Title: Pulp WIP, a plane, a Dame, a car [new Pics Feb 5]
Post by: Amalric on January 19, 2011, 01:20:05 AM
Here is my latest batch of WIP.
A 1/48 Testors PT-Ryan, a Pulp Dame & Bulldog, A Brigade Games Bulldog in hat & a 1925 Bugatti that will be converted into some pulpy goodness.

This last pic shows the Pulp Dame with an Artizan Thug to show the planes scale.

The plane was a sweet kit to put together with no real problems or flashing to deal with. The wing was one piece, perfect for kitbashing I would think. The only complicated part was putting in the wing wires, which I put in over scale for strength as this is a gaming piece after all that I will handle a lot whilst making airplane and dakka dakka noises. I also really love how perfefctly pulpy this plane looks. I just hope I dont screw up the painting.

I will post more [and not soooo blurry :?] pics as work progresses.
Thank you for looking,
Amalric

Ooh, with an open cockpit even, so figures can be in or out during the game.

Oh, I forgot to mention, the plane comes with the option of either regular wheels in the cool spats as I built it, or on a pair of floats to turn it into a seaplane. ;)

Well progress has been slow as I've been sick.
Having pneumonia really sucks.
Anyway here's what I've been able todo.

I added a tarp over the front seat as the aviatrix rarely flys with a passenger.

The start of painting, am going with a cream with Dark Green accent color scheme.

Heres the bugatti in the works.

First to drill out the rivits.

Now I have a kit.

Now with the tires off I've got to remove the rear wheel posts as I'm making a 3 wheeler.
(http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/1503/dscf0012b.jpg)
Now the posts are filed and filed with green stuff. When it dries I'll sand and start to paint.

Now for something completely different I threw together as I had some time left after greenstuffing the bugatti from bitz I've had laying around for too long.

Is it a summoning electro portal or something to recharge your robo-servant on?

VERY cool! Th plane looks like the one in that Jo, Zette and Jocko album 'Mr. Pump’s Legacy' by Hergé.

Interesting use of GW parts there for your transmat device, very nice, I see lots of steel and blue tesla arcing lights.

Not sure about the plane though, appreciate its a basecoat but could have benefited from an undercoat 'key' as most things do.

Cheers
