Woodwork/Model making workshop. Scale 1:1
Javlin replied to Charter33's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
What was the purpose of the sand?I have never used a lathe and have thought maybe one day.🤨 -
Like it Gary cars are not my gig really for the most part but she came out good!
-
So I had to go look that one up Ken...so in a good way or was he arrogant?I have heard from past interviews he was somewhat easy to get along?🤨
-
You kinda perked my interest also in these loco's Oh and by the way No.1 build looks sweet!

Thanks OC she had her tribulations but learning new avenues.

I am calling this one done fellas I had three pieces left to install two landing lights and the clear underwing light ..well as my luck has been the last I dropped the r/wing light and wala it was frigg'in gone 🤨.... I am not manufacturing another one I figure by the time I get done sanding and repainting I will break another gun barrel the antenna/pitot tube will both wala best to stop while ahead.I figure should it show fix it then, The kit is a worthy kit for a P-47 the subtleties of the lines and rivets are quite nice.I had no issues with the front cowling myself upon examination notches are supplied to remove any guess work on your part.I thought I had the aux.fuel tank aligned let it sit overnight well it slid some I left it been breaking to much on this one. The one thing I did not understand you have a square hole for the LG but it was loose I mean the reason for square to get a uniform alignment no guess work other than that decals/stencils worked out great beginning to not like Florry's Dust would of been fine with the Sand like you see on the bottom.I was trying to lighten the color of of the OD for sun fade not to successful but is better than the P-40.

Though not finished as of yet the time is near.The kit is the 1/48 MiniArt which I would highly recommend to which I think the lines/rivets surpasses the Tamiya's offering for me at least.I had to do the bombs twice seeing the first go round the seams still showed some.I applied the second time the MrSurfacer 1000 with foam(1st time qtip) pad till it started to dry and pulling the foam back I got resistance this pulled the paint outward creating a stubble effect like cast iron.The effect in 1/32 one might need MS500 just guessing?

Thanks for the input EG I have never ever feared resin or paint fumes but I am learning there are some sawdust you just want to avoid. -
Coming together Nicely Andy
-
Looking sweet Rob
-
Thanks Andy not now though over killed the weathering on this one with to much dust effect
-
In 1/72 could see that I have problems with the pencil working the walkway to the pit on the wing seems a sponge would do better.
-
It's not to bad I think you need a more porous sponge and almost dry thanks for the tip I usually only do inside the plane.
-
Looking good Andy I am doing the Trumpter 1/48 P-40B in the same camo the Middlestone in your first pic looked light to mine but your fourth pic we are dead on.The Dark Earth mine has a tad to much red in it used French Earth it looks ok.

Or it could be Yves you have some of the same gremlins I have at your house....model gremlins... they love to steal parts and laugh in the back corner as you fuss Really Yves this is looking excellent! -
That came out quite Nice Alan really looks the part for some reason the side profiles look real
-
That's a very Nice rendition Chris!
-
Looking Sasweet Dave!!
-
They are looking good from here Mike kinda hard to see the rivets but once the paint happens should be good to go,
-
I seen something on YT a couple months back from Academy about this kit all I could think/say they out did themselves on this one.
-
Thanks Alan I am glad I stuck it out.The very last piece of LGDoor was about to be added again it went for the floor I never heard it hit the floor for 10 minutes I looked to no avail!I said no way but I did it anyway took off the shoe it fell in the hole of my work shoe(1" hole) I went WTH Well you know we had that discussion paint or metal and across other boards all said orders were Silver Dope.🤨 The pics I saw the more I am thinking the a mix make it look like the pic was all I could strive for she real close. Thank You Ship appreciate the compliment means much Sir! I have been watching that they are working with one in the UK that looks to be a flyer also methinks it's a Mk-II(?)swapping parts and an engine some where's in the action. Thanks Ken I have been pushing myself pushing myself of late on weathering and such baby steps unlike Doc Rob well he goes full tilt I think his brain is just a little bit bigger than mine.
-
Thanks Craig at the end of the build patience was running thin. Sir..you do not know the struggles to resist shiny but then I said make it look like the picture. That they are AJ thinking of doing another Mk VI I have this kit pegged now. Thank You OC I now make a shiny model F-106
