discussion Scratchbuilt 1/50 twister ride

[Jim R]

That's a great looking paint job.

Very funky good job you didn't spray it as another 21 hours masking would be involved :smiling2:

Andy, I have said it before and will no doubt say is again, Love you paint skills.

 

[Andy T]

Thanks very much guys. It doesn't hold up to close inspection very well in all honesty, but thankfully you will only ever see the pictures :nerd:

 

[Andy T]

I've made and painted a couple of cars for the ride. There's no way I was going to build all twelve (he's not that much of a mate :tears-of-joy so I've knocked up some dummies to be hidden under tarps



To make life easier I sprayed these with the green first then brushed the other colours on. Vallejo Model Color thinned with Mr Leveling Thinner only needed 2 airbrushed coats rather than the 7 I brushed on the other pieces lol

 

[Andy T]

I've added a few more bits & bobs so it's ready to go back to my mate.

A fun little project, back to something more mainstream next :smiling3:

 

[minitnkr]

Very well done.

 

[Jim R]

Your mate will be more than happy with that. Very well done and a very unusual subject.

 

[Stefee]

Your imagination is only matched by your modelling skills, I wonder what's next? Lovely and unusual job.

 

[scottie3158]

Andy, your mate should be well chuffed with that, it's a great result.

 

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Very skillful work Andy. Top marks mate.

 

[Andy T]

Thank you all for the great comments. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out for a bit of a fun build. Once he's picked it up I'll try and get a picture with the rest of his collection.

Thanks Tim!

I'm still lacking the finesse of you more experienced guys, but if I keep working on the basics I hope to carry on improving :smiling3:
