Beaconroot Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Simply awesome work! A great finish to a great aircraft! Wonderful! Jim Root Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 It took ONLY 114 hours? To make something THAT good? Come on, no-one's that fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Not bad I s'pose!...there's a rivet slightly out of alignment just behind the right thingmybob by the right oojmaflip... Seriously nice build mate, considering you were away most of the year it's surprising it only took that amount of time, sounds a fun build.. what's next...........Guppy?

Dr.Jellyfingers Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Very impressive build and cracking photo's ! Si. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanflyer Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Thanks for the comments folks, it's appreciated. Jeffrey, the photo background was simply a large piece of card which I got from Hobbycraft, Electric Blue in colour and cost me about a quid. I use it because I generally write articles for Military In Scale magazine, and that's the standard background Spence likes to use. I used two sheets in some shots, just to widen the coverage behind. I put it on my kitchen table and up the wall behind, and took photos with a Nikon Coolpix S3100 which I got for Christmas. Some were in natural daylight from the kitchen window, the ones with a sharper shadow were lit from above by the kitchen light and the camera's white balance was set to 'incandescent' to compensate for the colour cast. General, I see what you mean about that rivet... I know EXACTLY what's wrong with this build, but after what happened at the Sutton Coldfield show, I'm not telling ANYBODY! Haven't decided what's next yet... To everyone else, glad you liked it. Happy New Year, Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 That is incredible, it looks absolutely real. I love the subject matter too. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter W Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 It's a job to add anything to the comments that you've already got Dean but couldn't let this one pass without adding my regards on a great build. I'm going to file this one away in the hope that my 48th scale one can benefit from your build thread. Love it, it's a superb build of an historic aircraft and worthy of all the accolade heaped on it. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Wonderful model, only came across the build late on, but was a pleasure reading it. What references did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanflyer Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Cheers for the extra comments, folks...it's appreciated. As for references, I used a couple of sites which have walkarounds of the real thing, which I think were also listed in my WIP thread by someone - if that helps. Cheers, Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffreyK Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Cheers Dean, I`m going to look for that colour cardboard then. I have a light tent and can probably cut it to size easily. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notty Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 As someone who's built this same kit before, I am speechless! That is amazing, and the detail is sublime. Personally I think ithe X-15 is the coolest flying machine ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
