Excellent job Trev... I'm really liking the color scheme you went with on this and the wings turned out great! Glad to see
you got it done for the contest and that you won an award for it as well.

Nicely done....

Thanks Mark.
Once I got past the prep stage, the paint on this was fun.
Don't get to use gaudy colors like this very often. And was good to get some practice with irridescents for when I need to use them on future projects.

With that in mind, I'm going to try and step back from doing so much prep on these kits.
I've got way too many of them to spend all that time erasing all signs of the seams.
They may not turn out to be award winners, but at least they will be done.

I think your base helped push it over the top Rick.

Thanks.
I think one of the hardest things about it, was figuring out exactly how I wanted to display it.

I'll illustrate some of the options when I finally get around to doing the finished shots of the kit.
But with the movable legs, you can having it standing flat.
With it's rear hunched down and the head up, like it's going to attack.
Or with the rear up, and the head down like it's being cornered.

I opted for head up, so some of the detail underneath could be seen.

Well, it took me a little longer than hoped, but the finished pics are now up.

About halfway down the page, you can see what I was talking about with the posing options.

Very cool to see more pics of your Build...

This really turned out excellent and Like I mentioned in an earlier post I love the color scheme!

Thanks.
I had lots of fun with it.

I've even kicked around the idea of picking up another one to do in another color scheme.
Though that would be a ways off.
