painted resin deck tractors, and work in creating cockpits for a bunch of A-7 and A-6 for the upcoming 1/350 USS Nimitz project.

One of 2 Trumpeter aircraft carriers i have in semi finished state for too long and trying to come up with something original for them i stumble in this:A picture of a carrier crossing the turquoise colored sea with just the yellow sand dunes against as a backdrop.But then i saw the new Peace bridge as they call it and after a bit of digging i found the dimensions of the pylons , width , height , and distances in between them, so now i got another crazy idea in my head that i know sooner or later i will have to materialize it.My aim will be to create a dio with the carrier passing below the bridge , so for that i will have to built the bridge as well.This will give a good sense of just how massive both structures are .The bridge and the aircraft carrier.

Just a tree stump am making from balsa wood , to complement the figure .I still havent decided of the exact positioning  of it.

Another crazy idea is that i would like to recreate one of the 2 atomic test shots in Bikini island by the US .Namely the Baker shot  which was done underwater The GHQ metal war-gaming ships due to their tiny size (1/2400) but also the very good quality they have are the only choice.After i done some rough calculations and after i found some info on the net about the size of the mushroom cloud and the composition and positioning of the target fleet ,  i estimate the width of the column to be around 25-30 cm and the overall height around 76cm and thats in 1/2400 scale!!. The width of the top cloud should be around 85cm  at the particular moment in this picture.Well as i said it is a crazy idea.

Just a crazy idea i had to recreate something like that in 1/700.The landmark building could be anything famous enough , but it is hard to get a figurine of these buildings in that scale that are descent enough .

My first figure , which happens to be at 120mm .This time i took a few hours as a break from ship building in order to have a go at the face and hands.I think i have to be satisfied with the result for a first try.The strong lighting in the pictures takes away a lot of the mood of the figure , but it is necessary to show progress as clear as possible. I still haven't thought about the base , but i will go for something simple and realistic as possible.

The 1/350 Q.E amsot done now.A lot of rust visible (almost certainly more than in real life) but this was a test for me .
