basket Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 You are nuts ! Your building skills are amazing and your thread is very inspiring . Wish I could do one quarter of your work in 1/48. I'm takin' a seat for the next steps . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I do like a Tomcat and this is turning out to be a serious detailing build. I like the way you are approaching this build. Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngantek Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 This is frankly unbelievable. I just hope you're paying that army of mutant atomic super ants proper overtime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also sharpened the edges of the air intake. At the moment, Tomcat looks like this. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rymulus Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 A little update. I have finished the next elements of the radar antenna. I added a few elements to the base of the antenna, while all the electronics behind the antenna were made from scratch. This is the component given by the kit manufacturer. And this one built by me, the whole consists of 72 parts. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James G Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Wow, this gets better and better! Love the radar in particular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Just curious - are you a Lilliputian? I am at a loss to ascribe your ability to scratchbuild such tiny details to anything else. You must be incredibly small yourself. Cheers, Bill PS. Bloody amazing work - and it keeps getting better. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billn53 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 OMG how do you do this, it’s so small? 😲 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spadgent Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Lovely catch up. Your work is stunning as ever. Have you considered making larger kits? I can’t even imagine the amount of macro detail you might achieve on a 1/32 or even 1/24. Bravo that man. 👏👏👏 Johnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom216 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I having fits just thinking about working on parts that tiny - much less making them! M'gawd! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rymulus Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 I'm done with the radar. Initially, the front of the antenna was from the set, finally I removed it and made a new one from scratch. This makes the antenna more like the original. I also installed the antenna base and did the missing cables. In the future it will look like this. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty84 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Wow, that's micro engineering at its best. Extremely impressive 👍 One question, what did you use to represent the rivets on the canopy division bar (5th picture)? Whatever it is, it must be tiny considering the overall size of the part.

ruudster Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Great stuff! Normally by now i'd be wanting the WIP to speed up so that i can see the scheme chosen/finished build. Not this time. This is a great ride of uber details. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
