1/72 Swordfish II

[Squee]

This is a build that i am pretty much finished with but would like to make a display for it.

Boxart:


WIP Progress:


Shaky preshading. Not the greatest. lol


It's supposed to have 4 cannons on the wings, so i used metal ipins for added detail.

Cockpit/Escape Ball thingy:



First Wash:

Weathering after some Tamiya weathering pastels:

And it basically sits now in my display case:


I still haven't put in the clear lenses for the lights. Hopefully i'll get to making a display for it soon.

C&C welcome!

Great kit and nicely done. I also made it some time ago and it's nice to see other peoples work and different approach to the topic.

I have one of these in my stash - I'll get to it one of these years. I really like what you've done here; the scarred surface detail looks great. I might just steal some inspiration from you

It's still not finished lol but go ahead Splashcoat! I tried to get it to look like the boxart. Cowboy Bebop is still to this day one of my favorite animes, and i'm really trying to do it justice. ;D

Really great weathering job, I can't wait to see the display you use! The paint job looks great, but I think the, long barreled weapon is a bit dark. But that's just a really small nit pick ;D When you say display, do you mean you'll give it a base as well? If so, I would recommend using acrylic boxes or a picture frame. Then again, a nice wooden base is effective too!

I'm actually going to try to make a small deck like on the bebop for it to be launching from. The picture is really dark but yea the gun is pretty dark. It's sprayed with Alclad Gunmetal.

Yeah! me too!

I suppose that while you were buldin´ the model, you were listening... "TANK" (AWESOME soundtrack).

;D ;D may I suggest next time you build an 1:1 scale model of FAYE VALENTINE ;D ;D er... let´s say "freestyle pose" ;D ;D

Very nice model, Squee...
