Popular Post Fishbone Posted December 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2018 Hi guys, just finished my F-14B and F/A-18F "Jolly Rogers". The display base is 20cm x 40cm. Flight deck is scratch build with plastic plate. Hobbyboss Tomcat, Hasegawa Super Hornet and Fujimi tractor. I use figures from Reedoak, RBF from Eduard and Tie-down set from Infini-model. 1/72nd scale. Took around 2 months to complete all of them. For sure there're some timeline mistakes between them e.g. tractor and ordnance.'' 1/72 VF-103 F-14B Tomcat "Jolly Rogers" US Navy F-14B Tomcat BuAerNo. 162918/AA100 of VF-103 Jolly Rogers, Operation Iraqi Freedom III, USS John F.

Orion Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Hello Fishbone, Museum quality display. I looked at every picture and what I found most interesting, besides the excellent build of the models, is the way you painted the figurines. That is already a crime at this scale. But all figurines are fantastically done. Regards, Orion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

28ZComeback Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 The diorama tells a story. The figures appear to be doing things relevant to the planes in a realistic manner with poses that mimic real movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt P Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 OK I give up! I thought the aircraft were amazing on their own, but with the figures and diorama added they are just superb. I think I'll just pack up my paints and go back to watching the TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT7567 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 While it may not be historically accurate, it's a gorgeous display of the Jolly Rogers' most recent mounts. Nicely done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
