CaptGPFYour Star Wars builds are always amazing, Markus!

Markus Helmers AuthorThank you. This one was one of my first, nay, I think the first model I painted. Gave that away a long time ago. And with the others... I do usually take build pics but more often than not I have stuff around unfinished for a long time. I start a kit, then lose interest and start another, and at some point they bug me so I finish them in a day. That's usually the ones with less pics or no build pics at all. I do take them, but you know how it is going through your phone looking for specific pics taken a year or longer ago, it's a lengthy task. But I'm starting to do project folders on my PC now. And I kinda always want to make notes on paints used and mixing ratios and stuff but I'm not organized enough for that xD

Markus Helmers Author@CaptGPF I never really finished this one, so weird they did that blank panel with nothing on it. I know it's kinda dark in there but still...

Markus Helmers Author@Treehugger sorry for replying almost 2 years late lol, that flat thing is the kit part.

Markus Helmers Author@CaptGPF I only have one relatively small room that is both my office with workbench and "showroom" if you can call it that. It's a mess most of the times, but I'm working on completing it. But hey, an album with finished builds in their natural habitat is not a bad idea, actually.

AtomschlumpfGefällt mir sehr gut 👍 Das Weathering ist auch schön dezent, als wäre der Flieger schon etwas im Einsatz aber nicht vernachlässigt

Markus Helmers Author@Atomschlumpf: von diesem hier tatsächlich nicht mehr. Aber da mehr oder weniger der ganze Rumpf hohl ist kann man da eigentlich nichts falsch machen. Ich hab da glaub ich 8 oder 9 LEDs drin. Die runden Triebwerke jeweils eine, die oberen sind komplett Glasfaser mit je einer LED pro Seite und dann verschiedene Farben und blinker für das Cockpit. Die LEDs selbst sitzen alle unten in der "Nase".

Aaaannd that's about it. Calling him done for now, already got an R2 Toy to keep him company, that one still needs dirty...

Markus Helmers AuthorNot the most accurate but I've grown fond of it. And at the large 1:4 scale they make for really nice display pieces.

RobCool Look mit den LEDs. Ich überlege schon lange, mir dieses Modell bei eBay zu schießen. Geht teilweise für viel Geld über den Tisch. Deines sieht an der Seite etwas verzogen aus. Da bin ich direkt noch unsicherer. Wahrscheinlich wird es dann doch wohl irgendwann die 1/72 Bandai Version
10 October 2024, 11:36
Markus Helmers Author@Rob: hab da ne 10er auf Kleinanzeigen für bezahlt. Der Bandai ist nochmal ein ganzes Stück kleiner, und dieser ist echt schön nicht groß. Den Flügel hätte man mit heißem Wasser sicher noch richten können, hab es allerdings erst bemerkt als schon Farbe drauf war.

Markus Helmers AuthorFor now it's just a placeholder. The whole thing is already getting a bit crowded so not sure how well multiple birds would fit, hence the flamethrower idea. But that would be more difficult to light I guess. Will need to experiment a bit.
26 April 2024, 18:45
Markus Helmers AuthorSo, as of now I'm leaning more towards the flamethrower solution. The whistling birds only leave a very thin smoke trail with glowing tips. However the wires holding this would also have to be very thin yet be able to hold the fiber optics in place. Thin fibers don't carry a lot of light. This is especially true if you have to roughen the ends to allow for a bit of side glow while being wrapped in cotton. There's practically no light left unless the room is completely dark. Not exactly what I had in mind. Will have to study some YT vids of some of the modeling wizards that do explosions. Any recommendations welcome!
