Starfighter Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 The end of the year is approaching, so I thought it was time for some glamour shots of my (record breaking!) third finished model of 2023: Brengun's 1/32nd scale MQ-8B Fire Scout which found a new home on a scratchbuilt LCS-3 flight deck. The figurines are from Reedoak, accessories like the little Tesla ground power unit, padeyes, all kinds of small boxes, the big red handles and small details like the pitot tubes and the tie down eyelets were CAD designed and 3D printed. The tie down tensioners are downloadable files from REMJ. My friend Christoph Wolfsberger was kind enough to print most of the small details on his Sonic Mini 8K - thank you very much, mate! The net frames are a mixture of 3D printed parts (the curved ones) and brass tubes from Albion Alloys Precision Metals. The nets themselves are made of onion bags from a belgian supermarket - special thanks to my good buddy Frederick Jacobs for eating tons of onions to make sure I get enough nets! I hope you enjoy the photos - please let me know what you think. johncrow, LSP_Kevin, thierry laurent and 20 others 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And give it back after painting? Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed to see you and this sweetie at EME 2023! Guess this will be dropped into competition. It's a worth one, indeed!

Jboldt007 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 very cool - the figures are perfect too - they look real even upon close inspection. Love the chain tie-downs and the Tesla generator - perfect. Starfighter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jboldt007 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 didn't realize this was a Brengun kit until i came across it perusing their site. Although it's in the title here - The Reedoak figures are amazing - just checked the site too. Starfighter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
