Su Xu
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Wanting to depict a scene in space and give a sense of weightlessness, Su kept the base compact and emphasized the vertical staging. He modified Hasegawa’s 1/35 scale Lunadiver Stingray to reduce the weight when mounted on the framework scratchbuilt using brass rod; the 1/35 scale Fireball is suspended from the Stingray with wire. The model was painted with Tamiya acrylics and weathered with Abteilung oil paint.
