Hi,
I present you my big Sulaco here. 2m60 length.
I started building in March 2010, and I finished there a few days.
This piece is building with plasticard, kits and resins parts. Some details to make with the painting again.
I take other pix again and I place here soon... an sorry for my very bad english...
Holy cow! Nice build, good paintjob, and you speak better English than most of us will ever speak any other language (i.e. bilingual beats monoglot!), so don't apologise.
All it needs is a sexier base - is one in the works?
She's awesome Franck !
I hope to see her soon !
C'est magnifique!
I kind of like the base. It looks industrial, like something a studio would use.
Im currently cleaning the coffee i spat out over my monitor on seeing this piece.
Utterly amazing work, she is beautiful, props too on the base, looks very studio........well done sir!

Franck, maybe you should tell us the size of this beauty ? Something like 250 cm or so from what I recall ?
Big thanks at all guy's...
You know, it's difficult and scary to present a piece on this big forum...
Julien, this piece go to Lyon international exhibition in March 18/28... And Migennes februar 26/27. I would like to see you...
Haha sorry, I should stop to look only at the pics !Nwerke said:
Franck, unfortunatly it will be impossible for now as all my week-ends are busy until the end of May.
WOW!! That's really, really impressive. Is approx. 8ft long a good conversion?
absolutly stunning... by far the best looking sulaco i have seen to date..thumbs up m8
WOW, that is one impressive model mate. Looks stunning and 2,6 meters, holy cow
Now that is what this forum is all about! Incredible, inspiring work.
Wow it must be a nightmare to ship a crate as big as a coffin let alone secure the thing. Truly wish I could see this ship in person. As far as parts maps are there available references anywhere?leukirix said:
Fantastic work, really inspirational!...But, maybe its my eyes playing tricks on me -or lack of knowledge of the studio model- but your model appears to be saging, or bowing/flexing as if under weight. This is especialy noticable in the second (side view) image.
Apologizes if this was intential, part of the studio model, or some strange byproduct of photographing such a large detailed model. Just wanted to point it out so all that amazing work isn't in vein if some internal support suddenly snapped.
Can't wait to see what you snap together next Leukirix.
Always a p[leasure seeing your work.
I don't even want to see the kit list on this monster
Sometimes you get stuck for words! How much does it weigh and where the hell do you keep it?! Brilliant ,brilliant work. At first glance I was convinced it was the original model. What are you going to build this year!
Hi,
Some pix here. You can see that my Sulaco is not exactly like original. Because, it's very difficult to identify part maps and all the details... And I like re-created some parts.
You can see that it can be dismantled.
For the kit list, I could find this with pixs modelermagic.com :
- M60A2 1/35 Tamiya
- Flakpanzer gepard 1/35 Tamiya
- SDKFZ 223 1/35 Tamiya
- Kettenkrad 1/9 Revell (not sur)
