Recent Builds

Morning Everbody

Only jioned the excellent Finescale forum earlier in the week but thought you would like to see a few of my recent builds over the last couple of years. I’m not the fastest builder by any means as most of my build time is taken up with reference!

My main interest is colourful US Navy jets but i also have an interest in RAF anniversary jets.

Please be gentle!!

Be gentle? Are you being coy?

FREAKIN’ NICE WORK, man !!!

What % of the actual kit do you use?—I see a lot of scrtching and modifications on your builds…Very nice A-6 and Harrier…

Nive work! Love the Viking and A-6. Where those wing folds scratched built?

Nice work Marcus!! You definately have talent! Take it easy…Len

Stunning work, Marcus!!!

Be gentle??? What makes the back slaps softer? Those are gorgeous! I really love those wing folds and selective opened panels. First Class builds![Y]

BTW, welcome aboard. [snWcm] Of course now that you have shown the standards of your builds, you have set a pretty high bar for yourself here.[t$t]

Wow! what else can be said!? They look absolutely fantastic! I love the amount of work on the Viking and Intruder, they look like real show-stoppers, please keep the posts coming!

Marcus, You should just send these photos over to the editor so that he can just start putting them in the Reader Gallery. Beautiful work. Rick.

Wow! Outstanding work![Y] Welcome to the forums.

Nate

Wow, you’re too modest!

Fantastic looking stuff, I esp like the Gannet. Not something you see everyday.

Hi Guys

Many thanks for all your kind comments, much appreciated.

Yes A10 thats me over on Promodeller!!

The wing folds on the Intruder and Viking are from Paragon in the UK, and are superbly detailed and are a joy to work with.

I thoroughly enjoy opening up panels and scratch building various parts, thats probably why i only turn out a couple a year! As soon as i get time i will post some WIP pics of the builds i’m currently working on, they include a VF-41 ‘Black Aces’ F-14A Tomcat thats all but finished, an EE Lighting, and a Iraqi AF SU-25 Frogfoot.

Marcus [:)]

Would love to see them all! Especially the SU-25, it’s not a common plane and I love the look of it.

Josh

Marcus,

You have some nice builds! Please continue to share your work and welcome the the Forum!

Hi Marcus, I hope you are still using this forum. I have only just discovered it, but whilst browsing i saw your impeccable model of the RAF Tornado 029 from 9 Squadron. I actually worked on that very Aircraft and Shiny 2. I would like to ask if you would consider doing a second build of the 029 as a commission build or selling the one pictured. I was hoping if possible to get one to a scale of 1/72 scale. Can you, would you like to help?
