Global Scale Modeller

Calling her done, quick build of a micro scale Bandai kit.
Sorry my painting not quite up to snuff in my opinion...that will change in the fall and in new workshop
(new photos as Photobucket ruined the others)
These are the inspiration shots





Bandai 1/144 Poe Dameron’s X Wing











All the Photobucket photos have been removed and new photos added
Thanks guys

Nice work buddy that front on view is awesome

Nicely done. Mind you, Poe will almost certainly get written up for low flying and noise pollution!

Super cool little dio and that backing shot is too much! Makes me want to watch the movie again.

Thank you gentlemen
Ya I put him down pretty low

Excellent Little Piece there mate. Gratz

Tiny scratch build cannons, tiny water base, huge result. Totally nailed the scene, the drink to inaugurate your long weekend clearly fueled a great little build!

Thanks pal,
You got me out of the funk and into doing another subject...that finished in two days!!
I never work that fast

I bit the bullet today and ordered the 1/72 Bandai kit from E Bay
See if it comes from Hong Kong in time to re-try this dio with another version of the model

Nice work!

Yes the water was not convincing for someone.
They felt it needed more fine spray look, misty if you will, as mine was too chunky

Did this neasayer explain how to achieve that at the scale you were working with ?????

Right?!

Quoting here from two sources

"lovely model, but not utterly convinced by the water though..."

"he might benefit from synthetic stuffing extruded and strategically placed to create the effect of more vaporous clouds, on top of the water turbulence he has already depicted"

That is ok, finer mist was one of my goals for version two, certainly not with styrofoam though, hate that stuff
I am not butt hurt by comments like that, a bit surprised, but have a pretty thick skin.
It just drives me to do version #2 as I wasn't happy with the model, I actually liked the water more than the model
Always room to get better, next version will be a freaking knockout

Thank you my friend, I did actually have fun with it and it came together over a single day of mad-scientist-like modelling

Some more pics

That's awesome. Honestly if you didn't tell me right away it was cotton it would take me a while to figure that out.

Classy finish Scott

love that water

Thanks Gav
I have the 1/72 to take another run at this in a larger scale, just need time and motivation

Look forward to seeing that. And any upcoming build of yours in fact

Re-populating the photos is this thread…inspired by my pic of the 3D printed x wings for the Scarif dio
Have to re-shoot my version of Poe’s X wing…it is at work


I might actually take a run at doing this again with more X wings


It was a super cool scene from The Force Awakens

Another nice reference build of this scene
These look like 1/72 scale models to me
