Hi guys
Another crazy project is afoot! ;)
This time a flying apparatus slightly influenced by the Maschinen Krieger universe.
Mainly because of the figures, which are leftovers from my Falke:
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/falke-05.jpg)
The other main contributors to this endeavour are a P-47D:
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-001.jpg)
And the ubiquitous Mig-17 (in this case in a chinese disguise):
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-002.jpg)
Hence the "fusion" name: MaK-17. The Hammerhead part you will find out later :)
So the plastic mingling starts...
First, the interior:
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-004.jpg)
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-006.jpg)
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-007.jpg)
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-008.jpg)
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-010.jpg)
And the exterior:
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-005.jpg)
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-011.jpg)
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-012.jpg)
And after assembling everything together, you get....a Hammerhead, of course! :)
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-014.jpg)
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-015.jpg)
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-018.jpg)
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-019.jpg)
Now is time to plan an adequate base to place it.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers!

Wow Antonio, I am already mouthwatering by the idea of following a new project of yours ...

And the ubiquitous Mig-17 (in this case in a chinese disguise):
([url]http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-002.jpg[/url])
I just love the way the wing is so accurately in proportion to the rest of the fuselage...NOT!! ;D
-
Hope you don't mind Antonio, but I've just nicked that FT-5 picture for the Worst Box Art thread on WIM: http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,31256.new.html#new (http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,31256.new.html#new)

Thanks for the nice words!
With the ship pretty much sorted out, it was time to think about the base.
Starting with 2 wood "wheels"
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-022.jpg)
Joined together
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-023.jpg)
With the real "floor"
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-024.jpg)
Some positioning trials...
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-026.jpg)
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-028.jpg)
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-030.jpg)
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-032.jpg)
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-034.jpg)
Planning done. Now is time to attack the real work, i. e., all the small details still missing.
Thanks for watching!
-
I'll be watching this one!!
-
"Hammerhead" is obvious but it strikes me as looking more Star Wars pod-racer than MaK, at the moment. ???
Waiting to see where you take it, Antonio. :)
-
Looks cool. Look forward to seeing more
-
This is looking brilliant!
The quality of your pictures is wonderful too!
-
Hi guys
Thanks for the nice comments.
To be honest, for me the photographic presentation of the works in a forum or any media is vital, and must be the best possible.
So you may not like my models, but at least the pictures will be ok :)
And the detailing work has begun
The floor.
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-036.jpg)
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-037.jpg)
The steps to unify both parts of the base
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-039.jpg)
With the supporting cart
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-040.jpg)
Final positioning

Thanks for watching!

Looking great. What do use you use for your photography? Camera type and also is it a black backdrop?
-
Strapping in for another Antonio masterclass

Hi
Thanks for the interest!
Regarding my "photo studio" setup, please find below a topic explaining it:
http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=3628.0 (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=3628.0)
Cheers!
-
Excellent concept ... and it fits right in to the SF3D/Maschinen Krieger universe :)
-
I love that pattern on the floor plates! The entire build is looking first class.
-
Thanks for the comments!
And some more details added.
On the craft:
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-051.jpg)
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-053.jpg)
And on the base:
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-054.jpg)
Thanks for watching!
-
WOW!
-
This just keeps getting better and better!
-
Thanks!
And a little bit more junk was added:
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-056.jpg)
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-057.jpg)

(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-059.jpg)
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-060.jpg)
And that's it. Building is pretty much finished. Now is time to start thinking about painting :)
Thanks for watching!
-
That's it...time to give up the hobby! Knitting classes anyone?
-
Antonio is like our version of Jules Verne, a limitless imagination coupled with talent that's completely off the charts!
And talk about a futuristic vision!
Love the details, always look forward to your updates!

Outstanding! As always!

Watching. :))

Thanks for the nice comments.

Hi guys
Some more painting....
Basic color scheme (with lousy natural lighting).
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-071.jpg)
And some markings on the base.
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-072.jpg)
And finally the decals (this time with good lighting).
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-073.jpg)
(http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz158/AARSOBRAL/Hammerhead/hammerhead-074.jpg)

Fantastic Antonio, so it's a Nieuport!
;)
-
Well I certainly wasn't expecting that!
-
Just... WOW!
-
Well I certainly wasn't expecting that!
Color me surprised as well!
I really like this take on that famous Armée de l'Air camo!
Brian da Basher
-
Mon Dieu! Alors, je serai l'oncle d'un singe! :icon_surprised:
Looks good. :))
-
That is both a clever use of a Mig-17 and old MaK parts and a beautiful diorama. You have the eye of an artist. I don't know what you did with the rest of the artist, but you at least got his eye. Great work!
-
This is superb! I would have never thought of this!
-
Gorgeous! :-*

Hi guys!
Thanks for the nice comments!
Finally some weathering....

Almost! :)
Thanks for watching!
-
Now for the peeples! :D
-
This first class all the way!
May I ask what did you use to make all those rivet holes? They are all so straight and even.
-
Love the rust on that scaffolding!
Brian da Basher
-
Hi guys
Sorry for this delay.
To make the rivets I used the trumpeter riveter and a metal ruler. Not fantastic but gets the job done...eventually :)
(http://www.ratomodeling.com/reviews/trumpeter_rivetmaker/rivetmaker2.jpg)
The good news is that the project is finished!
Please find below the photos.

That .. is .. fantastic! 8)
While I don't know if it could fit into the Ma.K universe it certainly looks like it should.
Really, really great build, Antonio! :)
-
E S Q U I S I T E !!! :-* :-* :-*
It is exactly the manner of approach that I love,gorgeous kitbash,great paintjob... :-* :-* :-*
Is the kind of work that makes you dig through boxes and start working.
Congratulations, looking forward next project
Alex

I"m going to start sending you my dentist's bills...since you continually produce such draw-dropping models! I think I've shaken some fillings loose gaping at your work.
Superb!
-
What a beauty!!! And then there is the MaK-17 Hammerhead. I love a girl dressed in combat boots. ;)
-
Another masterpiece! :)
-
I don't know much about Ma.K either, but I'm having a great time enjoying all the fine details, paint job and weathering on this model!
-
I have no words to describe my appreciation!
I simply _love_ it!!!!
Antonio
-
Well done !
-
How did I miss this?!
This is AWSOME!!
Regards.
