Some people have lives - I don't. Latest scale creation:

[NeufUnSix]

Here is the latest project, a 1/48th FW190 with Luftwaffe pilot figure.  This is the first aircraft I've done in a looooong time. I will be doing more. Pretty much box stock, aside from some simple details - the wiring on the plane is copper wire, the seat harnesses are scratchbuilt from wine bottle foil and bits of bent wire for the buckles.

You know.....a few dozen more models....some stop motion video equipment and some firecrackers, and you could make a really nifty war movie.

[Buckethead]

He's the size of a penny, and he's got shifty, suspicious eyes.

Once again, your attention to detail is astounding.

[lethe]

He's thinking, "Once nobody's looking, I'm taking this here penny. This much copper must be worth a bunch!"

[NeufUnSix]

It was easier to paint him with shifty eyes than with centred pupils. I had to use a toothpick carved to a needle point, and my hands aren't nearly as steady as you would imagine. After a few screw ups I decided on the Stewie look.

[Porsche Monkey]

That is very good.  That takes some real talent.

...and my hands aren't nearly as steady as you would imagine.

Really? I'm thinking you have hands more steady than a surgeon. I used to have somewhat steady hands but now I've noticed that my hands shake pretty bad. If I just hold out my hand and stare at it I notice it starts to shake, let alone focusing on doing minute detail.

That's just the DT's. Have another drink/

Nutts I say.  That what you are NUTTS!!

Awesome work.

What kind of airbrush are you using?

[NeufUnSix]

I use a Badger 155 Anthem. Lets me go from super-fine to full blast without changing needles.

I've found that I unconsciously alter my breathing when I'm painting fine details - I slow my breaths, and hold when I'm making the strokes. I often smoke in the middle of a session as well to steady my nerves. But my hands still shake, so I have to hold the part in my left hand, then press my right hand against my cheek. My face is steadier than my hand

[Grampa]

we gotta put an end to this, before Adam hits you up to do an ABBA diorama.


awesome work 

[Rev. Millertime]

Beautifully done!

[zarn02]

once again, very cool.

[Oldfisti]

     Everytime you do one of these I have to keep reminding myself that I'm really looking at plastic scale models!
