Graeme's Shaun the Sheep Land Rover. Airfix.

Personally I think those first two pictures really show the quality of the modelling in those films :thumb2:

Have to agree with Tim......it's not something I have paid a lot of attention too but that still shows it perfectly!

The film is made in the classic stop motion animation style that Shaun the Sheep has always used

I know. But the picture I meant:



doesn’t give me the impression of being that at all. Even if you take into account that there would be digital effects applied to get things like the wheel spin etc., it still looks like an entirely CGI scene to me.

Personally the worst I’d say about that is that it’s a digital illustration based on stop motion characterisation. Taking away from Graham’s build now though, so that’s enough from me.

Nice work Graeme.
I was beginning to wonder what this thread was all about.....

The way that Aardman create their films is pretty interesting, it takes a lot of work to create even a minute of footage.
Welcome along Ron, at times I wonder too!
I have found a more suitable paint for the Land Rover, a humbrol acrylic blue, which should be a reasonable match.

I've finally had a bit of time for this build, between one thing & another.
We have paint, primed only.

A bit more painting done today, the Land Rover has a first coat of blue, the figures have a few of the brush painted bits done. Pictures to follow!

Excellent
Good stuff Graeme!!

Lovely paint, both car and the dynamic duo (Shaun + Timmy). :thumb2:

[Graeme C.]

Thanks Andy & Andrea!
I've done a bit more painting this week, the paint on the Land Rover has not gone on as well as I would like, a bit patchy really, but with a coat of dirt & weathering it should be ok. The Land Rover is a farm vehicle & fairly dirty, so it doesn't have to be tidy.
