discussion 1:1 scale replica Isaac Todd...

[Guest]

Feel free to move this But I couldn't get a completed tag in the 'other models' section.


I worked on this furiously for 15-20 mins on and off 11 months ago, mostly I the evenings .


9 months 12 days ago Sarah took over and to be honest she did a better job than me. She scratch built this beautiful scale replica of me and I'm very very proud of her.

Marvellous work Dougie! Hopefully a future petrolhead


15-20 mins.... that includes the apré cuppa I take it?

 

[Guest]

That looks so life like Dougie, how did you achieve such a realistic skin tone, still find it to be a bit of a black art I m afraid congratulations to you and Isaac.

Cheers guys much appreciated, very excited.


The 15-20 minutes includes a10-15 minute modeling specific warm up so you don't get a muscle strain. you know like brush cramp or eye strain.

 

[Guest]

Dougie, not sure it's 1:1 scale just yet, I think you probably need to apply some Revell Babymilk, allow that to soak in, then in about six months add a little Tamiya rusks.


Give it about 15 years and it'll be 1:1 scale!


Beautiful boy mate, bet you're well chuffed. I was when Hayden was born! Congrats to you and your wife and I wish you all the very best happiness mate!

 

[Guest]

Congratulations on a superb build, I recommend a light flesh wash and a rub with some talc.

 

[Guest]

Again, thanks to all. Visiting the 2 of them the now, he is very alert.


Poor mummy is recovering from theater after slight complications but if we can avoid a blood transfusion today she may get out tomorrow.


I have still have a table of modelling guff to tidy away as well which I couldn't do as planned!

Very nice combined model. Congratulations to you Dougie Sarah Lucy and Isaac.


Perhaps a nickname "Airfix" or even "Vallejo".


Always a problem with 1to1 scale where do you put them especially as they have


this peculiar habit of getting larger.

Congratulations on building this little bundle of joy.


You may or may not be aware of this, but these particular models are the most expensive models ever found. Also, just like Spitfires or Mosquitoes, you will discover that once the first one is done, you will be wanting others...


Congtrats to you both!

 

[Guest]

Agree with all points Ian and Laurie haha expensive but fun and long build

Hi dougie just a little question was the plastic a bit on the right side ( I mean over 8ls ) but I think you mean you must have added some weight to it. Think you've definatke ply got the detail and scale right, lots of practice to get this one just perfect eh


Well done you and well done your lovely wife, the 1/1 scale ?? Hmmm think if he's like his dad he wil like create great things


Awesome and congratulations again


Best wishes


Robert
