Here are some pics of a 1/144 Revell B-737-800 that I am building in Continental livery. The wings are flexed and the gear will not be compressed for that short final profile look. Still have a lot more to go with this build. I would like to sell her here for $300 plus the overnight express charges. Send a pm if your interested.
As the proud owner of two of Brad's builds, I can definitely vouch for him and his work; he's great to do business with and his models are truly masterpieces!
Here are some shots of my two beauties from Brad. (Hope you don't mind me posting these here, Brad!)
1/144 DACO 737-500
1/200 Hasegawa 777-200
No one's better at flaps and weathering than Brad! So detailed and realistic. The only downfall about these models is that they make me want to throw away all my factory made plastic and die-cast models, haha.
Brad, you know I'd buy your 738 that's in progress in a heartbeat if I had the extra cash right now! And you're doing it in CO colors to entice me even more, ehh? Can't wait to see this one finished!
Mostly I used "Tamiya wetherene masters". It's like a powder/make-up that you apply with a sponge like tool. Then you use a dry brush to mix/fade in the efffect. I also use pencil lead sometimes for panel lines or a very thinned flat black too......Play around with pastels or a water/acrylic wash too.
I thought about using a set winglets from the Daco kit......But then everybody has them on their NG 737's builds. Something different for a change.
hah i only notice that because ive had some of that happen to my customs and now take great care to keep them seated on something soft while in the build process.
Brad, while your work is 100% stunning, and your weathering makes these little gems look 100% real, I have yet to see you incorporate one of the most obvious and common "real-world" weathering staining effects: the jetway "contact/rub" mark. I have never seen a well used airliner without one!
Yea, I always wanted to try the Jet Way stains and those door jams/windows/waste gate and try some paint chipping on the vert. stabs and around the cockpit too.
It's really up to the customers taste in the build.
Hey does anybody want a 1/144 Revell Conrinental B-737-800? C'mon..............$300. plus shipping.
If its not too late to change the airline and negotiate a little on price you got a customer!

Wow! Brad, I am speechless... How do you do the flaps?

WOW Brad, it's not even finished and it looks fabulous!
Gosh, I would love to have Korean Air B737-800 or MD-80 or B727-200 in 1/200 scale made by you, but the price is way too over my limit...
Well, anyway always impressed by your master pieces!
