general melchett Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Bravo Martian, a lovely little number. Great to see her in the paddock, although the garden could do with a trim...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Always a pleasure to see these older kits being built, and when done to this standard it is even more so. You have done an outstanding job there Martian, I love it! I still have one I built in the mid 1970's, it'll be in the attic somewhere, I must try and locate it!

Actually It was seeing a picture of one parked up in some long grass that gave me the inspiration for the base. 5 hours ago, Viking said: Always a pleasure to see these older kits being built, and when done to this standard it is even more so.

Great to see her in the paddock, although the garden could do with a trim...... As it happens, you have just given me a very good idea. IPMS rules say that a model may be accompanied by a single figure to illustrate scale. They do not say what species it has to be. I have order a 1/72 scale sheep to go with the model.

perdu Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Lovely and a shoo-in for a Herge production Of course for scale I might prefer the lovely Gina the hostess 😇 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations, Can't wait to see her in the plastic at SMW A plastic sheep is indeed a good idea but what about a goat ?? It will illustrate one of the BMers habit when partying !! Sincerely.

Baldy Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Absolutely beautiful build of the old classic Airfix kit - it rarely looked better! Super build and super finish - and an interesting and really very attractive colour scheme. In short - superb! Cheers Malcolm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obdl3945 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Ah, 'Il gobbo' in spectacular disguise... I do hope Esmeralda approves! Lovely work and a clean rendition of an old favourite; always one I liked, the SM79... just had that aeronautical 'something' to draw interest. Very well done.
