Here she is after the resin dust has settled (Not that there is a lot of that with this model). About two months on the bench. I used Gunze paint and AK Weathering washes, pigment and grime. The figure is from Ultracast and is there to give an impression of the size. Enjoy!

Aaaaaaaand she's done! More proper pics later.

Almost done!

As i said on FB! G10! And be sure to get the A.M.U.R. Reaver upgrade. Review imminent on LSM!

Supercool and not an absurdly huge size either

Welcome! Really liking your YouTube review. I usually have my doubt on printed IP's on Large Scale kits, but in 72nd scale it should be cool! I'll move your topic to the proper section now

wow! nice one fran!

Metallics Volume 1 AK Learning Series 04 Publisher: AK Interactive Editor & Idea: Fernando Vallejo Available from AK Interactive for € 9,95 What we have here is number 4 in the growing line of AK Interactive’s Learning series. Instead of covering a series of subjects (like Cold War Tanks for instance) ththis range deals with a certain material. Volume 1 taught us to paint Realistic and weathered Wood and was linked to the AK paint set. Volume 2 was all about German Panzer uniforms and volume 3 dealt with rubber and iron under the title: Tracks and wheels. Pretty smart marketing, since the result of a modellers work is crucial in creating raving fans of a certain tool or paint. Focussing on a certain material helps us to master a certain technique. So what do we get? A sturdy glossy A5 cover, binding 83 high quality glossy pages. Restrained advertorial space and various metallic painting techniques and metal types. Let me walk you through it: Index: • Introduction With an explanation on how light is refracted and basic colour theory. • Paint types Deals with the characteristics of acrylics, enamels, lacquers, inks and other metallic paint types available. • Main metals in modelling The most common metals we try to replicate in our models and the challenges they bring. • Techniques and samples Step by step tutorials on how to achieve a convincing steel or aluminium finish with various paints and techniques. This last chapter is one to take a closer look at. There are so many ways to deal with various metallic finishes, that it’s important to choose the medium and technique carefully. The book shows us the effects of weathering pigments, filters, washes and inks on top of the XTreme metal paints by AK Interactive (but these materials ofcourse can also apply to Alclad II for instance). It shows us how to properly use the wax and polish agent with the name True Metal by AK Interactive and has an entire section of step by step airplane finish techniques and super glossy car and bike finishes that show your mirrored reflection after careful polishing. Even the application of Bare Metal foil is shown, even though it is not featured in the AK product line-up. A nice touch. Look at the effect of inks on this heat discolored engine of a 1/48 Fouga Magister... Verdict This is a simple but effective little title that will offer great help to the novice modeller, whether he falls for the AK Extreme Metal range or not. But it will also help the weathered, senior modeller that is open to new techniques and / or materials. A highly recommended for the quick learner! A special thanks to AK Interactive for the review sample. Available here. Jeroen Peters

I think i want one...

Patience and measure thrice / cut once is rewarded with the HPH kits. Great work so far! I'm sure I'll see it in person pretty soon

That looks lovely! Scale and subject-wise you are all over the place!

A few things left to do: Add the aileron and rudder counterweights. (x4). Add the aiming sights: Add the belt that hold the Ohka to the cart. As you can see in this pic the strap was white. Probably thick canvas: And here are just a few more pics that show a dented nose. Also not the wide seam across the fuselage that connects the nose to the firewall. That's why i widened that seam on my model.:

Progress! Metal rocket tubes are in: Scratches are being added and oil filters: Almost done!

AK and Ammo actually. Applied matt varnish and adding scratches now. I use a large toothpick to tighten up the washes around the window frames.

Very sad news and a great loss. I've read that his sick bed was short lived...

Pfffff

And dirty!

A little feast for the eyes! Undressing always does the trick!

Perfect! Hard to believe I'm looking at a resin kit..

Just a few more small decals to go! Then to seal it all in. Washes. Matt varnish. Getting there... The light discolorment at the rear red line is temporarily and caused by the Micro sol.

You havent been paying attention...

Doing the decals. Already put the window masks back on. Couldn't resist checking...

That would be a great subject for HK Models. Or HPH... they don't seem scared easily of big subjects

Friggin lovely AND unusual! Don't think we'll soon see a large scale kit of these. Thanks for sharing!

At first with a sharp blade. The sharp dents i smoothed out with a soft fine nail-pad file.
