Hello guys,
I am new to this site but many will know me from whatif, as chrisonord. I have no up to date pics of stuff I am building as I have packed all my modelling stuff away due to work being done in my house. Here is the last build I photographed, a SHADO build,this is part scratch build and part hacked up 1/100th scale nu-bee tu-20.I have built the aircraft in my usual 1/72nd scale. The aircraft is called sentinel, and is an airborn communications relay and command post. The aircraft is designed to work with or replace satellites during an alien attack. The sensor array is situated on the rear of the aircraft to facilitate the transfer of data. The aircraft is coated in the usual anti flash coating, an is capable of high altitude high speed and long un refueled on station endurance.
Chris.

Love the model and background info. Most appropriate and creative. :)
Look forward to seeing more after the house work is done.
I also build to 1/72 results.

Thankyou for the kind comments guys, much appreciated, I will dig some more builds out to fill my resume here if thats ok? Not only do I do alternative SHADO equipment, but I also build a alternative Honduras airforce, navy and army, along with a US navy/marine task force including helicopters air planes and vehicles. My favourite builds are turbo prop powered COIN aircraft, and upgraded "museum" grade ex soviet aircraft and armour. The ex soviet/Russian stuff belongs to a Nicaraguan cartel.
Here is some other stuff that I have built over the last few months or so.

Cheers,
Chris

Nice work! I'm really loving your Gerry Anderson-inspired models but the alternate Central America stuff is cool too.

Those are some outstanding models, Diavel! It's great to have you with us!

Pull up a chair and cruise around the threads. There's lots of great ideas and good people here!

Always great to see your stuff my brother

Glad your here :)

taiidantomcat · « **Reply #20 on:** October 09, 2012, 11:33:19 AM »

so much great stuff!!! That X-32 upgrade still amazes me. You made what many consider a punch line into a warplane

finsrin · « **Reply #21 on:** October 09, 2012, 04:47:50 PM »

After long look at CF-100.
Find myself thinking F-86 wings (1/72 or 1/48) would be interesting

Bill:

In the CF-100 book by Larry Milberry, I have an oblique photo of the CF-103 wooden mockup which has sweep wings and horizontal stabs. I can send it to you / post it if you want it. The wings have a very long chord.

That's a sweet looking collection, esp love the SHADO stuff

Diavel · « **Reply #24 on:** October 15, 2012, 12:02:38 AM »

Thanks for the comments guys, I have not been able to do any modelling for several weeks now and I am getting a bit frustrated not being able to carve some plastic up.
Cheers
Chris
