Shelf of Doom GB II - 2018

@Griffin, fantastic finish on this 113! And the figure tops it off perfectly. Great job!

@Nick, The wildcat looks spectacular! The weathering is really well done. 

She's a beauty!!  Might have to keep my eye out for a 1/48 tamiya wildcat at my LHS.

Griffin awesome job on the vehicle and figure !!

Here is my finished wildcat the AK paint is difinitley different to work with. This kit had its share of issues but its off the shelf of DDDOOOMMMM.

thanks again  all of you for your comments.

Really nice work Griffin.  I started doing figures for this exact reason - adding context and scale.  Well done.

That looks real Griffin. I agree that the base is effective for this. Congratulations on turnng a shelf queen into an excellent and interesting model.

I've updated page one, and thank you for being such a great contributor to this GB.

Cheers

Tony

Thanks guys! Well this one is done. The base is a little small but I needed to use it for something and it works for this scene. The Egyptian vulture is a little over the top but what the heck. I made that out of a Tamiya goose. Maybe it's his therapy pet. The guy is taking a picture of the script on the side of the M113. That's my story. Just to be clear I have zero support for Hezbollah. I just thought it would make an interesting subject and I had fun on this build. Thanks for having me and I look forward to seeing everyones builds.

 

Griffin,

Fantastic job on the figure!

Griffin25

Thanks guys! He is taking a pic with his phone. The title on the box is "Arab Rebel Shooting Home Video." 

 

Nice, i like where your going with the scene.

Looks really good Griffin, that figure will add sone life and colour to the whole thing.

I'm really pleased you've shown it here.

Cheers

Great job Griffin!

The Hezbollah guy is done. The shemagh, thanks for teaching me something Bish, was difficult but overall he came out ok. Next I'm going to put the M113 and the RPK guy on a base I made a few years ago then I'll be done with.... erie voice ..."Shelf of Dooooom". 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thats what we called them, but there are otehr names. We got issued green ones, prety essental bit of kit when driving armour.

I live the figure, thats really come out great. Is that a camera in his hand?

Griffin, that figures look very nice and i think you have done a great job on the shemagh. I looks just like one of the ones i have.

The Wildcat just gets better and better.

I have an Amati 1/10 bust somewhere in the stash that has similar headgear Griffin. FOr that reason I may never paint it :)

Cheers

Tony

Figure looks great!

The decals ar AM from Aztec models.

Steve. Holy cow the weathering on that Wildcat is super!

John. That Mirage kit comes with all those decal options? Wow. I thought they were am?

Bruce l. The type 4 looks great with the filter.

I'm still messing around with my Hezbollah guy. I've got the base colors on and some dry brushing. The headscarf is kicking my butt. I've done it 3 times. How the heck do people paint that sh$t??!  The box art is photoshoped! Lol

 

 

Wow that wildcat looks great!

Bish - I was set on doing VMFT-401, the US Marines aggressor in tan/brown/green.

After looking over the decal sheet there's another scheme from the same squadron in tricolor blues/grays like russian aircraft, so I'm on the fence.

hogfanfs thank you your tank is looking good!  the kfir is moving along also.

Griffin thank you Im using masters touch ivory black with a thin pointed brush.

taxtp thank you its a labor of love.

Bish awesome work on that dio.

jack hey its all good on my wildcat canopy between the mask and the ak interactive paint turned it in to a gummy mess in the brake fluid it went came out like new to start all over again.

 well i hope that covers every one. I fixed my cracked nozzle on my air brush Im back in the saddle. I dirty up the wildcat now back to masking that %*#*ing canopy!!

Hi Bish,

Magnificent work on the Ostwind dio, I think it's come up really well, and much better than having a damaged model on the shelf. COngrats on being the first to finish a build. I've updated page one. I've added your Tiger I and Schwimmwagen dio to the roster, please let me know if it's not right.

Hi Eric

Good to see you've started on the Hawk. I'd love to participate in or run a Matchbox GB at some stage.

Hi Bruce 

Your type 4 looks suitably toned down, I like that wash. What did you use for it, as I may use the same in future.

Hi Griffin

Your 113 complete with Ayatollah poster is looking authentic. I'm looking forward to seeing it in its completed state.

Hi John

What scale is your Esci Mirage ? I'm guessing 1/48. Anyway I've added it to the roster. Nice job on the paint for it and the egg plane.

Cheers

Tony

Bish

John, which decal option are you going for on the Kfir.

 

Yeah, John, lots of nice options on the decal sheet!

Cheers Bruce, and nice work with that filter, its come out really well.

Nice looking dio Bish, looking forward to seeing that Tiger.

 

Cheers Steve, and i am looking forward to getting the Tiger done as well. As shocking as it may sound, i don't have a completed Panzer VI of any kind on the shelf.

@JacknewbIII,

That was a lot of sanding, wow! But, the primer does look very smooth! Very nice recovery.

Lots of filling and sanding on the KFIR

Decals arrived, very nice set from Aztec Models

Thanks Jack, and that is coming along nicely, the effort is paying off.

Cheers Tony and yep, the new entry is spot on. Thanks again, this GB is just what i needed.

Looks pretty smooth once the primer is on it. Good job Jack.

Cheers

Tony
