After years of using Templates very kindly provided by Fly By Shooter for making my "Griffon Hacked" Spitfires I've finally decided to make my own.
Granted I had to modify the templates I used but this time I decided to cause Myself some serious problems by making my own template 100% original (including internals) right down to the last rivet. It's going to take me a long time no doubt since I have only ever made a template once before with a Ki-84 Sea Fury I made so updates on this one will be scarce I would imagine. I started this about a month ago but forgot to post it here ![]() Anyway here are some progress pics from from various stages over the past month up until where I am now with it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Thanks guys, Yeah Joe that is a LOT of rivets, have done abit more and toned them down a lot since that image but am currently working on the fuselage rivets (joy).
As for FBS, I have seen him posting more of his work at the M4T site - jaw dropping stuff as usual ![]() |

Great work!
I'm just working on a Spit-template after I completely reworked Foo'bars 109-template. A very good template, but I never felt comfortable with various points, so in the meanwhile I've completely redone the whole thing - bolt by bolt. My personal feeling is, though, that bolts and panel-lines are mostly overdone. It's good this is up to one's personal preference, but I oriented on original pictures and tried to find a way between a realistic look and somewhat more eyecandy 3D-effects. The problems is, though, that you mostly see the metal surrounding the bolts, due to their bent shape and different reflections, rather than the bolts themselves. This is my result: ![]() For my Spit-template, I use pictures like this to adjust strength of panellines and stuff: ![]() |
