They look fine my friend, Excellent in fact..... Sometimes accident is a better artist than all the skill in the world... Sometimes it is best to roll with the flow.... -
You can't get it thru desertcart.com.au? https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/7862466-krylon-k01050007-premium-metallic-gold-foil-gloss-8-ounce Pretty pricey I see but they offer less expensive alternatives as well... Then there is this one which claims they have it in stock.... https://www.caprioleshabbychic.com.au/Krylon-Premium-Metallic-18-KT-Gold-Spray-Paint-8-Oz

Excellent build Chris, beautiful planes....

Thank you very much Ed, Missed ya around these parts.... Of course I haven't had the time to really pay any attention though...
-
Thanks Papa, Well, there was a bit more work to it than that I'll admit, but not much.... It went together real easy...

Back in the '80's I had occasion to experience this effect, the T-birds were flying at the McChord open house.... The viewing stands extended from the base of the tower in front of the south hangar northward along the runway.... There about 10 yds between where I was standing and the hangar door..... The diamond formation had just cleared the low speed pass from north to south and was exiting the area, nothing at that point causing the crowd to look around to see what was next.... BOOM! #5 came out right over the hangar over the crown and busted all our eardrums, he wasn't supersonic, but he sure sounded like it.... He pulled up into a vertical climb and disappeared... Very impressive.....

If I had had an AF rig (F-4E) I would have did a spiffy paint job brother... but I just went with what I had.... As far blood on the model goes, the Admiral has a saying, It's not mine till it's drawn blood... (most of mine have some form of personal contribution in it somewhere) This one is no different.... {chuckle}

Thanks Lou, Much appreciated! She is definitely a space taker..... I was thinking of making her wheels up and hanging her off the ceiling but I couldn't figure out how to represent the exhaust plumes My personal favorite name was the phrase; "Worlds biggest distributor of Mig parts" {chuckle}

Thanks Gary, It was an amazing aircraft.... There was a development model that was adding newer turbofan engines to the airframe with water injection which would have made it a Mach 3 aircraft... It was rejected by the Airforce because it got too close to the performance of the SR-71, I think the Israelis built a toned down version but it wasn't put into production either... The first real do anything aircraft... The H-13's are suffering from the ultra fine detail affliction, what my minds eye sees compared to what is possible.... I'm working through that at this point and with the wife in her situation I really haven't the time to go into that level of engineering... Probably going to have to turn down the expectations on them... This build was something quick and easy as a way to relieve stress.... They are still coming as are several others... EG

But your battle took place in June, Rye doesn't harvest until late fall, so a little shorter and green would be the choices upper thigh height about 10 - 12 mm... or that's some awful tall rye... I'm sure whatever you choose it's going to look spectacular... PS: I updated that post you quoted with a bit more info and links..

So your looking at about 3' in scale..... Probably "N" scale wheat or hay..... Check this out.... https://www.sceneryexpress.com/Grass-Mats/departments/1051/ From that link you get to this.... https://www.sceneryexpress.com/NEW-12MM-MEADOW-GREEN-STATIC-GRASS-40g_14-oz/productinfo/NH07110/ 12 mm right in what your looking for and it's colored green or golden, late spring/early summer to late fall harvest time..... close to perfect for June in French fields... And this, How to build a Grassinator http://www.pacificcoastairlinerr.com/grassinator/ I hope this helps as I can't find much in the way of tall grass in mats or sheets... Fake Fur is another technique that has gotten good results...

Thank you Jack!

Thank you Dan, Glad you like it..... Much appreciated...

Cool! I'm glad he did change his mind, He makes a good product I would definitely second the motion to get masks from Kenny.... They ARE worth it....

Look like your learning curve is beginning to shallow out.... Excellent, it will get to be even more fun when it's flatlined.... Great deal! Enjoy...

Yeah I know, when I talked to him about getting glue, I asked about masks for my Gwin build he told me all he is doing now is selling off the residuals left over... He may have changed his mind though it's been a while since I talked with him...

A suggestion? Thin copy paper, find the font you like, scale to the size you need, print, cutout the individual number/letters, soak in a 50/50 mix of PVA and water, stick it to the side, when dry, clear flat overcoat it....... I've seen it done on much smaller models.... 2nd method? Heavy paper like card stock, find the font you like, scale to the size you need, print, cutout the individual number/letters, use the sheet as a template for spray painting them on.... Numbers/letters in that size are easy with a computer....

You call that grubby, looks downright clean for an old style garage.... The jack look good, and both being up against a wall would be perfect, the only thing I would add is an oil pitcher, 4 qt size sitting on the oil tank and a funnel.... Well done my friend....

Thank you Kevin, It is appreciated... 21 and a half inches, barely fits in my cabinet, gonna have to get a bigger one soon.... (once the A7, F-100, A4, F-104 and F4U are done) {chuckle}
-
Yep, there was no hard and fast rule on any of them... About the only thing that is common to them all is the yellow painted oak wheels and silver steel tyres.. Even the yellow color could vary by where the coach was built, they all sourced local materials...

Thank you Dennis, it's really appreciated...
-
Thanks my friend, Just figured I would take one out and just build it... Nothing fancy, straight outta the box... I've seen a lot of examples of the (what I call) brake line mania especially in the wheel wells doesn't matter that when on the shelf nobody will ever see it but they gotta have them....
-
Thanks Brother.... Good eye, I got that when I upgraded my camera to a T7i...... It really makes taking closeups easy...

The Overland Stage Company used yellow and red, the yellow for the chassis is traditional and was carried over when Overland was acquired by Wells Fargo.... (they kept the yellow chassis and just used a simple varnish on the coachwork)
