Re: Dams301 thread : 1/72 F-104J JASDF (p.10) + Rafale C finished (p.11)

[dams301]

Sorry not to have responded earlier 
It's a pleasure for me to make a step-by-step 

No more progress on the Mirage, but some on 2 old project. First, a C160R Transall of French Air Force and next, a FW Flitzer of French AF too 

The Transall :

The Flitzer :

















Hope you like it  :)

Wow that made a truly memorable diorama, Damien! You took this project in a direction I wasn't expecting and it really finished up nicely!

Thanks Brian, glad to see that you like it 
It's my first diorama and it's easier than what I believed. It took me only one afternoon for doing it (with some advice from a friend by phone call).

Since my last post, there is some progress. I will put pictures (better quality) once everything is finished before this WE  :) (this model will be in an exposition in Lorient, France this WE)

Damn fine!

Beautiful stuff in this thread!

[dams301]

Hi all,

Somes pics from the Transall build project :











The goal is to make this paint :



I'll make some photos of the Flitzer later

Looking good.

Hi all,

I finally made the final pics for the Flitzer 











I started a new project with a F-23 from hobbyboss. Here a first profile from brainstorming :

Gorgeous build on that diorama!  :)

Excellent 1st dio on the Flitzer, Dams!

The nose & belly are a little bit clean, & a bit short on scrapes & dents, for even a gentle belly landing but that's the only thing I can find which might be improved.

Great work!

:)

My back story is:
Was "beamed up" by aliens.  After being studied, they deposited it on Mars.  Been there around five decades.
Ground has Marsy redish look.
Great build-weathering-scene combination  :)

[dams301]

Hi all,

My last one :



Started last Sunday evening and already in painting proccess. It's the Kfir from AMK (Kinetic one is on my stock).
As you can see, I have to paint it again because I missed the paint job

Hi all,

Some progress :

[GTX_Admin]

Coming along nicely.   Almost at the end now.

[dams301]

Hi all,

Sorry, no news since December but the Kfir is almost finished :











I have an other long time project in parallel : an Avro Shackleton AEW.2 from Sanger (1/48th) :

















 
Damien

[Brian da Basher]

That's some mighty fine detailing, Damien!

[dams301]

Thanks Brian 

Some  pics of the finished model















Will be in a contest next WE  :)

[Brian da Basher]

Wow that's a real show-stopper! I'd be surprised if you don't win a prize for this beauty!

It's a winner all way 'round!

Brian da Basher

[dams301]

Thanks Brian, we'll see if it's a winner this WE 

The bomb bay of the Shackleton is still in progress :



Nearly 200 plastic part and it's not finish 

[GTX_Admin]

Watching your Shakelton with great interest.

[PR19_Kit]

I thought a 1/72 Shackleton was big, but that one.... GULP! 

[dams301]

The Shack' is a real challenge. Despite it's 1/48th, its size is comparable to the 1/72th Transall (a little bigger anyway) 

[dams301]

Hi all,

Wow that's a real show-stopper! I'd be surprised if you don't win a prize for this beauty!

Brian, no prizes for the Kfir in the contest. But my friends who saw it (and who are great modellers) pointed out to me that I made many progress in a few month. The best prize for me  :)

Some progress on the Shack' :









Next goal : close the fuselage for May

[GTX_Admin]

Looking good.
