Neo Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 O.K! My real stick has been very fantastic. I´v got 5 beautyfull and smart children.The modeled stick is not so bad as in the pictures, I assure you. Some how the camera shows so much more you can see with your eyes. Aspecialy when you take a macro pictures :P :P Are you just saying that because of my funny comment on LSP Cheers Neo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Here are some pictures: Cuted panels for opening gunbay, than thinting the edges: Then I opened the grill in the fuselage: My second ejektionseat is hallf done: Than I was doind small modiffications, like this one: The plate behind the second seat. Than I was drowing pictures of instruments faces fot the cockpit and trying to get tham in the right scale: So I´m so sorry that I´m building my Tomcat so slowly but that is the only way for me to be modeling at all.

Clining, cuting and converting first weell weill: And then, my first etempt to make instrument bored gauge: with the small light aply it looks even beter: That is all for know. Thank you for watching. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parche Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Wow, pretty sweet...keep up the good work... love the effort on the gauges and the equipment bay edges... awesome. Cheers, Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mareku Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 Thank you Dave very much :) The gauge looks very much better in nature than in that macro pictures. it looks very conviceing belive me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Lovely details on the gauges! If I may come with a tip.... use a sharp needle or awl and make small indentations for the screws in the corners of the instrument face and then apply a white wash. You´re doing a wonderful work on that big *** Tomcat! (figured where you´ll put it when it´s done yet?) Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spins Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Amazing job so far!! Are you planning on rigging a pully system so the stick and rudders actually control the flight control surfaces? (Not to put any ideas in your head....) :-P Jamal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mcaulk Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) Mareku, Just outstanding work and a source of inspiration as I am working on one of these monsters as we speak. Keep it up! Aigore sounds like your tip is something I did on a 1/18th F-86 Sabre cockpit. (One of my many unfinished projects)... After cutting out the bezel I used a dull needle point from the back and made a depression that when the front is painted and dry brushed looks like the typical screws that hold these things in. Is this something like you had in mind? By the way Mareku your ejection seats are the best I have seen in awhile. Really amazing.

I just thought to make a mark and fill it with a wash ;) ....your way is way smarter and looks better! ;) Mareku, ignore my tip and go for Mikes idea! Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mareku Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) Thank you guis very much. Very nice suggestions on makeing screws on the bezels. I will experyment with bouth and I have an idea of my own. Mike, your F 86 Sabres intrument panel looks so fantastic! How did you get thows instruments faces look so sharp!? Glad that you like my ejection seat :) Jamal, thanx for the sugestion but I will not make thows control surfices to be moveble. To much is to much, you know. Works continuou and I update as soon as I will have something new. Greatings to all Marek Edited August 9, 2010 by mareku Quote Link to post Share on other sites
