F-14D Super Tomcat by CDW - AMK - 1:48 Scale
Old Collingwood replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Ah yes of course aka Flyhawks hulls (I should have remembered that) OC. -
What I shall do is - await the reply back from the seller, if he is refunding me with me keeping this, I will still have enough material to work with as I ordered larger than I needed, so I will be able to cut and sand the pieces I want and glue them down on to the plastic base (using PVA Glue I have to hand) then just shape the rest of the pieces as I go, and light hairline cracks wont matter as I have a roll of the modellers grass mat to go over the top so the cracks or seems where the pieces join will not be seen. OC.

What an excellent idea, so I guess you slide the tub assembly in from rear of the assembly? Wish more kits would adapt this idea. OC. -
Indeed mate some times its a hit or miss affair ordering from over there. OC.

Thank you kindly brother, I will see what they say when they are open again (China Time) They initially responded straight away when I messaged them - full of apologies saying they would send a replacement but knowing that would also arrive damaged - I told them in no uncertain terms that I did not want a replacement but I wanted a Full Refund as I completely blamed them for not packaging it in bubble wrap or similar, they went quiet on me after that. OC.

Craig Packaging - what packaging, it was just put inside a thin plastic bag with no protection at all - it had no chance at all in not getting damaged travelling half way across the world. I am pushing them to refund my money while I see what I can rescue with this one as there is lots of trimming and thinning work to do to get the profile I need. OC.
-
Waiting to see what they will do about it. OC.
-
I have contacted them through Ebay waiting on a reply. OC.

Afternoon all, my styrene base has turned up from China - I will let the photos speak for them selves - to say I am not amused is putting it mildly - OC.
-
Thank you kindly brother. OC.

Looking good Alan, I do washes over my 28mm figures but how well I would get on doing that at this scale - I dont know, you could try a very slightly darker shade of Yellow and paint the shadows, then a slightly lighter shade of Yellow and dry brush the highlights and raised areas, I haven't actually successfully painted any larger scale figures. OC.

Thank you kindly Gary. OC.

Evening all, more odds and ends added and primed ready for paint layers - OC.
-
Very nice work Alan - quite a colourful chap. OC.
-
Thank you kindly Alan I will add a few more items to my tub. OC.

Evening all, a small bit of progress today - I have started to collect some odds and ends - shakos (that needed cutting off from heads then hollowing out) muskets that have had hands cut away and ruck sacks. OC.
-
Alan I have used the LifeColour Acrylic range for my HMS Warspite - they come in matched colour ranges and are really good on plastic, before I had an Airbrush I even brush painted them and got very good results. OC.
-
Thank you so much - very kind. OC.
-
Evening all, more water gel in the wheel tracks and a few more puddles. OC.
-
I wondered this as well Carl - does Anyone know what has happened to this valued member, she seemed to just vanish at the time when CV19 was in all our lives, so many family members have passed from here - its very sad. OC.
-

I was thinking just that Jack. OC.
