I beg to differ.... you still have your AWESOME talent Julien.

Did you back up any of your pics and info aside from your online photos? :confused

If ya didn't,.. I'll bet ya will from now on.

Now,.. get back on that horse and keep that great creative modeling talent going. B)

 

[MonsieurTox]

Hand, I will follow your advice until I get a new hard drive . I hope to get one this week .

Thanks Kurt .

Lucky that my ISD woudnt fallen too lol

Yes I have back up of all my pics of the ISD, the bad thing is that I lost personnal pics

Ok, I get my cam back so tomorrow I will put some new pics online .

 

[Hand Solo]

^ It's alright Tox. Most of the time really good things arise out of bad circumstances.

No worries.

 

[MonsieurTox]

I agree with your philosophy =)

 

[MonsieurTox]

As promised, the prog pics .

J as i said before, that thing is awesome, you really have been busy huh, im glad to see it and the wait has been so worth it, it really does look like the prop being built there bro, nice brim trenches too LOL. Dude you could teach me a thing or two.

 

[MonsieurTox]

I'm pretty sure oneday you will build an ISD too .
If you would build her at the same scale than mine, I could help you with a lot of details

 

[ralphee]

Me build a big ISD? man you give me too much credit lol, if ever i did go for building one bro, id tell my girlfriend it was your idea and thats the reason we have to get rid of some furniture to make room :lol

Julien...duuuuuuuuude.

Absolutely beautiful.

Now comes the hard part... staying focused on the project. Many have attempted the SD and most end up loosing the WILL to stick with it until completed. I have seen many that have let it sit in a closet, room or garage for years,..never getting back to it. They were NOWHERE NEAR as complete as yours is now. I know you have not demonstrated this type of behavior and I want you to know that I have great respect for the individuals that actually reach the TOP of the mountain they are climbing and FINISH their goal. KEEP ON THE MOVE MR. TOX. Don't let anything stand in your way,.. especially yourself. YOU ARE VERY LUCKY to have the talent you have demonstrated to everyone viewing.

That said,... you continue to do AMAZING work.

I look forward to seeing this beastie COMPLETE..

Keep up the GREAT work. :thumbsup :thumbsup

This thread needs a bump. Is this a modelling forum or what?

Tox....

FAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWK.

 

[ralphee]

[/b]

Good comment/question Bob.

I think these forums reinforce positive thinking for many (in today's harsh society). This is the reason so many post their own items,... for that positive burst they get from their fellow modelers. This is why this forum runs so fast and items get buried just as quickly, no matter how impressive they may be.

Tox is an AMAZING modeler. Of that we can ALL agree.

Can I get an AMEN on that?.. LOL. Sorry,.. the HOLY ROLLER jumped out. LOL.

 

[Hand Solo]

This is some very quality and advanced stuff. The work stands out. It's beyond the ordinary and deserves to be complimented and encouraged. :thumbsup

 

[darthgoat]

Absolutely incredible work so far.

 

[MonsieurTox]

Thanks guy .

I really appreciate your comments .

Thanks Lee, Hand, Kurt .

Get comments from you makes me blush .

I see only good comments, but if you think somethings are wrong or I'm on the bad way to do something, I have so many things to learn from you guys .

Regardings the progress...

Today I reinforced the internal structure, now it looks like the one of the real prop .

I put a 2" pvc pipe and I did the mounting points. Tomorrow I will do the stand.
There are 2 mounting points, one on the lower hull and one on the right brim trenches.

I have to buy more LED's, I have only 20 and it's not enough to light all the model...

When I started this project, I didn't how to do the mounting points (I suck with that lol), and I'm happy with the result .

I'll post some pics tomorrow .

 

[Robert McLain]

OH MY GOD. Your work is stunning. I'm getting that old feeling again, like I might want to try this again. The one I did was a learning experience for me...my first scratch/kitbashed model. Then Vos did his and really raised the level of detailing. Now seeing yours makes me REALLY want to learn from my mistakes.

Again, your work is amazing and I can't wait to see the finished product. Keep up the good work.

Robert

Thanks Bigvade .

That's my third attempt to build an ISD .

I build one when I was 10 yo from carboard she was about 80 cm length. I drilled wholes and put a bulb inside.
She get an horrible destiny... A friend and me put gasoil on it and put in fire lol Great memories . :angel

The second was a 90 cm ISD build from Balsawood but the proportions were off (I used the AMT ISD as reference :rolleyes ), I was 15 or 16 yo, don't remember.

And I discovered large styrene sheet . Wow, that was the beginnin for me

I learned a lot of my first attempts, and I encourage you to try again . That's not a difficult project, just it takes long time if you want good details... But it's fun .


Here some new pics with the mounting point, there are 2 pics of me with her to give you the scale.

 

[ralphee]

Thats the best looking ISD ive seen, maybe a controversial statement to some, but Julien you have just nailed it so well, like the mounting points too, ready for her close up haha
