[Jupiter 2 Crash Diorama]

Great handy work! The lighting and effects set it off.

99% of my building is automotive, but when I need a break, I really like the Warhammer 40k kits to get a sci-fi fix. GREAT detailing in such small subjects. This one below stands 3" at the top of the stacks. I added "hoses" from the cockpit to the external tanks (not really visible), heated the right foot and bent the toes down to position it in a walking motion, and created the base using a Jif peanut butter lid, Games Workshop grass, and twigs and brick scraps from my yard. I also used a cotton swab to create the fire for the flamethrower, and the smoldering effect from the trees/grasses as well as the exhaust from the stacks. This was also my first experience utilizing oil paints/washes to bring out details. Other things I did was to add some clear red out of the "leaky" hydraulic hose on the right leg, and used an antiquing kit to create rust along with pastels and colored pencils. Thanks for looking.

Great styling! I love the white stealy tire and the dog dish caps. It completes the build and makes it stand out from the hundreds of others I've seen from this kit. Pat yourself on the back.

I've got this one in my stash that I picked up at a swap meet still sealed in the tin. Love this old funny car. Nice work on yours.

Nice work - thanks for posting.

How much of the work is paint vs decals.

Looks good!

 

Thanks. There's a mask between the yellow and black on the body. There are then decals that go over the mask line to show the messy line. The rest of the graphics are all decals.

I just finished this one. The kit from Revell is very simplistic, with no real fit issues. Decal work was intense on this one as they weren't pre-cut to conform to the car but manageable. Thumbs up to Scale Motor Sports for quality aftermarket decals. It was an enjoyable build with new challenges for me.
