Dude you have got to have some great eye's. My eye's are hurting just looking at it. The size just boggles the mind!!!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Very cunning Lucas, very cunning indeed.

reminds me of that Blackadder quote

"so cunning you could stick a tail on it and call it a weasel"


cheers

[muller]

This build is a great insight into the world of real minature modelling, that decal method is fantastic, great work Lucas!

 

[Catch22]

Wow, great work!

Thanks to all !!!

I´m really glad that my work is good . Thanks to all !

Evan, I´ll send an A4 sheet to you try to make you own decals, by the way, like Terry says, the withe color is the problem

The work on canopy is almost done, soon I´ll post the pics.

Now I have a really big problem (not too big by the scale ), when I was applying the decal on wing, it broken it all !

I try to save the decal with Microescale products, but with no sucess.

I´m not good on make decals like that, cos I´m a complete newbie on make my own decals,

I need to buy a new one decal sheet, could you help-me to find it guys ?

I try on google, but not find

 

[Catch22]

You could possibly contact Minicraft and see if they will supply you with a new sheet.

 

[Lucke.stz]

Good Idea !

I sent a e-mail to Minicraft.. waiting for a help

Thanks !

 

[Catch22]

No problem!

 

[Wurger]

But it will be still the same decal sheet you got the broken marking from.

 

[Catch22]

Yes, it will. How did the rest go on?

 

[Lucke.stz]

The model is almost done, I need now just to make the wings joining..

I´ll post some pics soon.

Best regards and thanks !

 

[Lucke.stz]

As I promisse, the new pics;...

Well, let´s start to the canopy parts, the part moveble is too tick, so the finish is not good, then I did a new piece from a clear plasticard part, just fit the original piece and with a heat gun, I heat the plasticard en fix on the original piece.

The result was this, left the original, right the piece that I made

This canopy part is on two pieces, so I cut in the middle and apply the decal technique. Note the colors inside and outside the piece.

Now fixed on the model:

By now is just this, thanks to see
