Temple of Doom Tri-Motor 2.0

i always like the weathering to be on the lighter side, i think what you have done so far with the pastels has really made it pop!

More weathering. I flipped a coin and am weathering it as the full sized Trimotor. I'll do the next one as the ILM model version.

I built one of these years ago. I based mine off of the ILM version because I had a very good photo of it. I like what you've done there, I see no reason to build 2. The difference would be just the blue wing cowlings, pretty much.

Very good weathering.

Added the curtains for the windows...

Got the wire rigging and control cables installed. (That was tedious!) I also redid the curtains in the windows so that they were weathered and open a little more. I think it looks better than my first attempt. I added the cockpit door/curtain to the cockpit that I've started scratch building. I found some paper that has a 'thread weave' texture, and I used that for the curtains. It may be off scale for the model, but it looks pretty cool when weathered. I'll probably just add chairs to the cockpit, since the rest really won't be visible.

Aaaaand Lao Che Air Freight 2.0 is finished...installed the new radial engines, took some pics, and then had a little fun with the camera putting it in some action shots!

Beautiful work - those look like shots right out of the movie.

Yep, those shots look like it was lifted from a '40s movie. Marvy!!
