Rabbit Leader Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) Brilliant modelling. I give up, I'm off to get my knitting!!! Just to add some salt to the wounds - our little mate Brad does all this without the use of any optical magnification!! I might join you in the knitting stakes - can't do much worse than my modelling. There are times when I'd rather explain to my wife what this "Ashley Madison" account is all about - rather than show Brad my works in progress! Cheers...

Spad Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Ooh, now! I do like that - magnificent work. Delicacy in the extreme in the painting alone - never mind that rigging! Nice one! ATBRick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmouredSprue Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Superb! It is just amazing. In such small scale should be very tricky to have those rigging done properly. What have you used BTW? Cheers Paulo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Amazing! If you'd of said it was 1/32, I'd of believe you, incredible detailing and weathering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eng Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 That is incredible, the rigging is absolutely exquisite. This could easily have passed for 1/48 or 1/32 but when I saw that Humbrol tin....wow!! Eng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 As all have said in 1/72 this is brilliant, my eyesight and thick fingers would not be able to cope with the rigging which is outstanding and right scale Top job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Cancian Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 Thanks again folks Paulo - the rigging material is fine elastic, from the core of a product called "knitting in elastic" - this product is essentially a roll of cotton thread wound around an elastic core. Remove the cotton, colour the core with a black felt tip pen, and apply with superglue. It's stretchy too so it won't go slack. The down side is that it provides no additional structural strength to the model, unlike stretched sprue, wire or monofilament, so whilst it doesn't go slack, the model is still a bit fragile. Thanks! BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dyck Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 So ok Humbrol now make 1000 l can . It is not 1/72 ! If yes , you are an artist. Whooooooow! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
