Thanks a lot Sir T

for those wandering about this kind of pole the Venom is sitting. There is a Venom in the UK put quite that way:

Well I never. You learn something every day. I do like your Venom btw

That is a really excellent diorama Martin, very imaginative and very well executed.

Thanks Toby and Thanks Shaun

This is one from the dark corner of doom. I started this in summer 2013 and it sat there for a year now.

I'm talking of Revell's 1/72 Sunseeker Predator



This was the state when I left it last year





This tape is on there for more than a year I wonder how it will come off ... haven't tried yet

and yep, I also started a base for it








So last week I grabed it from the dark corner and started to smear some paint on to the base



Well at the moment it's more like painting a picture than scale modelling. This base is damn huge, 80x40cm, really don't know what I thought when I started this.

to be continued ...

...beautiful

Nice start with the base.

Thanks Lambretta and Nigel!

Now that's not a subject you see being built on here very often Martin and hopefully the interior will be OK when the tape comes off. Great work with the seascape as well, it's good to see the stages that you have gone through.

Thanks Shaun. I've lifted some of the tape and it looks ok but I have to paint the furniture first so will see in the end.

The Predator is one I have been looking for for a while. Thinking putting some figures on it or turning it into a patrol craft.

Maybe I need 2?

yep get 2 Philip but its quite big. I'll put some figures on it as well which I'm still have to find.

I#ve done some painting on the water and ended to paint all white again - oh well ....

Well, it's going slow at the moment, most time I spend to smear paint onto that base and somehow it did get uglier with each coat, so I made it all white again and restarted it, now the water starts to look the way I wanted it, but still not sure.





The tape did come off pretty well but I have to do some corrections



and yep, I painted some furniture
