Yes, I am crazy
« on: January 12, 2014, 07:49:01 AM »
This is what happens when you're at home sick and bored.
Any suggestions on a paint scheme? I need decals for this one.

Crazy is an understatement Stan  ;)  Are you going to rig this model and I expect to see spoked wheels as well.... :)

It's 33mm nose to rudder. Maybe someone can do the scale conversion for me.

I have an idea on painting lozenges, but I had rather not.The struts are going to be fun.Maybe I didn't think this through enough.

1/160 or more ??? Courage my friend. Being a little bit crazy will certainly help!

 As 160th scale is the same as model railroad N scale, you can easily find a plastic kit of a building structure plus figures for a diorama.

Des.

And I trust you'll be drilling out the gun barrels?

At a time when we have an arms race towards bigger and bigger plastic models how amazing to see this work, Stan. My French friends would say chapeau! by way of expressing congratulations.

Best wishes

You must be bored….. and are you sure that the bronchitis medication is only messing you? Never mind, you have seen what some can do in 1/72 scale so 1/160 should not present too many more problems - after all nobody will be able to see the finest details, you can either tell people to imagine that they are there or go for the Emperor's clothes trick.
