MIKE WALLACE' "ETERNAL PATROL"

Author Mike Wallace approached me a short while ago with an exciting project. He saw my model of the REVELL 1/72nd Gato U.S. submarine on this blog. He asked me to submit his publishers a few shots and they chose an action shot for the cover. The book is out this month and they made a great job with the water effects added to the model that was just held up against a pale sky. Thanks to Mike Wallace for chosing my work for his book.

WRECKS OUTSIDE LOS ANGELES

These are everywhere ! A few shots of the cooler ones.

LAS VEGAS.

After L.A. I drove to Vegas. Weather was not up to it's usual mad self, but still a nice break.

LOS ANGELES.

Went to L.A. last week. Here's a few pics to have a look at.

MORE GALACTICA.

Here she is a bit nearer completion. The underside and the motors are just to be done now. As usual any omments are welcome.

WEATHERING THE BSG-75. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.

This is a strange model. It's supposed to be something like half a mile long. So when they bring out a model that is such a small scale, you have to do it right or the thing starts to look like a toy. Cleaned, prepared and assembled. Laid down the ever-faithful HALFORDS grey primer then hit it with Moondust Silver. Weathered with M.I.G pastels and sealed with Humbrol matt varnish. Some pictures of the progress so far.

BSG-75 BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

Kicking off this Moebius BATTLESTAR model. Really easy to put together. hardly any clean up from this high-quality kit. About 13 inches long and this is up for sale when complete. It will be studio accurate but not lighted.
