Pete in Lincs Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I love the Ian McQue stuff. Always inspiring. Have a look at a couple of McQue builds on here by @tiking he's very good. I've been doing Ma.k for years and am just swapping over to a couple (at least) of Star Wars themed builds.  You have obviously worked out that you need to use a hosting site to be able to post pictures on here. I use 640x480 as a picture size. It works nicely here. Much bigger takes a while to download. If you post a picture, leave a spare empty line underneath it and then enter your text or it can upset the spacing. Other than that, I think it's all fairly simple (It needs to be for me!) and just enjoy yourself while we enjoy your work. Regards, Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

francis van iterson Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 Thanks for the warm welcome Pete, and the. explanation. I will definitely have a look tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I forgot to say, leave a space between the pictures. It makes them a bit easier to look at. I like what you are doing with this build. Mechanical stuff that looks like it might work together to achieve flight. Though it all comes down to paint and weathering in the end! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickframe Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Yes! I'm a fan of McQue's work too - really interesting, and I like his graphics. Your progress is really nice - great repurposing/scratch work. Looking forward to seeing how you pull this together -  Cheers Nick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Rose Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 This is looking very cool! Really like the front, I will also be following with much interest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Not to be outdone, I built two. Both docked and unloading cargo. The first, Misfit, I built in Saudi. But due to it's size and weight I had to leave it there when I left. I did, however, salvage what I could from it and incorporated parts and figures into Misfit 2 in 2019. They're not quite McQue clones but use the same idea for their existence.  Misfit - built 2014 https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234963278-misfit-is-done/&do=findComment&comment=1668744  Misfit 2 - built 2019 https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235052278-misfit-2-is-finished/&do=findComment&comment=3293519  3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photon Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Great work, Francis. You’re off to great start. I had this particular craft on my (long) list of things to build. I’m really looking forward to seeing your interpretation.  I’ve also built a McQue inspired model:  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francis van iterson Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) hello photon nice that you respond, indeed I recognize your model that looks good; Ian Mcque is a particularly beautiful subject. I used to draw a lot of sci-fi in my teens and built many models, often trucks. I wanted to build a model of one of my favourites (Simon Stalhag https://www.simonstalenhag.se/Â but I don't dare to do that maybe after this model, who knows. nice to meet you Photon. gr francis Edited May 23, 2021 by francis van iterson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francis van iterson Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) Hello good evening the last few days I tried something, it is still attached to the tape. I first want to come up with an interior, but that is for later                                  I think this will take a long time, well, I am fine off the street too.

Alan R Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I love this! I might just have a go myself ... soon. (Too many models on the go at the moment ) Â Cheers, Alan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Rose Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Really like the side window shutter, that's a nice detail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francis van iterson Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) The problem I am facing now is that I too enthusiastic about my build. I have A Ton of cool material that I could attach But then it will be Overkill; mathematically visual, not good so I need to go back to the simplicity as Japanese model builders do I will start taking pictures en show them to you ( the overkill situation ) But for now thanks and till soon Gr Francis Edited May 28, 2021 by francis van iterson 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
