Gorgeous models! By the way, I saw you had brought "Lair of the Rust Bunnies" to the IPMS Nationals; I saw it online.

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. Wink

Really well done Karl. Even in sub mini scale they still have a little size to them

Let me check my calender... this isn't April Fool's Day!?!! Tongue Tied

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'?

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.

I've got a 144 Phantom that I may have to put together soon because of this awesomeness right here. :)

Thanks, Eric! I may get around to that 1/72 Foxbat one of these days. Surprise

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!

Great looking Migs Karl, hard to believe they are 1/144 scale. Hope to see more of your work here in the hangar!!

Very nice , Karl! Hey, I have an idea for you, since you're normally into things with cannons, I'd love to see you tackle a B-25G with that l'il 75mm cannon! It's not just for tanks...

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! Yes

Baby MIGs...
Posted by the doog on Monday, September 19, 2016 4:53 PM

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". Big Smile 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. Big Smile
