I'm still at the tripple AA's, can do but a few a day, sometimes none, cause they give me a bl**din' headache, which I cannot use presently - neither at work, nor at home - so you will have to do with the other builds I'm at which are not swamped by those iniminitiny parts

Working on stuff that tiny, I'd recommend about 30 minutes and switch off to bigger stuff. Can't work too well when you're cross-eyed.

Than I should stop all together ... just pulling your leg. I know about the timeframe, but even that is to long presently, so I'll just take it very slow, like  a threehunderd year old turtle at strolling snail pace

I find magnifiers are my friend for detail work, but as the others.. I limit my time.

Hang in there Carl; you know the saying "when the going gets...." ;):)  I am sure you will get through them with the appropriate doses of 'rum' and 'lash' :)

Hello Carl

 

Wow what a build, things have changed since I did plastic kits.

Sorry I am late in following your build as you know I have just started building.

 

It has been a long time posting, hope you are going to start your fantastic model again soooooooooooooooon.

 

Jo.

Current Build:

IL Leudo - Mamoli - 1:34

Thanks for your interest Jo.

 

Indeed, there are so many "addons" in brass, metal, resin, etc which gives this type of model building a whole new dimension, besides the developments in painting, and weathering ... it isn't just plastic anymore, a whole new ball game

 

It has been a long time ... it will revive, the log, I just need a pair of macro eyes screwed in my head with all the tiny stuff which is still to be done, and replacement parts for my lower back, but it will happen

Thanks Jo. Sorry to hear about your father, my belated condolences. You should build the Blower. Lovely car, although, I am biased, I love British racing cars, and two seaters. You should have a look at the tutorials from this bloke you might find some interesting information for plastic car builds
