  1. G'Day All, My first attempt at painting a figure bust. I think I got this off Etsy, but can no longer find it. It appears to be 3D printed with metal wolf head. Started to brush paint the figure, however i couldn't get the results I was after, instead switched to airbrushing. Figure is painted with Vallejo and Citadel acrylics.
  2. G'Day All, Missed it by that much - tried to finished painting this figure before the end of year 2021, however it was delayed ... oh well, it is the first finished figure for 2022.

  4. nice build ... just watching this build this morning.
  5. great effort ... have you considered removing the rivets all together and use a rivet wheel to recreate them ???
  6. yeah, there were some fit issues with them. They were also fragile
  7. G'Day All, Part of a group build with a group of friends, we all built the Tamiya 1/100 F-4EJ Phantom, but use the different marking options from the kit. Build straight from the box. This kit as some alignment issues with the wing on the bottom of the fuselage. There is a gap between the upper wings and fuselage that needed some filling. A bit of Mr Surfacer primer helped fill this in. Painting with Tamiya and Gunze acrylics and weathered with Tamiya Black Panel Line wash.
  8. G'Day All, okay, its technically not a RAAF aircraft, however, this aircraft served with the Australian Flying Corps (AFC) during WWI. The AFC become the RAAF in 1921. So, here is the Toko 1/72 Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter marked up as A5967 from 2 Sqn AFC. According to the Australian War Memorial (https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/H12729%3A33), this aircraft flew in France, during WWI. The kit is built straight out of the box. I didn't rig the model, as I wanted an easy build, since this is one of several bi-planes I built at the same time. The model was painted with Gunze and Vallejo acrylics and Humbrol Enamels. Decals are a mixture of kit decals and number decal from a stenciling set.
  9. G'Day All, Well, took a break from the normal work load of aircraft and sci fi ... more aircraft lately then Sci Fi. Here is Dragon's little 1/24 scale Iron Man Mark 42. Built straight from the box, primed with Gunze Mr Surfacer 1000 and black based with Gunze H2 Black. I applied zenithal highlights using Gunze H1 White. The plan was to create some tonal variation with the paint job. Painted the Gold using a mixture Vallejo Gold and Silver (about a 2:1 mixture). The Red was first painted with Vallejo Mecha Colour Metalic Red and over painted with Tamiya Clear Red. The model was washed with Reikland Flesh Shade from Citadel. Tided up the base paint. Silver was painted on the joints. The base is black based and painted Beige Brown and a mixture Beige Brown and Metalic Red. Washed with Tamiya Black Panel Line wash and weathered with Silver paint and Humbrol Rust and Earth powders.
