Afternoon Gents!

As the Winter night draw in I thought taht we could have a Thread devoted to 'Your Best Build'

The Idea being that you posta few shots and a few words about a build you consider your best. It maybe becuase it is your best or you just had a good memory of it or a dedication - it is your choice!

So please gents post away....

I will get mine up when I get home from work tonight

I think this has to be my best build, its not exactly brilliant but it was the first kit I ever pre shaded and used a weathering wash on the cockpit.

Its my accurate miniatures 48th scale Avenger flight 19



This was one of those models where I just sat back and admired it as I couldn't believe it came out as well as it did and more importantly it proved to me how easy these techniques can be.

Thats always been my own motto 'maximum effect, minimum effort'

Mine has to be this. I just loved everything about the build with this kit and I still enjoy looking at it now ...
...I can feel an Il-76 coming on

I haven't got a best build

Youve got to have something your quite proud of

I'm sure you have got something that you like Daz...

Anyway, this is mine...

To date anyway

That is one to be proud of James

I suppose this'll have to do:

Revell's 1/72nd F-14D VF-31 CAG bird "Roving Sands '97:

Nowt wrong with that Daz, top build there

Looks good Daz,

As i have said a few times before, your builds would improve two - three fold if you purchased a few sanding sponges. if you want a few i can post you a couple...

Other than looks good.
Shaun,

One to be proud of, was a bit disapponted that the canopy got broke at the nationals at the weekend. I'm sure it will be easily fixed one i get it back...

Mmmm, I think I would have to go with my Hellenic RF-4E Phantom, there's just something about the SEA scheme that edges it before the F-4E-AUP and F16D.

Guys these are all cracking!! Im still haveing internet Issue but will get mine up soon!

Here's mine. My Bucc that I did for the last competition. Not only do I really like the model it has made me fall in love with the Brick.





Hopefully my next one after the my Avenger for the competition (still need to make a thread for it) will be better

A tough one but my Canberra probably just edges it - main reason was the camo came out just as I wanted it and it was my first play with pastel post shading

That is stunning

cheers Shaun

No worries,
I just hope I can do mine as much justice as yours

Agree with Shaun that Canberra is the bees! Top build mate!

Thanks again.........

If not the Canberra I would have plummed for my most enjoyable build which was this conversion - 1/48 Omani Jaguar

For me it had to be the `Ivan` Phantom. Just really enjoyed making this and the first time I had tried `shading` different panels for that rebuilt look. Turned out well in the end I thought.
