...or back in the saddle, am I?
Saludos, all fellow modelers. Here, Rafa, from Venezuela. Happy new year for everyone
The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
After a few year's erm, um, problems, I'm back in this, my beloved hobby. I was out when photobucket changed, so I have set up an account in imgur, and am testing this stuff after all this time.
Without not much ado, now, I give to you my little Dolphins from Ace Combat. A very old scratch-build I am resurrecting as a means to shake off the rust i have accumulated.

R-101 Delphinus I





I built this one with cardboard, packing foam, and covered it all with my mud (ordinary plaster+white glue), and went to town with it

Some build steps
The (not so clear) cardboard profiles


Fleshed and carved to shape with packing foam, and covered in mud

Done!

Looks awesome and great imagination! When you say you covered it in mud do you mean drywall mud or a type of putty?

Just plain and simple white glue+ordinary plaster.
Hello, everybody. Yes, a long time away, but is a real pleasure to come back
