mois Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 So here's my first model. Maybe the A380 is a bit difficult to start a modelling-career but i had fun building this although it was pretty tricky sometimes. Hope you like it: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie Cheslo Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 And this is your FIRST model built? Folks, I think we have a master in the making here. That is just superb work, beautiful. ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Moore Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Very nice first effort! No way my first, second, third, or fourth efforts ever looked that great! ;) Hope to see more of your work in the future. Cheers, Alby Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aggressor Supporter Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Wow! First model?! I don't believe it. Very nice and clean and like the diorama base. Big Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Very nice A380 especially for your first model... However I think you misglued the winglets at the wingtips - it is clearely shown that the winglet is upside-down on the first photo... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kingoalie Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Nice build! I like the base too. What did you use to make it? John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mois Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 Nice build! I like the base too. What did you use to make it?John the base is nothing special: just a wooden board sprayed in gray and added the details with acrylic colors and i did some of the dirt with graphite. i also put some nails in the midde so they look like little lamps now. at the side there are old pieces of carpet. the edge is real soil. it took just one weekend to finish it so it's basically pretty easy to build.

twr75 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 The body gear doors only open when the undercarriage is in transition (i.e. extending or retracting),so the shouldn't be open on the ground, as shown below: http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=5941147 Other than that, very nice.

I see you're Swiss, are you by any chance, related to a fellow named Pierre ? Gregg Isn't Pierre the guy who did this fantastic A380 in the Edelweiss colors? And no i'm not related to Pierre at all.

That be him, I was wondering if he may have taken a young Padawan learner on to pass some skills ... Your first build is really a beautiful effort, Congratulations !

janman Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Very nice model, which is really brought to life with the excellent runway base! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Su-34 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Your 'bus is great! You dont see much often A-380 as your first build! :o ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 regarding the base... "zebra" stripes should be white, too and numbers can be from 00-35, since they're designating the orientation of the runway - for example 35 would be 350degrees Quote Link to post Share on other sites
