I had enough of building ship models.... so I decided to make a ship of a different kind... Manga's Gundam Zeon's Space battle cruiser - Musai. Enjoy it very much and did not take long to do!

OK, I can play too...

I call it "The Bonneville Express",

The car; 1953 Studebaker built as a Salt-flat racer. The camper is the AMT 'Open road Camper' and the truck is a 1960 Chevy. I kitbashed the crewcab several years ago.

Eventually these will get the Dio base they deserve...

I aslo dabble in armor. This is an OOB Tamiya 1/35. (Errors and all)

To take a break from ships I started building armor models too, started with 1\35 scale then found I liked 1\48 better, I could finish a kit in a day or two, as opposed to a ship which takes weeks or months (or in the case of all but one of them, years, as Im still not done with them!!) So here are a few pictures of a M4Sherman and a Jeep I built before I left the states almost two years ago:

Another one is almost completely finished.
Some more work at the cargo bay and the tires is required. Figures and some light dirt/dust. A easy thing to overdo, so i give my self time.

And this one is currently at the bench. Its a 32nd scale german recon airplane of WWI.
WingnutWings�s LVG C. VI

I can really recommend these wingnutwings - kits. A real pleasure to build and amazing clean manufactured.
The LVG catched my attention because the whole fuselage appears in a bare wood finish. I found a combination of
handpainted wood grain und glaze technique to render realistic wood.
The Engine and metal parts went, and gonna went much more into a Alclad II Orgy.
The ultimate fun...... :big_grin:

This is my latest What If. I'm still waiting for parts for the big Yamato build, so I decided to do this in the meantime

The middle is actually yet another a-7 with an f-111 nose cone and the radar bit from an f-4 in 1/32 scale. The guns in the noses are actually from a gundam warrior in 1/100 scale. So yeah they can be the 30mm, but the single gun is the 50mm cannon. YEAH BABY !!!!!! :heh: :heh: I've actually been working on the bombs and some JATO's so not to much to show right now but I will keep yall informed.



On another note I love the figure vignettes. Are those oil paints? any way great job :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

Thanks for that - all done with acrylics, although I did use oils for washes on the wall and the rock face.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who builds other than ships. I finished these two last year as a "break" from the more serious ship modeling.

Nice work Devin, with regards to them not being ships, at the least the biplane required rigging :smallsmile:

Thanks, guys. The Raider looks better in person, I did a lot of shading with the Alcad metal paint that doesn't show in the photos.
