CaptainErik Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Finally done and I'm happy with the result, it was insanity at it's best but I have learned so many things over the last year that made it worth it. Big thanks to all of you that kept me motivated to carry on, or those that said I was insane (they were right :D ). These pics are for you Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlackCat Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Looks awesome! Excellent work, man! You should take some pictures of your detail areas, if you can. I'd love to see your added detail! It would also be neat to see a coin or something to see the scale. I honestly think it could be 1/72 or 1/48 without something to provide scale. Great work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Backfire Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Wow! Congratulations on a fantastic build. Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainErik Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 Thanks gentlemen, It's very hard to get good pics of the details, the lens is at 1 or 2 inches away from the model and causes shadows and focus problems, if you want to see the full buildup details you can go to the buildup thread with over 100 pics : http://www.arcforums.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=35511 Here's a pic of the cockpit with the end of my tweezers visible : Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andy Mullen Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Fantastic results Erik :) I usually knock a 1/144 kit out to get away from superdetailing. I shall never look at a 1/144 kit the same way again Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie Cheslo Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Okay, so I was looking at these pics, and I was saying to my wife, not shabby at all for a 1/72 scale, eh? My wife says, I think you should look at the title of the thread again! :o My flabber is gasted. What else can I say? J.C. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
