PattheCat Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) I can hear the Rolls Royce humming and the Nazi wailing. An extremely well done combo. Congrats Stix. Edited May 13, 2017 by PattheCat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 As mentioned before - I now have some Photoshopped versions of some of the original photos. In all cases the support rod has been removed, in some cases the aircraft was photographed against the white background so it's been superimposed on a sky background and some have been aged or blurred. Comments and suggestions welcome. Kind regards, Stix 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) Fantastic photos Styx, especially the black and white. I can just imagine the photographer falling over backwards after some of the head on shots. What's next?

PattheCat Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) Here are the votes of the Belgian jury: 2,7,9,16,22. Still in awe looking at your brush painting and photo edition skills.

Yes I would have to agree that the photographer was putting himself in harms way for some of those images! - It is quite a dangerous place in our backroom sometimes! The next project is currently underway in the 'From Russia with love' GB - I'm making three 1/48 Russian AFVs and hope to build a Zvezda Yak3 as well.

stevehnz Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Those "free flight" shots are great Stix, just needs a bomb about to impact on the anti tank gun for completeness. Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regards the bomb - if you look carefully in the photos in the first posts of this thread you may spot there is actually a bomb falling behind the trees: Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Sorry Stix, missed that, the perils of browsing the site on a phone. Looks like you're bang on target too, it should come as a nasty surprise. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
