MiG Madness
Posted: 06 Apr 2012, 01:19
Here we go again, it all starts with a picture.........
Now that I have popped the cork (and cherry) in the modeling community, it's time for the next step. In eight years of failed modeling attempts, I have amassed three things; a lot of experience on what not to do in modeling, a large collection of demented and twisted unsuccessful models, and most importantly an agenda for what I want to do if I ever got modeling off of the ground. For anyone who has followed my painting the last thirteen years has figured out that I am quite fond of Mother Russia, and all the mystique of the post-WWII Eastern Bloc military. That being said, this new thread is for a whole agenda of Russian military AI models coming down the track like a freight train. The title implies MiGs, but there will be Sukhois to be sure, and perhaps a Tupolev or Ilyushin in the future; and most of it will be retro. Like my documentation for the Lightning stated, I won't take requests at least for this year, but I think I will keep this thread very, very busy for a long time. I am a huge fan of Sergey Bunevich over at SBAI models, we have helped each other out in the past with modeling and painting, so there won't be any repeats of his models here. However, I think that most of the stuff I have planned/in progress has never been done for AI, or needs an update. So, again, fasten your seatbelt and hold on to your back-side...... and enjoy.
