot figure, when my daughter comes to me and asks “Daddy! Can I paint a pilot?” in that cute way only a 4year old can. I dig through the spares box and let her have at it. A unique take on the apparel of the Viper driver and his ACESII mount. Now she announces that she wants the “16” to put it in. johncrow, themongoose, LSP_Kevin and 11 others 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can display that in a cockpit proudly Given that my last Viper will be another Vegas based aggressor, it seems quite apt to have a wildly decorated throne for the driver to perch on. It’ll be going in there for sure. Anthony in NZ and johncrow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squizzy 78 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I love the arctic aggressor schemes, the splinter version you’ve done looks incredible, and the original version is coming along very nicely! Stokey Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve done two different colour variations of this scheme. The blue one, and now this. I want the old school ‘Flogger’ scheme colours too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokey Pete Posted November 27, 2022 Author Share Posted November 27, 2022 The base paintwork is just about done. On to a bit of post shading and washes. I’m thinking of taking a little break before I get into the final 2 jets. They’re complex paint schemes, and I don’t wanna go into them while feeling a bit jaded from the project. While I’m up to my eyes in F-16 parts and paint, I took a little time out to do a scratchbuild with my daughter. I present the ORB-18 Utility Helicopter.

Especially the ‘winch’. My daughter will be graduating from scratchbuilding shortly, to her own 1/48 F-15 which she’ll build alongside me and my GB Japanese Eagle.
