You still on oil mate? I have had a conversion part fuel part static - mind you the later is from me dragging my slippers on the floor as I walk. OC. -
You could always get a model of an airbrush to start with - then get an airbrush to paint the model airbrush - "Gonna stop there - just getting too weird"😁 OC.

You know you can't resist Mike - neither of us can. OC.
-
No worries mate. OC.
-
Thank you kindly Edward. OC.

Thanks Mark, I wonderd that - even went searching for modified chinooks RAF ones in the field, but all had the windows intact, I dont know it these windows could be opened or are fixed in place. OC.

I think I have rescued it - I have masked the windows including the domed ones at the rear, then I attached to Two rotor head mounts - then I was able to glue the other outer shell in place, it will need some tidy up work along the spine of the hull roof. So this is where I am at the moment. OC.

Very clean smooth finish mate. OC.
-
Thanks Lou. OC.

I think I may have rescued it................I dragged it out of the cupboard and remembered I had some fine wire I used to use for dabbing on ca glue, anyway as the Inner section is only joined to teh outer on one side, I was able to push the wire through and push the windows back into place, then run some poly around the outside frame - it wasn't the most ideal but I have some masks and will see if I can cut them a mil or so smaller to allow paint to cover any glue around the edges of the glass, its going to be rattle can primed then colour coat painted anyway, so that combination might cover my errors. "I Hope" OC.

Hi Mark, trouble is I only have whats to hand and thats only revell poly. But...................... Read below. OC.

I shall jump straight back into this tomorrow and do some more KGL infantry, trying to get my head round if I can change the stance of a few of them, as a few (well more than a few) were lying on the slanted roofs, and there are no figures in that stance in my stash - will have to see what I can do. OC.
-
Im here mate - looking forward to this. OC.
-
Thank you Kevin. OC.
-
Thanks Ken, oh well win some loose some - I used to bin far more when I was younger. OC.
-
Indeed Mike, trouble with this was - the galzing windows are slightly undersize so they need a reasonable amoubt of glue to hold them, then when its bolted up - theres nothing taht can be done if they are loose. OC.
-
Nice start mate - looks a good moulding from what can be seen. OC.

I have scrapped this after a disastrous attempt to fit the cabin windows - they supply twice as many round windows as is needed (can understand why now) anyway first attempt drop them in then carefully apply liquid poly (as its the only glue I have) but it was so thin it ran down and hazed the glass, so I was able to push them out, second go but using even less glue - I gave them a couple of hours before deciding to attach the one outer shell to the inside unit, that went well glued and secure, but...................the (enter rather cross word here) windows had not secured and had pushed in with absolutley no way of getting to them to push them back or re glue as it would have gone over the glazing - so I have no choice but to scrap it and put it down to one that beat me. Oh well - back on with my figures. OC.

Thank you kindly, there is Plenty more to come yet - when I start on the building (next year) then the Real diorama building will start, the farm buildings come in a kit its an MDF kit that needs putting together and painted, I will also be working on creating a base with simulated grass, trees and a stone road (I have read sand paper makes good roads when painted). OC.

Its looking really good - the frame around the acess panels look really impressive - deffinatley worth all the effort. OC.
-
In the UK we have a series called "Top Gear" its a car test program - anyway they tried to Kill a Toyota 4x4 dropped it - set fire to it and it just would not die, it was bashed up but still ran. OC.
-
Yep, thanks mate. OC.
-
Thank you kindly - appreciate you having a look. OC.
-
Just seen this "Upss re my other comment" now I see your next project - this will be cool. OC.
