Thank you Craig, thought it would make a change to come a bit more modern - easier to paint also. OC.

Hope all is going well Edward. OC.

Looking good mate - the cockpit is like the Wok of the meal - the more interesting detail you put in it - the more tasty the meal will be. OC.

Thanks Lou, take a seat for the party. OC.

MRAP ATV by CDW - FINISHED - Rye Field - 1:35 Scale
Old Collingwood replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Amazing detail. OC. -
More than welcome. OC.

The build sequence starts with the bang seat - normal Martin Baker affair, its built straight out of the box and has lots of detail, after assembly of the main seat frame (the seat cusion assembly is sepaerate) I then did a bit of dry brushing for high lights using flat alum paint. OC.

Hi all, I have put my two spits on hold for a bit - time to change subject matter and come forward in time a bit, I have always had a love affair with the Harrier after seeing my first one when I was seven at an airshow with my dad, I was in aw of them and the noise they made when lifting off verticaly (amazing) another one of my loves is the Navy (blame my late farther) I tried to join the navy just before the Falklands War but never made it, and when the Falklands kicked off I was watching almost every movement by the Sea Harriers in action on the Tv. I have built several of them mainly in 1/72 scale including the Esci and Airfix versions - but I always wanted to do a 1/48 kit - so when the Tamiya version came out I snapped one up - but that kit was famous (for all the wrong reasons) totally the wrong shape and poor details but I still built a couple of them. This brings me to the current day some time a go I was checking out what Ebay was doing and spotted this on bids - yep patience and I won it got it for a great price with the kit was some nice extras. So without further a do - the box/contents pics - OC.

Dont foreget the welcoming holes where they used to drop boiling oil and things on un welcome vistors. OC.

What I was trying to achieve - deffo not a hard edge sprayed on using rubber masks I believe on the real things. Pic off the net. OC.
-
Anyone used those camo paint masks you can get - any good? OC.

When I saw the saw excuse the pun, I nearly hid under the bed always one of those "hold your breath moments" OC

Thank you Kevin. OC.

B-25J Mitchell by Tom E - Revell - 1:48 Scale
Old Collingwood replied to Tom E's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Sounds like a plane Tom - both the food and the decal solutions. With the micro sol Please - please be carful Not to mess with the decal after you have applied it over the decal, you will see some reaction on the decal - thats Normal (but you Must Not touch the decal till the micro sol has completely dried) OC. -
I could resort to plan num2 - build her as a High Altitude IX in overall Ocean Grey with just the sea grey underneath, that could work and would still be viable and No masking for camo. OC.
-
I'm just a bit fed up at the moment - fed up and angry at the way the world is right now, and my build is supposed to be some light relief to de-stress its actually having the opposite effect making me tense and wound up. I will sort it (probably wont be as first intended) but it will be built - remember the Yellow Subamrine song? nah only joking aint gonna paint her yellow - Pink she will be. OC.
