Falklands/Malvinas War 30th Anniversary GB

That looks like a great piece jere, nicely done

Hi there guys,

Before enything else I want to wish say Merry Christmas to all!!! (a little lat, but who cares LOL)

Here are a couple of pics of my finished SUE, I still have to made a missing antenna but I´m wating for a friend who have th original part so I can copy it.

The colour is more or less right I belive LOL.

I´m now stariting my second build for th gropur, a 1/48 Learjet 35, I will post some pics soon.

best wishes to all!

Jere

ps: grea work on the pucara Bondo!

The surgery seems to be coming along nicely there. Nice work on the fuel tank.

Great Puca, Bondoman.

You catch the right color. I enjoy.

My build is going slowly

The cirgury I was doing on the airfix figure did not go well. I remenber I had a Hasegawa one much better.

Unfortunately the Academy kit does not bring the central tank :(

I tried to use a MK bomb 1:48 and after a few cuts I think I reach the real aspect.

Merry Xmas to all!   :lol:

Sorry for you loss bondoman , best wishes for the new year.

Nice great pucara 

Lovely looking Pucara, i do like this aircraft.

vance is in charge of pictures. I am sure he will add it as soon as he gets on.

What C-130 kit is are you building.

I'm looking forward to the New Year as well....this one was terrible as I lost my father-in-law on February 14th.

First, Bish please put up one of these on the finished page. I did get the rest done but have not had a moment to take her outside and stage a shot.

I will be tearing into that C-130 next. RAF this time around.

This has been a great GB. I am especially glad that we made friends with each other across the oceans, from all sides. I've known Jeremias for a bit, and all of the rest of you blokes have been a joy.

Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Feliz Natal and let's all pray for peace in the New Year.

No, me neither. I was a bit busy doing a few other things. I will be diveing straight into the Chinook as soon as i get back to camp in 2 weeks.

Hey gang - haven't forgotten about you, just trying to squeeze too many things into the hours I have - ahhhh the holidays! Also fighting off a nasty cold. Talk to you all soon,

Thanx El_Jere but i'm far to be a speed builder lots of people in the forum finished in two month the same number that i finish in a year, LOL

Waiting for the finished SUE

Great work guys!

Bsyamato, the finished Harier looks great! I like it, you are a fast builder my friend!

Azorean, I also like te look of the water for th base. What your diorama will be about?

Mochilote, watcjh out with that gun! Looks almost real LOL

bst regards to all

Jere

ps: I will post pictures of the finished SUE this weekend

thanx bish  

actually finished about this GB, only follow for now if i don't get some new matching kit before the end

Azorean I rather like the look of that water. Though to me it looks more like its raining into the sea rather than choppy waters, but a nice attempt. So would i be right in assuming you will have the SUE flying low over the water.

bsyamato Nice job on the Harrier. Love those outside pics. Good build there mate

No Bsy, just a reference. LOL

I wish it was my work... LOL

Mochilote

Thanks Azorean to consider the worth of my work. I really appreciate it.

Now, I'm struggling with the FAP it is going to carry.

This is the reference or your work?

LOL i replaced the weapons with simulacres to avoid troubles Vance

Thanks Azorean to consider the worth of my work. I really appreciate it.

Now, I'm struggling with the FAP it is going to carry.

bsyamato

 

ps.. the only empty space to put the gr3 was near the sue

uh-oh, that just looks like trouble waiting to happen!!

Good choice Stik and welcome back

Azorean nice try on the water, waiting to see the other result

Final gr3 pictures

that's all for the GR3

ps.. the only empty space to put the gr3 was near the sue

I forgot to mention Micholote work.

I'm speechless with the realism of the figure. I can not wait to see it finished.

Stickpusher,

Will be nice to see some Mirages here. Looking forward to see that.

Meanwhile I started to build the base for my SUE´s diorama.

Paint and Silicone glue

The idea is to try to create the choppy waters of the South Atlantic. But the end result does not convince me.

I will try other way...

Well I have cleared up several of my backlog builds and am about ready to commence on my build for this GB. Now I look at the roster and I see lots of Brit builds, and only a few Argie. And of the Argies many are Super Etendards. So I am gonna leave my Sue as an alternate/secondary build here and switch to an argentine Mirage IIIEA, 148, by ESCI. If that is ok with the powers that be? I dont see any Mirages, Daggers, or Skyhawks here.

Mochilote

Thanks to all of you!!!

Bsyamato, just busts; I don't know why, but I really enjoy making them. Maybe because I consider that the most important part in a figure is its face; there you can print the emotions, the intentions, what the subject wants to expres.

..

the inverse of me with scrach figure my skill on faces are a little bad, also thanx for comments and my compliments for the golds post some picture in the figure section

and i can drink with you others my first completed GB

Thanks to all of you!!!

Vance, Buenos Aires was great. I brought home a couple of gold medals, five silver and one brass medal. Not bad... (open system..., I don't like it).

Jere, I paint my busts almost exclusively with acrylics.

Hey Bsyamato, your harrier is looking really great. I really like it.

Thanx for cooments harrier is near to finish, think more progress picture are useless . Left only to glue main gear, front amd side gear are glued, then after modding the front gear i'm sure best way to but all wheels down is to adapt the main/central gear to others. pilons, nozzles etc also on.

Counting to finish in two days and take some good finished pictures

Nice looking harrier, coming along well.

I am rather likeing the look of the SUE and the Pucara. Not my usual subject areas but i think they would be nice to add to the collection for something different to build.

Thanx, nice start on the academy sue

it's actually a rare kit and this is the third on the forum in less than a year

Great job on the Harrier, Bsyamato.

The wash gives another life on the model.

Well my second built is on.

Here the first advances.

I need to gain space at the cockpit to put the figure. Is an Airfix one with some sanding to change the profile of the helmet. I will cut the right arm to make another one in a different position. Let´s see if he survives the surgery...

Panel lining wash almost done

The canopy mods
