Moon Puppy's Voo Doo

[Moon Puppy]

I sent in email and paypal just to post this here.

I know this is no contest winner cause it doesn't stand a chance against some of these builds going on here!

Here's my F101 Voo Doo I did at Swanny's Century Series group build last year.

F101 Voo Doo
1:48
Revelle

Category: All Open


This is the Monogram/Revelle F101 Voo Doo, mostly out of box. Can't really complain about the kit other than very cumbersome assembly of the wing roots.

Used the Legends Avionics bay to show the open panels up front. Reskinned the burners because of a really nasty seam that ran the length of the afterburners.

Let's see...oh yeah, I double masked the canopy, masked the inside and out, really gives it the depth when you look and see the black seal in the canopy then the interior color and exterior color.

Things I learned on this build, your weather eye is not calibrated to the camera. When I weathered this I thought it was way overdone. but when I looked at the pictures and got feed back from folks it really looks weathered, not to bad but well used.








I sort of blended in several shades of AlcladII for an effect, just testing to see how it would look in anticipation of an upcoming NMF build I'm going to do. Trying a little high shine, medium and dirty look of the metal.



And here we are with a clear shot of the open avionics bay


Hope this is proper to post this here, if not, guys just delete it, that's cool. Just wanted to contribute something to the contest and join the fun y'all are having. ;D

Thanks Norm, you're kind.

Don't take it as putting myself down, I"m being realistic. I know a good number of the folks in competition here!

Looks good to me Pup! Oddly enough we had a judging clinic at our club last night and you know what I learned? First, even seemingly flawless models have flaws. And second, aesthetics count for a lot.

I'm not the greatest builder either and I don't really do contests to compete. I do contests so that other people can enjoy my work and to enjoy the company of other modelers. Not to mention I'd get nothing done if it wasn't for a deadline.

Thanks Jim. Honestly I have only entered in one in person show and a couple of online ones. The first online was a speed build in a week and I won a Sotar 20/20 airbrush...haven't won one since, figured with a win like that, I peaked. ;D

I'm with you bub, I build for me.

[Chiefpettyofficer]

Yes, I agree! That bird is superb. Great Job!!

 

[Eastrock]

how can you say you don't stand a chance? with a Build this one, I do agree with the guys its superb!!!

 

[Solander]

I agree with others, the model does look really good. The overall level of details both on the hull and in all the open hatches is fascinating.

 

[Moon Puppy]

Ah shucks y'all.... :

That's really good mate! That's a really tough kit too. I've been working on mine off and on for a long time.
Well done!

 

[MilitaryAircraft101]

[Moon Puppy]

That's really good mate! That's a really tough kit too. I've been working on mine off and on for a long time.
Well done!

Well here's my build thread from over at Swanny's Models. forgive the pointless banter back and forth, we did actually discuss the Voo Doo after all the Mel Brook movie references.

 

[Grendels]

It is a nice build. I agree with the others!

 

[TRM]

Great job Pup! I like the contrasts you achieved. You should be proud, well done!! ;D
