In the second volume of 'Air Modeller's Guide to Wingnut Wings' there is a Pfalz build by David Parker. He used Misterkit GC17 German Pfalz Silbergrau and misted a coat of pale Aluminium over this. I never heard of the Colour before and I don't have it, so I will perform some tryouts to achieve the effect otherwise. Parkers result though is looking very convincing. Cheers Rob

1/32 Revell RF-4C 14th TRS
DocRob replied to SapperSix's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
The black basing looks a little psychedelic at first, but I can see how this will work out. Nice job on the worn Colours. Cheers Rob -
I'm in for that one. I started that same kit some years ago and had it out of the shelf twice last week. Maybe I continue with you along, although I'm not sure about the scheme I will depict. Thought about Lozenge too, but might choose the silvery white one from the kit. Cheers Rob

DOLPHIN NOSE a.k.a. MI-17A-5 a.k.a. CH-178
DocRob replied to Martinnfb's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
There is some serious scratching and creative solution finding involved in your project. I enjoy to follow how you tackle it and try to learn something out of it. Cheers Rob -
Tamiya P-51D done

Once again John, outstanding build and nice job with the printed decals. Cheers Rob -
Nice, you can feel the surrounding dryness, viewing your painting and weathering. Cheers Rob

Communist Russia’s Finest Passenger Service MI-4
DocRob replied to 1to1scale's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Nice and comfy, I have to second Gaz, these seats look great, hopefully you can see enough of that fine work through the doors and windows. The seats seem to be very narrow, but the legroom looks greater than in a Ryanair bird. Cheers Rob -
DOLPHIN NOSE a.k.a. MI-17A-5 a.k.a. CH-178
DocRob replied to Martinnfb's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Looking great Martin, at firs I couldn't believe that the blob in front of the copter would convert to an elegant nose and voila, nose nicely done. Nice job of scratching with the back door as well. Cheers Rob -
I know, that's why I bought the special edition five minutes ago . Since yesterday I had it in the shopping cart for the umpteenth time. Thanks Gaz for inflicting the stenciling pain to me . Cheers Rob

Outstanding, love the engine with all the added detail and the very convincing framework. Great skills as ever. Cheers Rob

Outstanding Jeroen, I second Cees on the V2 shard. Cheers Rob

Nice, the ultimate badass copter. I found a build description of one here (German text) http://kitchecker.com/bauberichte_1/mi-24v_helmut_fraundorfer.htm There is a book published by Eduard about Czech Mi-24. As it is written in Czech I can't read it, but it has a lot of great pics. Eduard sold the book with their limited edition 1/72 Hind and separately, but it seems out of print now, but might be available elsewhere. https://www.eduard.com/eduard/hind-mi-24-in-czech-and-czechoslovak-service-book.html?listtype=search&searchparam=hind Cheers Rob

A while ago I built a 1/48 F-15 Eagle and did the full stenciling job . I think the result looked ok, but since this time I have a more than slightly aversion to start another modern jet. More than once I put a F-4 Phantom back into the shelf and it was the only reason I didn't buy an AMK Mig-31 till now. I hate decaling in general and stenciling even more. One thing you might take into account is the quality of the decals. If they blend in perfectly without silvering and visible shining film, they will enhance your model a lot in my opinion. Cheers Rob

Tiger I Ausf. E/H, Tunisia

Very nice, with lots of sand deposits , I like it. Cheers Rob -
That they are, after living some month on our island, this beautiful lady appeared in our garden. She is a young Lobo Herreno a very special kind of dog only to be found on our island. They are born shepherd dogs and very agile, demanding and intelligent. After some month with us she was gone and we were very sad with the loss. She might have been 'kidnapped', because she had no tendencies to run away. Now we have this little fellow since more than two years, he is a real 'perro feliz' a happy dog in all accounts, always friendly and fun to watch. As you can see he loves to relax in the sun. Cheers Rob

Hi Gus, I like your green considering the 'warm light' photo situation, with the red background, I think it will look spot on in natural light, specially with a little 'dulling' however you will achieve that. Cheers Rob

LRDG with 20mm Breda
DocRob replied to Bomber_County's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Hi Phil, seems to be more a paint log than a build log , as the construction phase seems to be almost finished. However, I will follow closely and hope to get some new ideas out of your painting and weathering. I have a basic Tamiya Jeep with a Legend SAS conversion set and some Alpine figures waiting, so count me in. Cheers Rob -
Hi Phil, to me the Foxbat is not about being pretty. The fascination lays in a design which is about raw power and speed in the smallest possible frame, combined with some Soviet design madness. It's just a huge engine, made able to fly with the addition of some minor things like wings and tails and a tiny cockpit as well. I can remember my jaw dropping as a kid, when I first saw pictures of the beast. This bird's design is the ultimate neglection of fanciness. Cheers Rob

Great looking prop, should look great on your 109. Cheers Rob
-
Like it a lot, nice painting and weathering and the little Dio is spot on. Cheers Rob
-
Paint is looking great Gaz Is the angle of the wheel in picture one for real, due to relaxed fit Russian production tolerances maybe, or is it just not glued in place. Cheers Rob

Nice paintjob, that's the way to keep a monochrome surface from looking boring. Cheers Rob

Brilliant, the sepia toned ones look like taken from an old newspaper. Cheers Rob
