The Madhatter Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Greetings everyone Whilst I continue to wait for more hex rod from the only place in Melbourne who appears to stock it, I thought I would do a quick build. Well, OK, the building was quick but the masking took 4 full days. I loved the scheme on this when I saw it for the first time online a couple of months ago, so I thought I would have a crack I think it turned out alright. It looks like it's supposed too, so I can't complain. It won't win any competitions, but I don't mind. Feel free to lay down any constructive feedback Thanks for looking MH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
White Wolf Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Super build of one of my favourite AC schemes! The masking must have been a torture but looks like it was well worth it! :thumbsup:/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan Hothersall Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Nice job, but that scheme looks like a nightmare to mask. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zark Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 OOOooooooooo!!!!...it looks great, and dont mention "quick" built again, is an embarrassment for my models..."long" built "agony" !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChippyWho Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 What's the secret? How do you 'quick build' guys manage to bend the very fabric of time itself to your whim?! I HAVE to know! I'm starting from the 'universe as a wave function' theory (Laura Mersini-Houghton) -maybe it's possible to 'surf' the wave to where/when you want to be...? Am I getting close? Alas, only to a Section 2 under the Mental Health Act! What to say? It's a Flanker . It's a Madhatter work . It looks STUNNING :wub: !!! Am I dreaming this, or did you build another Su-33D in a hypothetical Arctic Bandit scheme a while back? That was a retina-ripper too. "WHY ISN'T THIS GUY WORKING FOR ME?!!"

The Madhatter Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Where did you get the decals from? Thanks Ray! Glad to see your still kicking about the boards :) The decals came with the kit. It's from Hasegawa's range of Ace Combat Aircraft. I only bought I because it's a splinter camo ;) What's the secret?

"WHY ISN'T THIS GUY WORKING FOR ME?!!" LOL - I love your humor!!! Ahhh....quick aye? Well, I guess for me it was.. good memory too - I did that WIF scheme a couple of years ago now. It sits hidden on the bottom shelf of the display case. No reason for that other than confinement restrictions Thanks to everyone who's commented - I appreciate the posts MH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Rock solid build. Just an outstanding complex camo paint scheme. It's really quite well done. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Madhatter Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 I quite agree there Chippy - thank you Diego - coming from the paint master himself, that's very flattering :) Of course, thanks to Nick and Joel for taking the time to post a comment as well. I've recommenced the BSG Galactica I started a couple of years ago - time to finish it I think! MH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
