Ronpur's Custom Figure and Model thread!

Very Nice Ronpur and congrats!

Thanks! And I just noticed it looks like my photobucket pictures are back?

Very nice!

The prizes for the contest were kits of the model you just made?  After such nice customs do they want you to assemble a kit using the official instructions this time?

At least we know who to call for models in case Classic Who ever comes back.

Not only those kits, but every future release......

I may custom some of those too, they are great kits.

I wish I had gotten one of those old Dalek model kits when they were out in the 1980s!

Hey Ronpur, I got some kits of "Russkie" ships and some of the Apollo program, I was going to put them up on feepay this weekend, since I doubt I will ever get around to doing them, if you are interested let me know.

OOPs, never saw this Whooz, I may have been!

Thanks to Winter, I obtained a Curator Tom head to customize a Doctor for the end of Shada.  Just a head swap and repaint of the hair.  I want to fix the neck on the body to match the pale flesh of the head.

I can't seem to access my imagehosting site, so you can follow my model building on Facebook. My page is called the "Model Astronut" https://www.facebook.com/Ronaldsmodels/

Here is a model I built for the Apollo 11 Anniversary last year.  The old Monogram First Lunar Landing in 1/48 scale.
It has a lot of modification to make it accurate.

I used my scale models of Gemini 9 to create this image of the spacecrafts in orbit.

And this one of Astronaut Ed White on his spacewalk during Gemini IV.

This is a larger scale model of Neil Armstrong taking his first step on the lunar surface.

One of my craziest builds, a Saturn V on the Mobile Launcher with the Launch Umbilical Tower.

And, of course, the splashdown.

And recovery helicopter:

That's great, Ron!  They should have borrowed some of your models when they filled the landing in Hollywood back in 1969!

That isn't true. Stanley Kubrick demanded they film on location!

Really enjoying the customs.
