2005-08-14 IG Peregrine Falcon
Time flies when filled with work.
It has been about a month since I put in a late night of modeling. I have not however forgotten what I was doing pulling down my model every now and then to reflect on my goal and plan out my evening. I have finally received the final part for my IG Dread Apex. Please go and check it out: http://mrskinner-igdread.blogspot.com/. I hopefully will be basing it this week and dry brushing through the weekend.
I first started on an idea I had while removing all the foam furniture protectors for cleaning carpets. I am going to build a base with a rock pillar and the Falcon skirting the column. I also wanted to use the ailerons and rudder controls. Thus I cut out the two rear ailerons. Not pictured was how I glued them back into place.
I have also finished attaching an outrigger assembly to one help hold the wing and two hold each an antitank missile taken from the Imperial guard Tank Accessory Sprue.
I have cut my wings from a 2mm thick piece of plastic card. I would have liked 1mm with some thin additional material for armor but the local Hobby Town did not have any, shucks. I will have to work on the ailerons for the main wing later I plan to finish the APEX first.
