Avenger ref pics

Edit: they're on the group site now, new link: http://www.studioscale.com/MartynAvenger.html

Hi all,

Had a request for the Avenger pics I took back in 2002, and they're also going to end up on the MF builder's group site, but in the meantime they're here:

*URL snipped, see above*

Being new to the cam I had a lot of autofocus and flash problems so the results are a bit hit and miss. Sorry about that, but there are some angles you might not have seen before and a few worthwhile closeups here and there.

Without those pics, working on the ISD would have been impossible for me ! Those are great, thanks again Martyn !

My pleasure, Julien. Ha! I'd actually forgotten I posted them for you before. I think I posted them on SSM too, but never got the whole lot up - those were smaller versions, too. Great to finally have good upload bandwidth!

Thanks Mate ... very much appreciate you sharing these pics ...

Thanks so much for the pictures! I'm seeing a lot of details that I haven't seen before.

Thank you very much Martyn for posting these. Are you the same "Martyn" that sent me the pics of the small hanger?

On second thought.... just by posting these, I see more work that I have to do:cry

 

[Nwerke]

It's my pleasure, guys, glad you liked them. Scratchy, yes. Did I promise to send you other pics? I KNOW I owe someone these pics, can't recall who. Hopefully he'll find them.

And yeah, the detail is endless. Not all the panel lines are drawn on with pencil - there's scribing too! All I can say is that Julien is barking mad...but in a good way.

Nice clean ships.
There is no need to weather them up like other SW ships.

 

[Nwerke]

No, but the sheer amount of panelling is unbelievable. To really nail this model's paint scheme you probably need to mask off about 300 separate areas for the darker greys and creams.

 

[CessnaDriver]

I probably did about 150 on the anigrand and only one color. That was enough for me man. LOL

 

[Nwerke]

I hear ya. I have the RC, I'm not looking forward to it. Masking is one of my least favourite things!

 

[Scratchy]

I don't even want to think about masking and panelling right now.

Those are some amazingly detailed photos. Thanks for sharing, I may never make this, but I can marvel at the intricate work!
