The Doktor

Since there hasnt been much talk about static models lately, and i didnt see anyone at the wicklow plastic open. And mostly cos im still makin a Subaru Brat that I have a pain in me arse with and cant start somthing more interesting till its finished.
I got sooooooo many things I wanna build and I cant!!
Anyone got anything interesting on the go???

Me eyes...

No really.. good lighting is important.
I got a decent flourecent light in the room, Got a couple of those bathroom type flourecents over the work bench, and a halogen lamp just in case...
though i would love one of those trulite types but they are silly money.

Does a 1/25 Aoshima Back to the Future Part III DeLorean count?

Its unusual for me as i'm into building cars exclusively but not sci-fi/fiction. More race cars and high powered or vintage street cars

BFassassin

I started that Scania truck model a while back but I have been busy lately and havent got back to it since.

The Doktor

Lads!! Pictures!!!

Ciaran_Dub

Will try and organise a few pics of the DeLorean at the weekend. Actually would be interested in getting your point of few on one or two of them because its the first time I tried weathering, I did it on the exhausts at the back, personally I am happy with it as my first try.

Well, not far ! Next one should fit the Scenic perfectly !
I'll do a building thread as usual as soon as I start.

Eh eh eh.. 3.75 mtrs is pretty standard for a glider ! So far, the biggest I have is a 1/3 scale asw22.. That's 7.33 mtrs Fuselage is 2.70 mtrs long, cannot bring it back in Ireland, don't fit the car
Big is beautifull ! Well, that what I keep saying to my wife !


But in static, i'm doing the finishing touch on a 1/32 Wildcat
