Possibly old moulds that Italeri have acquired from somewhere.

Its a old Revell -> ESCI kit from the late 70s. I semi built the Revell mark 2 and was disappointed in how bad the body was but the little BDA was cool.

@Scrubb waiting with interest in how your Lancer comes out as Ive heard mixed reviews on Beemax kits and are really keen on their Delta S4

@Scrubb How'd you paint the 86?

Airbrush, can or brush?

Looks awesome.

 

Thanks! I surprised myself with how that turned out, actually lol.

I painted it using an airbrush with Tamiya Metallic Orange and 2k urethane clear for the clear coat.

Very good. Looking forward to pics of "rusty" car models. Will be interesting to see how you make the holes look realistic.

I've got a 59 Caddy coupe that I never started. I'm already looking at pics of abandoned ones to see where they crumble.

I just looked up images of that Shigeyuki Mizuno fella (or is it a company/group of bloody skilled artists?)

WOW. So many cool models.

My dream would be to combine model talents like that with model trains to maximum effect. Imagine a big model train setup , the likes of the Pendon museum etc, with trains rolling through scenes like what the above mentioned has created!

My nerdy video of pendon model railway (OMG! How fucking popular has my video been- its had 198 views in less than 2 years ....:cheers: eat that fucking project blinky! )

@yoeddynz, you should start building it, your shed's big enough. 

That set-up in your video is pretty cool, 203 views now.

Shigeyuki Mizuno is indeed a fellah and as you say, and a seriously skilled one.

I was thinking about the whole super realism thing having looked at some stuff on the model forum and I reckon we get more demanding as we get older.

As a kid you're happy to let your imagination fill in the gaps in your talent (or blank out the shag pile sticking through your train set rails). 

I think there's a ceiling to the realism, after that it's down to clever photography.

I'm not a train person but was certainly impressed with Rod Stewarts layout.

Thanks @locost_bryan, any ability I have is just practice and looking at that internet.

It's a fun, cheap, pastime though.

 

 

 

I have a few in the cupboard that I could have a crack at but I struggle for enthusiasm to do such things nowadays.  I'll assume the enthusiasm returns when you get a bit older.
