Confusionreigns178 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I've said this before, Mike.... Your painting skills are simply off-the-charts! Another genuinely excellent job on the "Iron Tadpole". Thanks for sharing with us. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthumbs Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) Great looking jet! Tell us about the crew figures. Which ones did you use and how did you achieve the camouflage effect on the B/N’s flight suit? Rich Edited November 25, 2022 by allthumbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alain11 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Hi excellent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like !!! even "out of the box " , it's not obvious to get such final result .. hat off I like the figure wearing the camouflaged flight suit , is it a wink to Willem Dafoe in the movie " the flight of the intruder " a movie that deserves to be reviewed Alain just for fun Uncarina and CODY 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzas Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Dammit, man! Your painting skills are far and away the best I've seen on a model. So realistic! Love the photo settings too. I feel like I was looking at a real aircraft on a carrier deck. daveculp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zola25 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Great looking Intruder Mike - another one! I also immediately thought of Flight Of The Intruder when I saw that Pilot figure - Cmdr Cole in Devil 505 going "downtown" /Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircommando130 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 That's awesome! Ready to bomb a bridge near Hanoi! You have built 5 Intruders??? That's a lot of space unless a couple have folded wings. Great job...love the crew too. Cheers...Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I love this model, but do wonder if the finish is just a tad too grubby and matted for a mid 1970s USS Midway machine, unless it had taken off from Atsugi after a farmer sprayed the runway with... shine all your buttons with Brasso... Sorry to sound like Revel Horwood going off on one, but it needs a good scrub-down. Having said that, the dynamics and paint job on the crew figures is utterly OUTSTANDING!

Rich Hi Rich, thanks for the comments, the crew figures are from Reedoak, their pilots are just unreal for detail, I paint all my figures in the same way. black base coat, then white dry brushed, then thin coats to glaze, if you're not familiar with this its vert transparent colours mixed with water, and layered. The B/N is then just solid colours applied with a fine 00 brush, and cocktail stick, hope that helps, but if you need any more info on the glazing let me know, happy to help.
