This is going on to a deck which is rather large, 1Meter lenght, this will enable 3 other biulds to be on the same deck

That is going to be 1 awesome build when completed, the F14 looks stunning. 


Don't forget to post more pictures when you can.

Impressive looking kit and apparently better than the ancient Tamiya 1/32.  A real stunner of a build and I love the weathering effect.   I look forward to seeing the other models being added to the diorama.


One of these days I will build a series of these modern(ish) 1/32 jets, the F14, F15, F18, F4 being among my targets with a 1/32 Buccaneer hopefully one day  being produced....

I must say Barry I was an avid 1/48 builder, until a client wanted 1/32, the detail is emense, and I havent looked back, there is only one thing to think about, Space


they do build in to large kits

Hi Mike


Absolutely terrific work. Great detail on the Tomcat and I love the figures and carrier deck base.


Truly inspirational stuff!


Cheers

AMAZING!! B| :x


That is one incredible build!!! Two thumbs up!!

 

[Ian M]

Erm          WOW.


So what is al the wiring about. We need to know what they are for and where you got them


That is going to be one hell of a display when finished. Is it your own or for a customer?

 

[chameleon 2009]

Hi Ian


this is a build for a customer, it built so it slides on to a shelf in his study, hence the bit cut out at the back, would love to keep it but I dont have the sapce for this.


there will be 3 more builds being added to it next year


the lights ate for all the nav lights, landing lights etc as I did on the tonka, and hawk, I work with Jenifer at JS minitures, she programs the lighting chip to match the video I send her of the actual plane ( see tonka see hawk ) this way I get the correct puls etc, its time consuming but worth it in the end, on the tonk I took it one stage further and made the cockpit dials light up

 

[Ian M]

Thanks for the reply. I remember your tonka build wonderful job.


i hope that we get to see more of this one as it progresses.

 

[colin m]

It looks great Mike. Paint is very effective.

 

[Guest]
