Guest DannyVM Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Finally......Republic P-47D-28RA Thunderbolt "Dottie Mae" is completely finished. Today i did some final work on the ground work regarding making the snow covered landscape. Also, in the past few day's i painted Dottie in all her glory, sadly i have to say i once could paint a real dame but that was a long time ago. Still i tried to give her the look's she deserved. I tried to take some photo's to do the P-47D justice, just like Dottie as well. Hope you guy's and girl's like her. I chose to represent the whole model like on the cartoon. I know, it's unrealistic due to the scarce clothing of Dottie and the very low temperatures, but i liked the setting, so........ For the snow i use simply Micro Balloons. First i sprayed a wood glue-water mixture onto the base plate, then i covered it with micro balloons and as last i used some hair spray to fix all that. Dottie herself is a 3D-printed figure. She was painted with Vallejo Model Color and Model Air. Regards Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Nice double Dottie Danny. Love the presentation in the snow. It's a beautiful plane, specially with that scheme and supports the look of the lightly clothed dame well. You made her shine and it's a nice idea to depict the cover. I'm thinking about something similar with my Lulu Belle (P-40N), where a corresponding resin Lulu exists. Cheers Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted February 4, 2019 Administrators Share Posted February 4, 2019 Looking lovely, Danny. The fact that Dottie herself is beautiful as well, is a real bonus. She'd definitely be one of those ladies who would make my head swivel on automatic. Oh, and nice P-47 too! The presentation is perfect, and I'm very impressed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Stunning Danny, like the idea of the micro balloons............ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DannyVM Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Thank's Phil. I've this big pot of micro balloons for a long time. In fact i used it to mix it with epoxy glue for giving more filling power. the idea came from a guy who own's a internet modelling shop. He said the snow that is sold to use for diorama's is just micro balloons, so i gave it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
