Quax portfolio (struggles)

[Kevthemodeller]

Mate you've been knocking great work out over the years I've been missing, too many for me to comment retrospectively. I'll start at the T55, lovely weathering, the fading is superb, the 1/144 Panthers excellent so small

[Quax]

thanks for the previous comments chaps.

Man I was like a IPMS judge at the grand nationals, I blew that pic up as much as I could and went over every detail inch by inch. I cannot see how Parkinsons has effected your painting skills at all. You must have been a right Picasso not long ago.

Well done

[Quax]

Thanks Digger much appreciated , I'm ok in the mornings but after that my 6Hz tremor takes over. Either way some of the microscopic bits are just impossible and I skip them, I'm fully with something that Stokesy said about not building specific tanks wherever I can, as I have a dread that someone will say (and you know the voice that goes with this ) "oh that can't be Wittman's command Tiger because its missing a 3rd hook on the left hand side of the turret..."

Yeah I know what you mean, the ones that suck the life out of the hobby.

[Kevthemodeller]

More excellent work Paul, superb up detailing and lovely figure work

[DRUMS01]

Great job! Looking close, I really like the rust on the exhaust, your zimmerit details, the shading on the clothing, and much, much more.

Keep up the inspiring work.

Thanks for the comments on the Jagdpanther, much appreciated!

Border JagdPanzer IV Ausf F L/48. I recommend this kit, it was a nice build

Some of the photos have the Black dog Jagdpanzer stowage kit which obviously is not included but the first photo is all from the box (except the zimmerit)















cheers

Nice finish.

[DRUMS01]

Love the ME 163 combo, keep up the wonderful and inspirational work!

[Stokesy44]

Beautiful work. The jet looks great but the trolley with all the weathering looks amazing.

How on earth they every persuaded pilots to fly that thing is beyond me. Flying deathtrap doesn't even come close!

thanks for your comments guys. I particularly wanted to say thank you to Stokesy for recommending (on another page) Pierre Clostermanns book "The Big Show" I'd never heard of it or him but I also recommend it to anyone with an interest in WW2 air ops, it is without doubt the best I've read so far of its type! I got it from evilbay for £3 delivered!!

as a bonus here's the 163 at Cosford






cheers

Paul

[digger303]

These 163's remind me of a bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but it does.

[DRUMS01]

If not a bumble bee, possibly a childs pull toy? but not a fighter aircraft.

And history does indeed repeat itself, remember the USAF Goblin?





Another aircraft the flew but one would wonder how.

Keep building Quax,.... keep building!

[Quax]

they were brave men!

Paul

[Tomcat64]

I've missed a few here - but love the Jagdpanther & PzIV L48, the stowage and figures set them both off brilliantly

And the paintwork on that Me163 is absolutely sublime - cracking work mate

[Kevthemodeller]

What a belter the 163 is the cammo and weathering are top draw Paul.

I just hope I can get my 190 to a similar standard, once I start it.

[Quax]

thanks for all the kind comments guys!

Tamiya He 163 Salamander 1/48th





cheers

[Kevthemodeller]

Another belter Paul looks like the one hanging in the IWM London, or it used to? Not been there for some years now.

[DRUMS01]

You sir are building up a wonderful portfolio...

[Tomcat64]

Yep that's another cracking result mate - super paintwork

[Quax]

Tamiya Mitsubishi Zero built for Biffords 50th Birthday bash!









Paul

[digger303]

Great addition to the display.

[Kevthemodeller]

Oh yes lovely Zero there Paul just the right level of weathering for a very early Zero
