    The rivet looks amazing. They really highlight the model. You make a fantastic job with this LM! No you raise the bar again. Thanks for shearing the pictures! Regards Ricardo

    Well, you know the road and the difficulty for the real modeller, the Real Space Modelers. I always told to my club friend, to build Real Space, with no accuracy on the kits, not too much after-market a few references and you will be a complete modeller Jaja Jaja. Whoo!!! Your decals are fantastic! Great job man, you put more effort than me. Thanks for sharing someone could benefit from them! When I did my research online, I only was able to find two models, both stray from the box. The Aoshima kit had potential, but I guess that is not popular. I hope that

    Steve: I saw those before; I don't know if were on Sven's site or in the SIM book. it's a great build I love it. I love Iganacio's works. I want to use those with the Lunar Models LRV. I got my eyebrow up every time that I mentioned the acrylic and oils mix technique. So I figured guys don’t like it, but I saw that in a book and for me had worked well. Regards Ricardo

    Mike: I am glad that you like it. It’s a nice little build, I do the main in 3 weeks. Almost no putty and sanding. Watch out with the thrusters they are too fragile. I have a few pictures of reference if you need them. Regards

    Sadly, we are at the end of an era. Soon there will be no one who was there, to tell us what happened and how it was, and was a unique time in history. I was lucky to meet Ken Mattingly in 1999. I was at a user conference for a product that I use for my profession. The advertisement was all about Apollo 13. At the end of his presentation, I was lucky to chat with him about the Apollo 16 Mission STS 4 and 51C. He was intrigued about the question that I asked, and he notes that I took. Until he found out that was a space modeler. It was one of the nicest chats that I have with an Apo

    Hi: I am not a figure painter. I am just a guy who likes to do real space modes. As I mentioned in older posts. First, my base paint is done in acrylic. I paint all my base colours with that. Then with oils, I match the color and do 5 o 6 darker tones. Then I set the darker colours and from there, I do the transitions to the lighter colour. After the colours are dry, I varnish the figure. Star to do the visor and the last is the metallic. That is my approach. Years ago I made my first attempt with an EVA models figure in 1/35. At that time I was under the impression

    Project done. It looks decent but it will never be a contest model. I had a few issues using the mylar. I think that is expired. When I was handling the colour it wore off. I don't know if any of you had those issues. Next projects A CSM and LM and Orbiter, the Enterprise with the ALT paint scheme in 1/144. I just wish that I have Pete speed. See you in cyberspace.

    Details of the Canada Arm 2. The shape is not correct and it tp fragil. But this is a simple project The Canada Arm2 is not accurate. I just added a few details but did not correct the wrong shapes.

    H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) a nice little project, Aoshima 1/72. Not too much sanding but a lot of wrapping tinfoil. The orange-gold foil that I picked was to tick, very difficult to handle with a 72 vehicle of this size. The cargo

    Some pictures of a "What If" figure Reheat Models 120mm. Base paint acrylic, suit wrinkled with oils. I know this is a no-no technique for figure painters, but I am not. I am a Real Space Modeler. The moon dust had been done with pigments. It was a simple project for my "What if" contest at my local club, no more than 3 weeks. Saludos Ricardo Final pictures A real space "what if" subject. The Soviets

    Ret you are right CJ F14 are making quite a buzz on Social Media Ricardo

    There are more pictures of that LRV on the forum http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/292538-lunar-rover-vehicle-132/ Ricardo

    It was 1/48. I think that is base on the simulator of the Cradle of Aviation Museum https://www.cradleofaviation.org/history/exhibits/exhibit-galleries/exploring_space/grumman_lunar_module_simulator.html

    Hello CJ: Thanks for the pictures!!!. I was not able to get a good shot of your F14s. They were one of the nice surprises of the show! When I saw them clips of the movie played in my mind. It is a fantastic presentation I love it! I can imagine the kind of challenge to move them from your car to the museum. The winds were so strong. One piece of advice that I think you learn already. Don’t finish any model the night before a show. Winning or losing you always had some details that you don’t finish. Sometimes it could happens: paint reacts, the varnish got finger marks,

    When I see Pete doing stuff like this I know that something good is comming! Suggestions Pete scale up the v section of the legs that touch the primary struts. The look a little thin https://apolloarchive.com/apollo_gallery.html RS

    Thank Cap I am gald that you like it. I have a few question for Starfleet, can you relay them? Ricardo
  22. Ricardo Salamé
    Yes Pete, you know me. I always like to add something to the model in this case was the base. I am glad that you like this little touch Ricardo
  23. Ricardo Salamé
    Thanks Pete! Yes I try to mimic Alan Bean work. I got my inspiration from his paints. Its a very cool subject, but Soviet era hardware information it's a little hard to find. The accuracy suffered a little. I am glad that you like it. Ricardo
  24. Ricardo Salamé
    Aussi Pete I think that It's the best source for astronauts and cosmonaut in 120mm and the king for bigger scale. Ricardo
  25. Ricardo Salamé
    Thanks Pete, the cosmonaut is from Space Helmet Models from Spain. You can fin them on Facebook.
