Inspirational images of a temple in Cambodia "devoured" by the roots of those wonderful giant trees... We will try to reproduce it...

Very preliminary sketch of the Phantom and temple scene... It is obvious that my skills as an artist are even worse than those of a modeler... ha, ha...

I started with some "Asian" figures bought on Aliexpress. They came in copper colour and I gave them a coat of primer and a grey base. Some oils and for now nothing else until the scene was set up... I apologize for the lack of historical or religious rigor (I'm mixing Hindu, Buddhist and Chinese figures... a real sacrilege), it's a simple modelling exercise.

Although we are going to work in 1/144 scale and nothing will be visible, I cannot resist detailing the cockpit even minimally.

To give the Phantom a bit of interest I have scratch-worked the interior of the plane, engine and various pipes...

Painting and first aging with oils. There will be later layers with pigments as I build the scene.
I have also messed around with the ejection seat, trying to carve it more so that it is a visual element that stands out in the whole.

Album info

In this project I intend to represent a downed F4 Phantom in the jungle next to a temple. Probably the one in My Son (Viet Nam)
I apologize in advance for mixing Buddhist, Hindu and Chinese figures. I know I am not rigorous with history but in this case it is more a game than a historically accurate model.
