Soryu Asuka Langley lies in the snow under a christmas tree.
Hey, It's christmas season again! Ok, it's not but if you work on calendar for 2011 you've to take a december picture too.
Hope you like it - actual it's my first try with my new tilt and shift 90mm lense. Its totally awsome: Even with f6 you can get sharp from the head down to the legs. If you woundering about the figure: It's one of the model kit's I build and colored by myself. One of my better works ^^°
The air-landing "Helldiver" is built almost 100% out of the box - just some hydraulics were added inside of the opened air brakes on the lower legs, and the head received some hydraulic rams as added details.
Furthermore the cockpit hatch was with the pilot lifted high enough to have a look "out of the Labor's breast" - it's actually a 1:72 figure, but it's acceptable as a 1:60 Japanese person ;)
Painting was done with Tamiya Acrylics, and the kit slightly weathered/dusted.
The small diorama was built on a 8x8" base, with real wood pieces and real earth for the forest ground it is supposed to simulate. Additionally, some moss and foam leafs were used.
took a shot of the background a few months earlier. later I saw a model kit that was built by my friend, lit it properly, took a shot and then combined in photoshop.
One of my favorite kits as a kid was this jazzed up Hot Rod coffin carrying our old pal Count Dracula. It was called Dracula's Dragster and was produced by the Aurora Model Co in the 60's.
1:9 Halcyon Model Kit
This took way longer that I expected. Which seemed like a very straight forward assembly and easy paint, ended up as a very challenging and interesting kit.
I used a real tiny chain, since the molded one looked NOTHING like the movie prop. But overall, it's a very accurate model, I was surprised with the level of detail this guy has. My only complaint is his legs look kind of skinny... I'm not sure if Stallone's legs look like that, but they just seem a little off (just A LITTLE though, and this does not detract from the overall look)
Whatever you may think about the movie, you have to admit that the costume looks cool!
I found a very good deal for this guy.
I always wanted to own one of these kits!!
These are exact replicas from the original molds created by Stan Winston Studios (those maquettes originally created for Spielberg's approval and as reference for the 3D animators at ILM, I guess)
The model itself is HUGE, around 27" tall.
I'll post progress pics as often as I can.
Italeri Military Armed Pickup. Originaly this started as military kit, but I converted to civilian. Painted in matched Apple Green Factory color by custom mxing various Tamiya Acrylic paint. Wheels from Aoshima Hilux Lift up, tires from Tamiya1/32 4WD kit. Suspension is slightly raised to make it more realistic. Canvas top is scratch build using pla-plate and Tamiya Epoxy Putty, finiched in Dessert Yellow.
Tamiya 1/48 Vought F4U-1D "Corsair"
The instrument panel is the supplied decal. The side panels are painted with Alclad ALC304 Gloss Black Lacquer Base and spot painted different colors on switches and knobs.
On city patrol with the Patlabor force - including the AV-98 "Alphonse", character figures and an armored patrol car on a city street diorama.
I tried to capture the Ingram's size, but the angle is not that good..
