Looks great!

Spanjaard
excellent dynamic representation! beautiful models, i love it. how did you do the shoots?

Spanjaard
sea is pretty good too

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic!

Pepe
Fantastic job!!!

Greg Baker
Oh, very nice work! I love it!

gorby
Excellent diorama!

Ray Loch
excellent idea on the bullet streams, have not seen that technique before, looks great.

Villiers de Vos
Very dramatic and realistic. Very nice work.

CaptGPF
wow! Simply…. WOW!

Boris Grgic
Thank you all.
@ Spanjaard: tracers are two pieces of tiny elastic thread. I waited for paint to condense a bit and used toothpick to apply red and yellow paint on a thread. Water and fire are made of silicone sealant mixed with paint.

Spanjaard
thanks!

Greg Baker
I've used silicone to make both water and fire. Your efforts turned out awesome. Now you just need motors for the propellors and a couple of LED lights to make the fire crackle! 😉 I love the tracer bullets idea. I am likely to steal that one~

Alexander
Me too, lookking forward to the build.

Alexander Grivonev
watching

Spanjaard
I will certainly follow this one

CaptGPF
Ditto!

Villiers de Vos
Coming along nicely.

Doubtingmango
Looks good

Igor Zhuravlev
Now I'll have to do a vignette and glue the front gear. Not that I'm a big vignette master, much less a figure painter

Henry Ch.
Excellent

Rui S
I agree with Henry 👍

Doubtingmango
Excellent finish! The tail sitting got me too. I just added a little ball of ticky-tack to the front wheel and it keeps it standing up on its display table.

Bruce Huxtable
Superb paint finishes 👍

gorby
Lovely job!

J35J
Great work!👍🏻

CaptGPF
Beautiful! How did you solve the tail sitting problem? Did you fasten the nose wheel to the stand?

Alex K
Another Gorby-licious small-scale "weird" (we wouldn't want you any other way) creation... Definitely in! 👍

gorby
Welcome to the show Alex and thanks very much. 🙂
The buildy bit is nearly complete so, as usual I'm playing catch-up with the report. Hopefully another update tomorrow. 🙂

David Taylor
Back in.

Robert Podkoński
Another talent-show from gorby! Definitely in!

Jay Dubya
Front row seat, on the bleachers, please Gorby. I wouldn't want to crane my neck to see!

Ben M
🪑

gorby
Thanks for your interest mates. I hope not to disappoint. 🙂

John Hughes
Another build in the series "What's gorby up to now?" Be honest, though. The only reason you didn't have orange flares was that you couldn't get over the fence at the local airfield to steal a couple of windsocks!

Kesa Tiho
I dont understand anything thats going on but i hope your build turns out absolutely stunning

gorby
That made me laugh John. 😄
Kesa: I like to buildodd looking vehicles some of which are converted from standard kits. I looooove scratch building.
Thanks both for tagging along. 🙂

Kesa Tiho
Scale models can be converted? So like a F111 model could be fitted with a nuke even though the original model didnt have one?

gorby
Definitely Kesa, there is a whole range of aftermarket conversions you can buy or if you are feeling adventurous, some conversions are reasonably easy to scratch build yourself. I have a couple of drawers full of plastic sheet of various thickness and plastic and metal rods, tubes, strips etc. I once saw a fantastic large scale scratch build of a B17 build that used the plastic from yogurt pots as the skin.

Kesa Tiho
Woahhhhh

Kesa Tiho
I think i now have something to do over the summer now >:]

gorby
Excellent!
I found a link to the B17 I mentioned. It shows what is possible:

Kesa Tiho
Holy flying fudge that looks lovely

David Taylor
Hi Gorby.On the real truck there is a winch as a standard fit in the middle.

Spanjaard
amazing job my friend. not tobe missed, certainly
thanks for the link to that 1:20 B17, it is out of this world.....

gorby
Thanks David, that might have been the reason. 👍
Thanks Spanjaard. That B17 is one of the best scratch-builds I've ever seen - well beyond my ability. I think he sold it to a museum in the US.

Sy Bar
🍿, loving the progress s far 👍

gorby
Thanks Sy, hopefully another update soon. 🙂

Spanjaard
that B17 is certainly where it belongs!

gorby
New photos start at number 18.
I hope to complete the build today and hopefully take some photos in the next couple of days.
Thanks for tagging along. 👍

Spanjaard
lovely work on the tarp!

gorby
Thanks mate. 🙂

David Taylor
Looking at the pic Gorby the driver is reversing the truck back to install the engine.Probably a hand winch with a ratchet.

Jun Chung
very small but attractive vehicle ^^

gorby
Thanks mates. 🙂
You could be right David. In the photo the load isn't attached to the crane hook but a hoop on the jib, as you say, probably using a hand winch. I have three photos of the back of various versions of this vehicle and none of them shows anything which might be used to control the crane, so obviously I can't add what I don't see. Thanks for your comment. 👍

gorby
Charging ahead with my next build I nearly forgot to post the completed pics of this thing. Hope you like how it's turned out. 🙂

Robert Podkoński
Great! Fantastic job, Gorby!

Alex K
Congrats! 👍

CaptGPF
Wow Gorby! Your attention to detail + interesting subject matters are always a joy to watch! I love how you stepped us through the scratch build process and you approach to modeling - very much appreciated!

Sergej I

Romain Sablou
Picture 8 : I screw up riveting on the second wing. 😅 I was thinking that doubling the number of rivet lines was a good idea on this part of the wing, turned out it wasn't...
I used Tamiya Surfacer to cover everything and start again

Alberto
Very promising start, I'm in!

Fabien
Wow impressionnant. super beau boulot

Alec K
Thanks for the explanation. I thought maybe you were implementing some hight end stressed skin technique 🙂. Amazing work all around 👍

Great work so far, following

Gary Victory
A real pain doing the riveting but so satisfying once it's done. Lovely work Romain.

Romain Sablou
Thank you all for your interest ! This is my first attempt on riveting an all airplane, I wouldn't say it was painful, but rather a looong and sometime tiring job. Overall I really enjoyed the experience and the satisfation when highlighting the rivets with a black wash 👌

Jakub Fiala
Very nice work, so far. Riveting looks perfect 👍 I´ve just ordered a new release of Edugawa F/G Marauder, so i will look for some inspiration here.

Romain Sablou
Thanks ! Yes, this new release of the F/G version is great news for all Marauder fan 👌

Dietmar Bogatzki
Fantastic riveting job and also the wash 👍

Alec K
Outstanding progress 👍

Romain Sablou
Thanks guys, glad to finally paint something after all this preliminary work !

Neuling
Very good diorama and beautiful camouflage colors 👍

Stunningly beautiful! The folks at LAFB would be proud of this!

Mirko Römer
This turned out very nicely!

Dave Flitton
Thanks. The ESCI kit really gave me a hard time,

CaptGPF
Agree with. Mirko - you couldn't tell how hard it was to build based on the results!
