Some of Scorpy's shameless selection of models

[Scorpius]

I'd like to share with you all a few photos of some of my models. Some of these are no longer with me, but I have the photos for posterity. This will most likely be image intensive, so I'll break it up into posts.....

First, my SSM Departures contest entry, I won Editor's Choice.

Last, but not least (for now at least!), the O scale model of Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Pittsburgh, I built when I was an employee at Carnegie Science Center. I worked on this beast every single day, 12 hours a day, for 45 days straight. When I was finished, I thought I would end up in the looney bin!

Very cool! I like the B5 Starfury. I've never modeled one before - I love looking at how other modelers finish theirs. They scream out for "cheesecake" pinup art!

[Scorpius]

Last few pics of the church. Casting the 35 plus window frames was fine, but doing the paper shingles made me very disagreeable.........

The original church has a slate roof. On one side, the weight of the roof is pushing the brick wall outward. They insisted I model this as well..... I did, to scale in fact, but unless you climb onto the table (which obviously you can't) you can't really see it.

Thanks, twas a fun project! There's some photo-etch in there, but you can't really tell. I used a photo-etch steering wheel even. I have another, unbuilt, a Cougar C427 that I'm going to do with a groovy vinyl top. ;)

Thanks! Sadly the Starfury had a catastrophic encounter with a shadow planet killer (movers) and was relegated to the parts bin. That was the second build of it. The first time it had blue LEDs in the engines.

[Raytheon]

Gotta admit, my fave is the pickup.
The dented and battered paintwork and the general cruddy look, first class sah!

Church dio, very cool :)

[modman06]

Thanks Raytheon. My goal succeeded then. I gave that one away. It was a quick 3 day project from start to finish.
Church dio, very cool :)

Thank you Al. REPRESENT! ;)

[Scorpius]

Damn that pick up is fanfuckintastic! The rust and weathering is spot on.
Never saw the church, so I'll take your word that it looks as it should.;)

But Pittsburgh ain't too far to drive, so I may look into the accuracy of that subject.:p

The freighter is hellacool too!

All kinds of cool in this post of yours Scorpy. Well done!!

Thanks very much my fine Simian friend! ;) :D

[777]

WOW. I mean, the models themselves are awesome, but the effort and detail put into the surroundings are great!

well actually I was refering to the old truck. at the time I posted you hadn't posted the actual car yet, and since everything else was scifi or armor I figured car was good enough :D

[Eagle-1]

Score-pee-on!

Lookin' good! I swear, I've sen that Tiger before? Ever posted it?

Rob.

[Scorpius]

Thanks guys!

I don't think I've posted the Tiger anywhere, could be wrong though...

[Moorcat]

they're all fantastic...I think my fav is the pick up, like that Homeworld ship too.

[Damien9479]

I wouldn't say it's a shameless collection of models just a very nice variety...Awesome work there Scorpy!!...The truck is fucking awesome...Modeling stuff that is beat up is a hell of a lot harder than it looks...The church is killer too

Tom:D

[Papa Smurf]

Love the Homeworld Ship, played that game to the end! Tanks are super cool! The Church shows the skill of a die-hard modeler, nice work Scorp!!! :)

[Scorpius]

Thank you gentlemen!

[RKW]

I find myself mesmerised by that old banger of a pickup truck. Fantastic weathering and base that it could easily pass for a much larger scale model. Plus I'm amazed how quickly you did it too!

[MustangGT]

Everything looks good, its also nice to see a nice varity of kits. I to like to build more then just Sci Fi, that is why I build for others so much, I get to build kits I just want to build but not buy or keep..Kev
