The Mossy Shipyard by Bryan Woods - 1:1
Javlin replied to Bryan Woods's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
I would use a Marine Urethane nothing short or if you find something stronger. I used a standard urethane varnish on a table I built for outdoors it went for about 4years and 300+ inches of rain before a redo. -
I hear that alot Dan but I kinda like the red still gives a good outline thanks for the compliment
-
Getting closer methinks it pulled(wash) together the chipping hid some abit and looks more PTO?what's your thoughts?

Appreciate the compliment Alan I am not one for killing the subject in weathering just enough to make it look used.I do not know how much more staining and such I will do I have a Tamyia Spitfire MkVIII looking at me to which I have never done a 1/32 Tamy kit!
-
Alright I laid down a tamyia black panel wash.then Florys Sand all covered by Alcad semi clear.The sand looks better in person than in the pics esp. along the fuse giving it a depth look probably be best outside but 100% overcast today.

That was a lot of concrete to mix looking good and looking for the final results. -
Spindle chair by kgstakes - FINISHED - 1/12th scale
Javlin replied to kgstakes's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
That's interesting and crazy -
Craig I see why you went the route of the AM engine whoa! The painting looks really good well look much the part under the hood(I like fast cars)
-
Dan staining looks very good thus far and not sure if it existed on the Mossy but the most single engine(inline) the prop would stain 360'.I always figured it was the hydraulics to operate the pitch and such keep up the great work!

I think it's time to post a few pics she is getting pretty close to the finish line but the further I got into the build the more problematic it became.The canopy is by far the biggest PIA,the white decals (way to thick)and the exact position of the LG?The rear half of the canopy was removed checked for over spray and it BROKE again this time though I hate it got SG it worked and is glued in place.The LG for one the assembly process and angles could be a little clearer the front doors go way way out there mine are to tight( is what it is ) and the LG round stub pretty tight but should be tighter I have pics of the real one's hope I am close enough.The kit is not all bad just has the moments were the Almighty probably is SHH.

Thanks I am hoping the wash pulls it all together.🤨
-
Nice Dan I think I have that one myself in the built state(markings) in the cabinet never realized the under camo showing.
-
Thanks Alan at times it feels like one dimensional or lets say plain I am thinking the Florry's with blend it in better.🤨
-
The George is slowly getting to the finish line also when things hold up on another build I p/u the George and Xato w/#11 blade and start chipping.I feel at times mono(r/side looks better to me) but I have looked at quite a few pics of these birds and the chipping was minimum and around panels.

Thanks Dan sometimes letting it sit and mull it for a while does much to solve a problem.I have been working some color today on the plane to which I feel pretty good about.The two boxes on the l/side of the fuse covered up some ole unit markings methinks.I will start to lay down some clear in a bit and start decaling tomorrow night,

100% in agreement!

Your prop looks very good I have used orange acrylic clear that I made up it will give it a little of an aged look if so desired.

I had a bit of a snafu with the pit the consoles I installed on the opposite sides making the front part of the fuselage not able to close by a 1/16".The other problem was I had glued the the fuse all the way to rear gunners position! I let the rookie mistake sit for a couple of days was looking at ordering another kit and Quintas??The idea came wet the seam down a curve blade and start the seperation it was complete in 5/10 minutes with zero damage.Once I had the front portion of the pit out could see the consoles extending out beyond the IP.The Quinta's was carefully removed and sanding commenced till it fit and then reassembly.The wings are now glued on just a little filler up front and below no biggee.

I have started another little 1/48 seeing space is starting to run out the Meng Me-410 with the only add-ons being the Quintas Interior.The fit thus far has been quite Nice I have even placed the copit and gunner section within the fuselage halves fit looks excellent.The kit also supplies both engines and look like they might be pretty good for 1/48 sadly I will properly close those up once built.I also have the Revell 1/48 in the stash to which I order my mask for it when I ordered this one's mask.Pics of work done thus far....

I have been building this one while doing the George was really liking the look alot just shiny enough and the same clear same bottle the last coats lost a shade of shine.The pic on the stand is right before the last clear 🤨

Coming along slowly got a bit of chipping done last night it seems a bit geometric to me will try to break that habit.The stand I built today had all the wood of course(lyptus,black oak,red oak and 3/16 plywood) scraps just had to buy wingnuts.
