Those exhaust pipes look great. -
They must be related to the Coca Cola bears. They're trotted out every year around Christmas.

Fix uneven paint area
Canute replied to DMM's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
Tamiya makes good primers in rattle cans/spray bombs. I believe they're lacquer based. Tamiya have figured out how to make good spray nozzles. I'd use the Fine gray primer under both yellow and red. As a heads up, they make 2 different grays. A gray and a fine gray. The fine will show blemishes, the plain gray is more of a filling primer. Choose accordingly. -

SU-85 WW2 Soviet Tank Destroyer by CDW - MiniArt - 1:35 Scale

Hmm, Russian C rats on the bottom, ice cream on top? 😁 The snow and ice look really good, Craig. I can remember winters in various places I've been with gear looking like that. -
Nicely done, Glen. 👍 I really liked your blending of a historical event and some barnyard animals.

Good looking instrument panel, Chris. As to the front of the seat, I'll buy your logic.The F-4 had an indent on the front of the seat kit, which was what we sat on. In front of that was the lower ejection handle. The top of the stick was higher, like yours is, so there wasn't any interference. The lower handle was the one of choice, but for takeoffs, the upper was easier to yank on, since the stick was in the way for the lower. Confused yet? We got a lot of practice in the sims and with the ejection seat trainer.😄

Yves, very nice progress. That yellow resin casting may have been done with Alumilite, which cures to that yellow shade. It has a distinct odor. Cast in hand held molds. You can buy kits to make your own parts using your home brew molds. I'm with EG. They were painted to preserve the parts. But some wise man said, it's your railroad. 😁

Doing a nice job with the added details. 👍 -
SU-85 WW2 Soviet Tank Destroyer by CDW - MiniArt - 1:35 Scale
Canute replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Progressing nicely Craig. 👍 The crews had to be pretty short/small to shoehorn 4 bodies into that beast. 6 footers need not apply. -
Yves, excellent work building up those white metal trucks. Using hot glue? I'll file that away in my tool bag, thank you. You might try a yardstick to spike down the first rail of your test/display track. Keep it straight. Adding the second track the same way you've already demonstrated. Thankfully you aren't doing a curved section. A bit harder to get a totally smooth curve.

I'll be tagging along, too. We had a French unit at Bitburg, Germany, that provided some anti aircraft protection. They augmented a US Army HAWK missile unit there. Saturday nights got multi lingual in downtown Bitburg.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
