Over a pile of rocks. Could be anywhere in the 'stans.

Hi Paul, Rocks were considered as part of the equation at one point........INCOMING!

Thanks Chris, at this point I just want it out of the way.......will soldier on to completion if it don't tie knots in me tail!!

 

[Lee Drennen]

I understand where your coming from but it was a great Camo job. Bring on the next Rick H. Subject to build

 

[Mini Me]

Landing gear and ordnance in place......need to add a couple of fragile details and paint them. After that we are looking at a gloss coat where the decals will sit.........and the torture never stops I borrowed one of Pete's helpers to keep this build moving along.

[Lee Drennen]

I’m glad you didn’t bin it. Such beautiful Camo job on this Rick. I would hate to see it go. Looks great

Thanks Guys, I'm happy to hear that you are enjoying this little "beast"........Kevin is there with his HEAT Gun just in case things don't go well. I've just hit it with a gloss coat so will get decals on it later today or tomorrow.

 

[Allen Dewire]

That is really cool Rick. Armaments looking good and I too am glad you didn't bin it. I do have a question though.....In which store in Haight Ashbury did you buy the masks for it in 1967???.............Bring it on home now Buddy!!!

Peace um, Prost
Allen

Now that you mention it Allen, it does look a little "flower power" psycho!!

Looking superb there Rick,I love it!!
Just a thought though.....That Dark Green behind the Cockpit,in the last pic,looks VERY much like a Gecko`s "Paw" print!! ....
... I do love my Lizards
Excellent build though Buddy... Cracking work
Andy

 

[Mini Me]

Leap'n Lizards!!!......I see it now! That was purely accidental, as I just rolled me "Silly Putty" out as flat as I could on the cutting board and away I went with the hobby knife. Funny how things turn out Andy.

 

[Allen Dewire]

But really nice work on this tiny thang all the same my friend..........

Maybe that’s why I like it Man

Hi Rick
That's looking fine. Love the 'gecko paw print' camo. All the positive comments show your decision to continue was the right one. The decals will really bring this to life.

This has turned out excellent Rick. Even more so considering the scale!
