So the plane looks like a possibility. <br />At least I like on that way.Alcideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314409686730239541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160546163844864803.post-88417099698753397582014-07-23T15:26:12.607+09:002014-07-23T15:26:12.607+09:00Very cool models, I too like "The Big Fish&qu...Very cool models, I too like "The Big Fish".<br />My feelings about "what-if" models are that they must be based in some fact and be believable. Also, the combining of features, kits, and color schemes should look like a seamless unit. "The Big Fish" accomplishes this. There is an amazing amount of latitude, to be honest.<br />To open it up further, fantasy aircraft come next. Although this is a creative and open area, it pays to stay with the spirit of what you are building. If it's to be Japanese, then it should look Japanese.<br />"Cross-marking" as the Raiden illustration shows, can be done as well, as long as it is believable, and makes sense.<br />Like a good sci-fi movie, it has to make you believe that what is on the screen is possible.<br /><br />Alright, have I said too much? :)<br /> D.
