Giemme's 2017

[giemme 16,522]

Hi everybody; here's my production for 2017, with the very last entry completed today, so I think I can still consider it a 2017 build.

 

The year started with this Airfix 1/72 BAe HARRIER GR9a

 

 

 

The RFI is here:

while the lengthy WIP in progress can be found here:

 

Time for a propeller build then, actually a double build: HASEGAWA's 1/48 Macchi C202 Folgore

 

 

 

 

RFI:

 

This was followed by the HASEGAWA's 1/48 Macchi C205 VELTRO

 

 

 

RFI:

The build thread for both these models is here:

 

In between the two, I sneaked in a figure, actually a 1/9 bust from Mitchel Military Models:

WIP:

 

Thanks for watching

 

Ciao

Very nice, the Harrier is excellent.

I would say a very successful 2017 given the above..

Four masterpieces Giorgio.

[PlaStix 19,502]

Hi Giorgio. Well there may only be four but I know how much effort and work you have put into each one and they really are, as Cookie says, real masterpieces! And, as always, your figure painting skills never cease to amaze me. 

I hope you have a Very Happy New Year!

Kind regards,

Stix

Cheers Badder, thank you

 

Yes, the bust is exactly Russel character in Gladiator - that made my job easier because there's plenty of pictures of that pose and outfit

Great collection of builds there. The Harrier is lovely and tidy but I think Maximus is my fave - those blue eyes

Thanks Will   I'm very happy with Maximus too, my best effort at figure painting so far. The really nice and well defined sculpt helped a lot on that
