Mirage III vs Mig-15

Re: Mirage III vs Mig-15
Thanks, Paul...
So, here's a Mirage:
And here's a burning MiG. Still work to do, but I'm pleased with the fire effect:
and here's a Mirage pointing at a distant MiG, as in the artwork:
The markings are not exactly those of the box art, but these Superscale decals actually work!
bestest,
M.

Re: Mirage III vs Mig-15
The Mirage looks great. I really like what you've done with the MIG, looks as if the plane has a molten core, very clever!

Re: Mirage III vs Mig-15
Looks like they hit the fuel tank. Maybe a few wisp of cotton wool would be a good addition?

Re: Mirage III vs Mig-15
I really like the Mirage. The explosions really came to life from the "Swimmers" they first looked like.

Thanks, chaps...
Here's the extended and motion-blurred final background art:
I now need to find somewhere in town that can run it out on a high-quality A3 colour printer...

Re: Mirage III vs Mig-15
Now that's going to be impressive Matt.

Re: Mirage III vs Mig-15
Slight screw-up on the printing front... it should be back tomorrow!
Progress so far:
The rockets are painted fishing line, which does have a tendency to return to the shape on the reel...

Re: Mirage III vs Mig-15
You guys are kicking butt and taking names with these box art builds. Nothing short of AMAZING...

Re: Mirage III vs Mig-15
Thanks, chaps. Here's the first full mock-up, with the backdrop:
The "titles" aren't the final ones yet, and I need to find out what the end of a Type IV dogfight double box looks like so I can repeat the distortion trick on the sides of the base. I'm going to give the MiGs wire undercarts, so they can sit a little more off the base, and if I can find any 1/185 >1/200 scale little guys, I'll pop them on...
And here's the closest I can get to the box art crop with my camera, indoors in poor light...
I need some rocket exhaust from the pods, as well... where's that cotton wool?
bestest,
M.

Re: Mirage III vs Mig-15
Superb stuff. Can we have a couple of side shots so we (erm... I ) can get a better idea of how you've achieved the distortion?
