International Scale Modeller

Yep that does it, three against so we are going back to grey.
Glad I test sprayed the tank and not the entire base

Getting there mate

Continuing with Pilot Humpty..... I have cut off his head and pinned his back and neck to he can fit into an angled chair on the grass.
I am using the kit's pilot chair as the base for an armchair he will be exhaustedly resting in


This is more of a serious egg plane display than my silly ones in the past, oh well

Great work

Thanks bud, but lonely out here

Humpty has his pants and head back on


He is going to sit exhausted in a chair


Which I am making now

He looks properly chilled out. Like the look of the Spit with the camo on too

Thank you my friend, it is ok but a little too clean and shiny.
I think I am going to weather the snot out of her

Just about the cutest Spit I've seen. Now go and get it all dirty.

Ha ha, Will awesome to see you here slumming with me....and I just got her all nice and dirty

Decals are on and time to heavy weather. Ok this is a bit new for me.
Some aluminum dry brush for chipping/wear; Ak pigments for exhaust stains and then cotton buds streamed across all the surfaces with pigment; Ultimate light dirt rubbed and pulled along the flight lines and onto the wheels and such.
She is the dirtiest bird I have ever done...see what you think

Good to see that Humpty is Whole again.
It's definitely looking the part, I love the scratch-built beach chair.
Is that a Beer in Humpty's hard, or is that just my wishful thinking?
Its a great looking kit, I've folded and ordered one myself - plus the Me109 from Tiger as well.

He is holding his gloves
Good for you to order a couple of these,they are quite fun and the fitment is good

So I see you are better than all the kings horses and all the kings men.
Very nice work indeed.

Ha ha, good one...
Though his neck looks a smidge hyperextended or broken

Plane is finished now, have to work on the figure and his chair
The base, grass and runway need to be sorted, but I hopefully have handle on all that lot
Hope the rest of the sparse 'eggers' get on with their builds

Well that's rattled along nicely - the Spit looks great, but really love the work you've done with Humpty and his chair

Hope you didn't shell out too much for the extra bits though

Being easy can be expensive

Still a little concerned about what happens if Humpty gets the call to Scramble!

"Scramble"

I see what you did there. Nice egg reference. Point of trivia, its assumed Humpty Dumpty was an egg as it is not mentioned in the rhyme......

Mind you, scrambling the fella may be problematical given at last count he hasn't got any arms! I know Bader managed it, but it might be a bridge too far for Flight Lieutenant Dumpty

Ya I think that gets you double egg groaner pun points.....and a beating

Flt Lt Humpty will soon have arms
He cannot fall out of his chair as he has a rod inserted in his, ummm, posterior portions

Sometimes you just have to take the whisk to make the eggstreme groaner points

Base is done
I have wrapped the sandpaper runway and the grass over the edge of plywood...gives a cool look
Waiting on my washes to dry on the figure

Will do may final photos tomorrow and then have time to wrap up the FERRARI

Congratulations Scott, it looks perfect.
