Shelf of Doom GB II - 2018

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!!

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.

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

 

 

Figure looks great!

The decals ar AM from Aztec models.

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

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 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?

Great job Griffin!

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

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

Nice, i like where your going with the scene.

Griffin,

Fantastic job on the figure!

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.

 

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

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

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.

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

John

@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. 

Griffin, i love it. Really well done and a great little scene.

Nick, thats come out great. I like it.

Nick that Wildcat is terrific! Thanks for the props guys 

Griffin that diorama as awesome! Not sure how in the world you get the figures looking that real but bravo! The head scarf really turned out well.

Nick the Wildcat is stunning! The effects turned out really well nicely done!

Hey Nick, your Wildcat looks fantastic. I think the weathering really makes it work. I've always been really interested in Operation Torch, and it had specific marking for allied aircraft too, and colourful Vichy French aircraft too. In my opinion, it would be a great subject for a GB.

Thank you for being an integral part of this GB, your contribution has been both interesting and excellent. I've updated page one.

We've now knocked 3 models of the Shelf of Dooooooooooom ! 

Cheers

Tony

Falconmod thank you it was an older kit I couldnt save the kit decals oh well..

hogfanfs I used master touch oil paints for the wash and brown and black chalks for the exhaust / gun port stains.

Bish many thanks to you sir.

Griffin thank you great job on that diao.

Jacknewbill  thank you I appreciate it.

Taxtp many thanks . I do have a few more on the shelf. I need to wrap up some stuff be before they get on the shelf.

Got the missiles and bombs attached to the crusader,  now to finish up that resin ejection seat!

John

Looks real nice John.

John,

The F-8 looks really sweet!

the last of the gun fighters.. looking good John

John that F8 looks great. Great paint, decals and weathering. The armaments and stance make it look very mean. That was a good looking jet. Is that circa the Vietnam era?
