kensar Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I'm in with Revell's Duo Discus sailplane. This will complete my hat trick of Revell sailplanes in 1/32 scale. I will be depicting the plane in flight with two aboard. The figures are from Immense Miniatures and adapted for this use. I built an LS-8 previously and used an IM figure for it. It worked well, so I'm repeating here with two figures this time. I'll be making a Swiss livery to match my other two. I'm having to re-pose the figures, altering every joint to make it fit. More updates soon. MikeC, LSP_Kevin, Landrotten Highlander and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kensar Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 A small update. Not much done recently due to other priorities. Still fitting in the second figure. Similar alterations were done. You don't want to know what I had to do to his feet to get him in there!

kensar Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 With plenty of bench time recently, I got my guys back together through the miracle of modern adhesive chemistry. Should be closing the fuselage up soon. Alain Gadbois, MikeC, RLWP and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kensar Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 The guys are neatly packed within the cockpit. The wings and T tail were just 7 parts. And now the canopy has been taped and the white primer applied. Next will be subtly highlighting some panel lines and then gloss white paint.

geedubelyer Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Smashing effort so far. The addition of the figures really brings this sailplane to life and you've done a super job of creating lifelike and dynamic poses. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensar Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 Maru - did that left leg get in the way when you closed up the fuselage? No, I ground the outside of the foot to provide enough clearance and the leg needed to be jutting out like that. Test fitting is necessary! I have just put on the glossy white coat of paint, so next is decaling. I will make a Swiss livery, to match my other two Revel gliders.
