Zactoman Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Be gentle with meWhere do you live? I would like to come and steal that model from your house. Do you have an alarm system or any dogs? Any nosey neighbors I should know about? What times are you usually away from the house? Welcome back to the hobby Chris ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dragonfly Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 What can I say....that's a stunning Strike Eagle!! I've been following your progress all along, and i must say you've done a superb job. I'm trying to finish my kit in 1/48, and hope it turns out half as good as yours. Congrats on finishing a great looking model! Jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie Cheslo Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 You lie, sir. You are really a professional model builder and you do this for a living! :blink: Either that or you are really Pierre "Madman" Greutot. :P Man, maybe I should take a 20 year break too. In all seriousness, that is truly beautiful work. If you are still perfecting your skills, I can't wait to see what you will accomplish next. Thanks for sharing that beautiful Eagle with us. I am now going to go soak my head for a while....... :) J.C. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle48 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 That has got to be one of the best Strike Eagles I have seen!! It looks awesome,well done. :) Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MA Cooke Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 That is one incredible looking build! I know....Pixilater has assumed a new identity, and is now building "grey jets", LOL!! Seriously, after a haitus, what a build!! Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EagleDriver Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 (edited) ........1. The Green band on the tail, Is that a decal or did you paint it on? YES PAINTED, ALTOUGH I STILL NEED TO PAINT WHITE STRIPES ABOVE AND BELOW OF THE GREEN BAND :huh: THE DECALS JUST DIDN'T FIT WELL 2. Only "odd" thing I noticed was your ordnance load. You've depicted live AIM-120 AMRAAM and live GBU's, but Inert AIM-9 Sidewinders (Blue stripes). By design? I KNOW, THE STRIPES SHOULD NOT BE BLUE, I WILL REMIND THIS FOR FUTURE BUILDS :D BUT THERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE NOT CORRECT, BUT FOR BEING MY FIRST MODEL AFTER A LONG TIME........

Scotsman Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I can't add too much more to what's been said already - a beautiful build crisp detailing , great weathering , and an overall result that is one of the best F-15e's I've seen . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
geedubelyer Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Mmmmm........ni..ice!! :D Great Mudhen EagleDriver. You should send the pics over to http://www.f-15estrikeeagle.com if you have n't already. It'll be a hit over there too. ;) :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stenkabg Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 EagleDriver, you should be proud with your build. Looks fantastic! Would have been even better with some more detail in the cockpit, so it maches the exterior. I am starting to think of getting one Mudheh for me. Stenkabg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BadCop Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Love your work! Especially the worn metal surface effect on the ladder. I'll be happy if I could build that good after 20 years of being back in the hobby letalone after a 20 year break. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
