Ready for paint. Looks silly right now but once aluminum tape is painted, torn and buckled it will be better.

Since cowling will be off and part of it is moulded right onto the airframe I need to make something up to put nose art on.

Now it is green. Well olive drab to be specific.

Tinted gloss coat to start the weathering and give a good base for decals.
Cant get a good picture with the gloss since it throw the colours off. The grey is much darker and not so blue in real life.
Aluminum torn and buckled.

Wow that detail in insane. I can only be envious of being able to do that.

Tcoat · 05-01-2021, 09:02 PM

OK so basic weathering done. Will get some mud stuck to the bottom when I make up the base.
Still need trap for engine. bent up prop, canopy and piles of good and scrap parts.

Kaotic Lazagna · 05-01-2021, 09:37 PM

Seat belts and buckles getting put on. Took the time to paint the door reflectors, only to realize they can't be seen once the door cards are put onto the main cabin part. Oh well. Haha

Sorry, forum won't upload the pics in the correct orientation.

Amazing is an understatement. I can swap the microprocessor out of a cell phone but I can't imagine the number of steps and techniques needed to create such a detailed sculpture.

It helps that the guy was a bit of a showoff and loved attention so there are a pile of pictures to work from.

It is not clean. Was handling it for probably at least an hour to finish things up. A lot of that was dialing in ride height and camber on all four corners. I'll clean and re wax it and take better pics...eventually. lol

Oh. And still gotta put on the license plates. Lol. Also debating on if I should put on the windshield wipers or not

Camber looks way off.

Going for that "hellaflush" look. I actually got rid of some camber cuz it was too much (as much as this was supposed to be a VIP build, I couldn't bring myself to have that much camber). lol
