Humor in modelling.
Well, I have finally succeeded in learning how to post pics again after the photoucket fiasco so I thought I'd start posting pics of builds since then. This one is a result of a club member trading the Pegasus kit of the creature from mars to me for an armor kit I didn't have immediate plans for. It is a heavy vinyl figure and it stayed on the shelf for a while until I decided to build it for a contest and enter in the sci-fi class. I didn't want to just enter it by itself but couldn't decide just what to do with it. Happened to go to an R/C club fly-in and saw one of the members with a "flying saucer" model. It flew pretty well and gave everyone a good laugh. That was it. I'd reverse the process. Have the creature flying a WWI or WWII plane. Well, here are the results.

1/2 the base is part scale RR gravel glued to the base and sprayed with various shades of Vallejo red for the surface of mars. The other 1/2 is black sand paper for the runway.
Repositioned the arms using hot water and spray painted the figure in a combination of red and orange for a sort of wierd color. Painted the "blood vessels by hand in a dark blue. Scratch built the R/C unit and positioned the arms to hold the unit. The Spad is a Bachman model train item taken apart and repainted. Same with the P-51. My wife shrunk a pic of mars off the internet and the easel was a no brainer.

Placed the Spad on a thin wire into a drilled hole in the base for taking off.

It's actually a very simple model to put together. Only the head, arms and eye section. The rest took only a couple of days mostly letting glue and paint dry.
Enjoy.

I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.
