P_Aybara Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I’m confused. Don’t get me wrong those are fantastic reference photos of a real aircraft but why just the one pic of the model? Seriously that first pic had me fooled. Rod Bettencourt and coogrfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geedubelyer Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 On 8/26/2021 at 12:16 AM, Rod Bettencourt said: Thanks for looking. Rod That's a cracking model Rod. Beautiful photography too. The above image gets closest to reality for me. In this pic the tonal variation of the paint seems very authentic looking and in scale. The pre-shade is suitably subtle on this side of the model which seems to create a suggestion of surface texture beneath the cockpit that looks real. Neat addition of the chock btw. That definitely adds to the realism. Another wonderful recreation Rod, thanks for sharing and bravo! Cheers. Rod Bettencourt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett M Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Wow, big wow. Really nice work, Rod! The first image had me thinking it was an actual Dauntless on the tarmac. Rod Bettencourt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Stambaugh Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Okay fess up; that's a real aircraft that you are trying to pass off as a model. Seriously, I did have to look twice. Rod Bettencourt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
