Great Job!

I've seen some other reference material that makes the stripe look more yellow. Is the color you chose the correct one?

[moffeaton]

It is for me, heh. Beats me if it is 100% exact - but the ref pics I have make it look less lemon yellow than on some of the builds I have seen.

Yep, mine was too light and needed more red in the mix. Personally I'm gonna try to shoot for a color that's halfway between mine and yours. I think lighting plays alot in how we perceive it.

Excellent! Fantastic work.
Your display room is cool, too. Looks like a giant blue screen.

 

[ShowCraft]

I'm liking the darker yellows too. Awesome media room; the pod looks great mounted to the wall like that.

 

[voice in the crowd]

Simply stunning

Cheers Chris

Thanks, everyone!

I took this to a local IPMS show on Saturday, along with the Y-Wing... they didnt win a thing, but I took home two gold medals and a best sci-fi plaque/trophy-thing for some of my Maschinen Krieger models... studio scale never gets any love, LOL!

I meant to ask about the IPMS, but as you didn't mention it :angel

Many congratulations on the win :thumbsup. If you got any links to the models, I'd love to see them.

Love your media room set up- you need to finish your Buck Rogers starfighter though!!

Gorgeous, Jason. Freaking gorgeous. And looking at the build diary, you've obviously got a lot of sweat equity in this build-up.

Those IPMS judges wouldn't know sh1te from shinola...

 

[Trooper TK409]

GAH! Super well done as always. The new Roboterkampf site design is nice too.

 

[LordHar]

This is just fantastic!

I have been thinking about making a 1/6 scale crashed Escape Pod for a
diorama, and this sure gives me the inspiration. Now if I only could get some 'skill' somewhere :lol

Re: Escape Pod - IPMS Contest



I was surprised that the Studio Scale entries received no attention

Far be it for me to contradict the decisions of the illustrious judges.

I would, however, like to take this opportunity to announce the formation of a charity fund; the goal of which is to buy those blokes some badly needed prescription eye wear.

Congratz! on the much deserved awards there is a lot of talent in the Baltimore-Washington area.

Re: Escape Pod & Y-wing

After seeing pictures on-line of Moffeaton's great work for years.-

Getting the chance to see his work in person; All I can say is it looks 10 times better in person than on the web.

Truly masterful work!

Re: Escape Pod & Y-wing

GG - I'd have to agree w/ you. I got a chance to see this piece in person on Sunday after the show, and I think we ought to divert those funds towards canes and new glasses!!

The pieces that did win are incredible though, so I guess they aren't totally blind....

Re: Escape Pod & Y-wing

Mike - Lt. Col. Beauregard hooked me up with the Johdpurs and boots - wooo!

 

[Ham Solo]

Awesome work, Jason. As usual.
