The Ship Model Forum

Aha!!


so this is where all our dark secrets come out...

Hmnnnn...

I do 'occasionally' build a Railway locomotive.... ...

Revell 1/87 Big Boy with all new handrails and additional pipework...
I also collect streamlined steam locomotives..( and non-streamlined locomotives ) in scales from gauge 0 downwards...

Rather than clog up Modelwarships.com with lots of my non-ship images...

here is a link to my thread over at Kartonist.de.... ( because one of the chaps there kindly built a 1/87 Ho PM 36 Polish streamliner in card for me )

Jims trains( plenty of images ! )

This is the Anigrand 1:144 resin kit of the Bell YFM-1 Airacuda, a most Flash Gordon-esque aircraft from the late 1930's. Unusual in that it has the propellors at the back of the engine nacelles, and manned heavy cannon turrets in the front.
Not very succesful, but one operational squadron was equipped with it until 1940. I have this soft spot for 1:144 warbirds, and then the oddballs at that. This model is still missing the propellors, since the resin ones were lost during construction.

A break from ship models for me...S3-A Viking of VS-24 redtail scouts .. I worked on this aircraft aboard Nimitz 1977-78 med cruise.. Verlinden flight deck in 1/72 scale photocopied the tail art and made into A decals . Now to make the case for it..

Awesome diorama Bill, I like it a lot! My good friend CDR Emory Brown was CO of VF-84 at the time you were aboard, if ya click on the link in my signature line you will see the dio I made for him of his Tomcat landing for his 1000th carrier landing.

Nice Viking! Those planes never get enough love in the modeling community.

2nd is my A-10 that I just finished. It's an Arctic Hawg that I made into what-if...


Both kits are 1/32. Enjoy

Well thats an extraordinary and superb work, my friend!
As far as the picture can tell, you know how to use your airbrush.
Very nice!

Oh, i almost forgot:
The little LVG made it to be an cover girl.
My first one.
I like that, its a cool thing to see the own work on a cover.
I hope its useful for all of those who are interested.

That's a beautiful cover shot. Congrats!

Molders, congratulation for your cover and for the article in general. very intresting and inspiring.
expecially like the way you did the wooden effect.

stunning model!

cheers

Taking a short break from ships, built a giant (1/144) robot kit from a Japanese manga series called Five Star Stories. Official reason is the space for its box in the cabinet can take 4 ship kits

Thank you very much for the kind words, gentlemen!
Very much appreciated indeed!

This was a gift for a friend at work. It was the airplane he worked on while serving.






And this makes it all worth doing!

When I brought it in his eyes widened like a kid at Christmas.

Very cool build and gift. Nicely done!

I forgot to post a photo of my last "not a ship". 1/48th scale Tamiya KV-2 Russian tank. A very fast and fun build:



Build page is here: http://www.devinjpoore.com/models/kv2/photos/index.htm

That's a cool build. Kind of off the wall. LOL.
Seriously I've never seen that tank before.

A quick and dirty 5-day scratchbuild of Radarsat-2 for a Secret Santa exchange in our school department:
