Outstanding! The whole thing is full of win, but the landing pad graphic is perfect.

Love this project thread, so many different and cool items, the landing pad is spot on, and excellent work at casting your own SM bikes ;)

Keep up the great work regards epic

Excellent work. My only suggestion would be to weather the decals on the flakturm slightly. I usually do this on my IG models to make them look a bit more battle worn and faded. Basically just take a grey the same colour as your wall and either work it into the decal using a very very dry drybrush or try sponging a bit on and wipe it off quickly so you gradially tone down the decal colour contrast compared to the background. Probably a good idea to practice on something else first when working on such a nice piece though., A few rusty streaks of brown works well too IMO.

I actually did weather most of them. I chipped up the landing pad circle, aquila, and 01 quite a bit. I will give the tone down bit a try though, as the decals are quite white.

I found that just adding them really tied the flakturm together

Most definitely! Either that or a valued rug... ;)

Actually, I really like the cleaness of the decals. They really pop, but they have been very well applied so you can't tell they are decals.

The wonders of Micro Sol there, zap. Dissolves most of the film, so it looks painted on.

First of all, my next project is a light box...

Here is the finished Jetbike unit. Pretty happy with them. They have some minor flaws, as I am not FW, GW, or an Otter, but they dont show up too much with the paint scheme.

And a Chaplain to tool around with them.

And here is the entire Ravenwing (that I have)
