Title: My vision of the Sulaco...
Post by: Mr Ten on July 16, 2014, 04:03:50 AM

Hi everyone ! (some of you may already know me from another site ;))

Here is my first post : a model i've made some long time ago, but still interesting (i hope ! ::))...

The kit is the standard Sulaco from Halcyon.
At first, it was some kind of challenge with a friend (a pink ship with a silly sharkmouth !), and finally it got more serious... ;D
The pink paint turned brownish and weary, instead of silly, after a session of darkwashing and dry brushing ! :D

Thx for your comments... :)

I know there is an excellent paper Sulaco, but i'm not qualified in paper models.. :o
By the way, i have a friend who is a master in paper models, creating his own scratchbuilds... ;) :

This one is REALLY in paper, and my friend's name is Paul (no, he is NOT a grey alien lost in our world.. 8))
