Here's the Gatchaman Godphoenix. Scale is unknown, but is is at about 70% of the original model.
I liked the build, nice parts and shapes. Inventive way of making the air inlets. Result is pretty decent but this just was for fun and I didn't really intended this one to be meticulous. It's all paper apart from the deck dome, which is heat-shaped transparent plastic.
Here I am, a month from 42 and I am doing a plane from a kid's cartoon show from the seventies... |
More after the jump.
The bottom side. Two observation domes (I think they are) and two downward-facing jet engines behind louvres. |
Lots of rounded, curved edges. I used knitting needles to get them round. |
Next project already is on the way, I started intensive research. Most of it will be found on Paper Modelers but I also will report here, of course.
Until next time!
Super gedaan hoor, leuk even iets anders. Alleen jammer dat op de derde foto de oranje punt wat "slordig gekleurd " is maar verder....ontzettend leuk!
ReplyDeleteYes, There are some less tidy parts on the model, I know. I never intended it to be a show model anyway, I just wanted to build something else than a rocket. The part you talk about, the red point on the ribbed structure at the nose is about 5 mm in diameter. It originally didn't fit well over that ribbed structure, it left an open space underneath which I filled up. The corrections with coloured pencil were not as tidy as they should be...
ReplyDeleteOh well.
