don f Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 This model was intended as a model suitable for long distance viewing, hung from the ceiling. Three model builders worked on the model. Mike provided inspiration, hacked up 1/48 AMT S-3A and Kinetics C-2A kits to produce the shape of the fictitious C-3 "Super COD" . I then took over the project to produce a model primed and ready to paint and finish. The model was then shipped to Doug for final assembly, painting and decaling. The WIP link is below. Here's the finished model. The model did not land in its intended location. So, it will grace Doug's man cave. Hope you enjoy the pictures. This was a fun project. 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlxBNE Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 What a great team effort. Doug please can you hang it from the ceiling in your man cave and take some photos so we can see a near impression of the original planned display? PS 1/48 ?? How HUGE is it? Is there space in the ceiling of the man cave? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don f Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 @AlxBNE I'll check with Doug and see if he can provide a photo showing what he did with model. And it is a big model. I usually work in 1/72. Handling that model required some care on my part. Fortunately for me, filling and sanding involved large surfaces with no concern for preserving surface detail. I did use the better part of a tube of Tamiya white putty, a fair amount of Apoxy Sculpt as well as CA mixed with that pink dental repair resin.

Must have been the result of living on a remote, some say most remote, archipelago on earth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
