Felt like a little fun. This scale really save on resources since it uses so little glue & paint. I had to mix about 10 times the amount of paint i needed just to have enough to fill the brush. Marking then some filters to fade it all. Just need to take a little time for me eyes to uncross.

looking good! i too have dabbled in this scale but it's really too small

1/72 is too small for me

you're crazy

HEY I resemble that remark
Wait 'til you see the cable i made

You made a cable for it?!!!!

Is it remote controlled then?/

Mein Gott have you seen the size of their coins!

A tow cable mate.

Yup

That is 5 strands of wire twisted.

If I lost that in the carpet I would never find it again

I find it funny that Dragon includes PE grilles in their 1/144 kits while Tamiya still insists on forcing you to buy them separately - in every scale.

I've built a few of the 1/144 kits, they are fun little diversions. I have a Hetzer that is half finished - believe it or not, I used the hairspray technique for a winter wash on it. The amazing part is that it worked.

Here it is all done. A couple of days and about 4 cents worth of glue and paint. Maybe I will build that 1/144 P-47 now

Wow, that's really something. Great paint, considering the size. Just don't sneeze, or it may fly out the window...

Marc, absolutely superb build! Wish the pictures were a touch larger to really show off your efforts. Hmmm, you might need a scanning electron microscope to get a few close-up shots.

Cheers,

Alfa10, treat-geek... thanks guys.

I finished up the base for it. I got the ides from seeing a premade base that looked like this.

is it on a bottle cap?

how did you weather it?

Unbelievible, beautiful paint job!

I was thinking the exact same thing Jon: Is that thing on a bottle lid?!

Its a great looking little diorama you got there Marc. Amazingly detailed for such a small scene.

Nice!

Okay okay, where'd ya buy that dang oversized penny???? I know better than that, you just want us to THINK it's 1/144, it's really 1/35th with a giant penny!

You just keep tellin yourself that mate. It'll stop you thinking how crazy Marc really is

Thanks guys... glad you like it.

The base is the top of a benefiber jar. Just a tad bigger than a a peanut butter jar but that woud work too.

And OK you got me...

That is really outstanding work!
