  1. Whew... great thing its not a serious damage... thank goodness... To all of the guys who took pics of the OV-10D+, can you post some of them in this thread? Please?! sir Erin, just a request, can you post a pic of the model with the award(s) you got beside it? a li'l bit O/T... meanwhile, back here in our country (or to be more specific, the southern provinces), the OV-10s that we have here (the real ones BTW) went into action once again, pummeling the rebel group who was, until last week, was in the final stages of the peace talks with our government... but from the latest intel' of our A
  2. Allright!!! We can already see lots of jaws on the floor on its debut!!! hahaha!!! Make sure you take some pics of those as well!!! (darn it I need to make my OV-10s impressive as well...)
  3. Allright!!! Its finally done!!! Superb job sir!!! BTW, what show would it be entered? Let me make the first bet of: - best aircraft - best model - and maybe people's choice etc. etc. etc. and maybe a cover shoot and a whole section in FSM... sir Erin, I sure hope our folks at OBA would attend its debut!!! P.S. I love that cola in can touch!!! another P.S. I'll be continuing my assembly of the 1/48 models, and I hope you may give some detail tips when I post it here in the forums... thanks!!!
  4. When it comes to your OV-10D+, there's no such thing as "too much praise"... This project of yours has been helping me in mine as well... thanks to your awesome attempt to make all of the details possible helped me see details that I could never have seen from any of my references, which have helped me in my own effort to scratchbuild details for my models as well... keep this up sir, we may never know how many people you are helping with this...
  5. I see... Maybe I'll just build the D+ with only one door panel on the clamshell... Since I do also notice that most (or all of them) D+s that I saw only have one door on the port side... Thanks for the tips sir!!! Looking forward to the final assembly!!!
  6. I have another question sir, about the cargo bay door clamshell... that silver plating on the left side of the clamshell, is it also present on the right side? Thanks!
  7. Ah I see... well given the magnitude of this work I guess its just right to take a well deserved break after... But still, this is one fine piece of work! Keep it up sir!!!
  8. Allright!!! Nearly there!!! Too bad I'm still stuck with the cockpit on mine... man I have a LLLOOONNNGGG way to go with my OV-10D+... That helmet sure looks just like the one my dad used to wear when he was flying OV-10s... (and I get to keep it for myself!!!) BTW, do you plan to include the figures of the Pilot and the Observer? And final question for now, since your'e nearly done with the D+, are you planning to accompany this one with the OV-10A?
  9. hey... I was actually looking for a pic of that view... Thanks there sir!!! BTW, sir, is it ok to use your in progress pics so that I can scratchbuilt a cockpit set for the 1/48 scale testors kit? I've just recently acquired sir Neil's OV-10A/D sets for my 2 testors kits, but I want to improve the detail on the cockpit and add the cargo bay, undercarriage and engines... That's a pretty simple prop jig there sir... hmmm... maybe I'll make something like that later...
  10. Hi there sir Neil!!! How's the NOGS project doing sir? BTW, I finally got both of your great update/conversion sets and 2 testors kits to match, hopefully I can start on them by next week!
  11. Now that's what I'm looking for... clear images of the engine camlink... thanks for that!!!
  12. I think 1/96 would be the prime choice since most of our card model spacecraft is in that scale, and if one wants a smaller one, they can just resize it... I'm also betting that when this is done, somebody who's insane enough in our forums (they are plenty of them) would build it either supersized (1/48-up) or microsized (1/400-down)
  13. We're planning this one at either 1/144, 1/100 or 1/96, since most of our card model collection of real spacecraft plays within these scales
  14. Sure hope this project works... it would be nice for us to have this thing in our display cabinets!
  15. The one commitment that I have right now that's holding me back from starting this is my thesis... But once that's done next week, I'll review the film again to get those extra screenshots and the concept drawings included in the special features videos of the DVD...
  16. Oh I see... what a bummer... I agree that most Messiah shots were from the front... But my special edition DVD of the film here do feature some drawings of the lander as well as the studio model with the top view exposed, but that was too small to pick out any details... But I can clearly remember there was that sequence in the film, the one where the whole ship was shown at a semi top view, during the departure of Messiah from earth orbit, just right before the crew ignite the nuclear rocket... also, thre were scenes from the film where the back side was very much exposed to the audience...
  17. Guys, does any of you considered building a model of this for yourself? :P I, and many of the members at cardmodels.net forums are planning to design a card model of this one, since many of the big pieces of this fictional spacecraft are already made by our folks at cardmodels.net forums when they designed their real space rockets... like the shuttle, and its ET, the 2 Ariane V SRBs, and the Energia strap-on boosters besides modifying these parts to fit the ship, I also need some 3 view illustrations if there's one available to construct the Orion nuclear rocket... and also some drawings
  18. Oh yeah, now I got the point... sorry for that... hehe! 'guess I'm not paying much attention to the posts... my apologies...
  19. to skull leader... Ryan's attempting to build a fictional gunship version of the J, there's yet to appear a C-130J gunship version... to sir Ryan all gunships used standard length C-130 fuselages, and yes, the engine cowlings for the J are different to the other C-130s, so its necessary to change the cowlings, as well as the props
  20. Nice progress there sir!!! Also thanks for posting your 3D renderings of the engines! Um, one thing though, can I ask you to post a photo documentation of your build for the engine later? the T-76 is the part of the OV-10 that drives me nuts... Thanks!!!
  21. Hmmm... The J as a gunship... From what I've heard from here, they say that the J is not really that stable enough to be a gun platform... but who knows... sir Ryan, about your build, maybe you can just use an AC-130U kit and swap its props and cowlings from a J kit.. that would save you some time... but then again, the tall order here is the BMC booths, gun breeches etc... maybe I'll just watch here for the moment, I cant risk my kit yet... hehe
  22. yes sir, building the U-boat's gut will be a very tall order... but I think the main challenge for me here is to replicate the plumbing and wiring inside... so for the meantime, I think I may do some skill building first... and considering the rarity of C-130 models here, I can't afford to waste this one...
