About this Group
So, I made a New Year's Resolution to clear the Shelf of Doom in 2021. Build 'em or bin 'em.
I finished the Fiat G.55 that had been hanging around since 2007(!), and got a good result; built the sub-type I wanted to do all along, found the right decals in the stash, and I like what I see. In fact, I had to ask myself, "Self, WTF were you thinking? This is a good model!" And I am finding the same feeling working on the next two. In fact, doing this has "brought up the Mojo" in more than models.
I'll bet this works for others, too. So, here's the deal: the group runs till December 31, 2021. You do as many from your Shelf of Doom as you want, but YOU HAVE TO FINISH THEM BY THE END OF THE YEAR. If you don't you have to bin 'em and provide a photo of it in the trash. Since modelers are well-known cheapskates, nobody will want to do that, so everyone will get the model done and off the SoD.
Trust me, this works.

Thanks my friend @johnb! Glad you followed my build!

Awesome result, Spiros @fiveten Incredible how you tackled this huge aircraft. It was a pleasure to follow this thread.
-
Thanks so much my friends @holzhamer and @chinesegeorge! Outdoor pics to be taken soon!
-
@fiveten can't wait to see this beauty in headlines, Spiros, some outdoor photographs would be nice as well.
-
Spiros @fiveten - what a great journey it has been! The mammoth size Sukhoi model you now present is really impressive, both in size and in the quality of your work. I really like the camouflage paint work and the […]

Thanks my friend @tcinla!

Well, I am certainly glad to help you get such a great result @fiveten.

Added "final bits" and performed "last minute touch ups" and Thanks to our Admin @tcinla for the conception and follow-up of this mojo-motivating great GB! Thanks to all followers, particularly the following […]

The canopy turns out nicely, Spiros @fiveten. Holding a piece in place and waiting for the glue to dry is also one of my worst moments in modelling, I do recognize the 'swearing' part.
-
A final shot of the cockpit before canopy attachment: obviously the thin transparencies were prematurely removed from the mold without being sufficiently cool, as they were narrower than the fuselage attachment […]
-
Thanks my friend @coling! In fact that post shading is done with dry pastels! I used to airbrush them, but have lately switched to dry pastels, as they can be wiped away if the result is not to my liking, […]
-
Outstanding progress, Spiros. The Sukhoi is looking spectacular and really huge as well. Did you do the last stage of weathering as an airbrush-applied post-shade? It looks really good and, if airbrushed is a […]

Thanks my friend @johnb! A big model, so challenging to handle (which also refers to the beautiful beast by sitting by my Sukhoi, as well 🙂 ).
-
I fully agree with the quality inspector, Spiros @fiveten The build looks fantastic and that last picture clearly shows how big this aircraft is.
-
Added the HUD...and all lights' lenses... Had a QC evaluation, "PASS" result... Slowly approaching the finish line... Thanks for stopping by!
-
Thanks my friend @johnb! Will try to finish this beauty tonight...
-
She looks wonderful, Spiros @fiveten. You keep on continuing with the final bits 😉
-
Now onto the final bits... Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks my friends @holzhamer and @johnb! Here are pics from the underside!

Greatly weathered, Spiros @fiveten The fishing weigth is perfectly hidden by the way, no signs of it.
