Hi guys,
Stop the presses! I just finished two lil' 1/144 MIGs. Not the usual suspects for me, but I was bored with the same genres. I give you the Minicraft MIG-25 Foxbat and the Revell MIG-31 Foxhound in "sub-Braille scale". I'm sure they're full of things that I could have done better, but they look nice in the shelf...finished exclusively in Testor's Acrylics...
I did that pre-shading thing...
Finished pics....MIG 25
MIG 31
ANd both..
Hope you like 'em, guys. I don't normally get over here to the hangar, but I appreciate you looking in.
Hello Karl!
Those sure are cute! Sometimes the 1/144 can be very rewarding! Congratulations and thanks for sharing

Hey Karl, Wow! nice job on those teeny things, I thought 1/72 was small! Keep up the good work.
Max
Wow!!!!!
Chasing the ultimate build.

Now those are models, super nice job, thanks for the post and photos. Not toy like at all.

I love your little MiGs, man!!!
Hi Pawel, Max, seasick, Patrick, and Tim;
Thanks for the kind words! Certainly these were quite a departure for me but fun for sure. I may even be tempted to try that MIG 25 in 1/72....I love the looks of that thing.. :)Your comments are much appreciated!
Great looking Migs Karl, hard to believe they are 1/144 scale. Hope to see more of your work here in the hangar!!

Thanks, Eric! I may get around to that 1/72 Foxbat one of these days.
Mississippi, I don't think I'd go for an older plane unless it was a Stuka, perhaps. But that idea certainly sounds right up my alley. Thanks for the comment and suggestion!
WOW. I thought my little Mustang was pretty cool... til now. lol
Those are amazing, Karl.
I've got a 144 Phantom that I may have to put together soon because of this awesomeness right here. :)

KArl, Nice work with the pre-shading, looks about right for a Russian plane. If you are building a Stuka, build one of the ones with the monster cannon under the wings, I forget the model number. Or build the Henschel 129, with the really monster cannon under the fuselage. Thanks for sharing.
John
Wow! Fantastic work on such a micro-scale!

Let me check my calender... this isn't April Fool's Day!?!!
Seriously nice work there Karl. Really like the pre-shading, not sure I'd have a steady enough hand to get it right in that scale.
Have you thought about using your weathering techniques to build a plane rusting away in an aircraft 'boneyard'?

Hey, thanks again everyone for the nice comments and suggestions. I really appreciate it!
I'm currently working on a car, but if I get back to an airplane any time soon, I'll try to blog it here.
I really appreciate the nice compliments.
Impressive sir, love your work
Thank you, sir! :)
Amazing Work. Must have used Magic to get that fine of preshading lines in that scale. Holy Moly

Nice, fine work Karl,

Bossman Nice, fine work Karl, I that scale - I think they are referred to as "MiGlets" Chris
I'd like to see that 1/72nd scale Foxbat...
Gorgeous models! By the way, I saw you had brought "Lair of the Rust Bunnies" to the IPMS Nationals; I saw it online.
