semorebutts Posted February 3, 2019 Author #1142 Posted February 3, 2019 Hey guys, I basically did all I can do on the Arados before painting ( i need paint) Theres this huge hobby store 30 min away from me(hobby emporium) that im going to visit. It does not open till noon. That means I won’t be airbrushing today. Heres what I did so far. Assembled the 2 cockpits and canopies. assembled what plastics I could. But then I changed my mind. Instead of having both planes with wings folded I’m going to have one with wings out. I have already cut the wings so I had to glue them back together on one of the planes. thats it for now. Oh I know what I can do while I wait for the store to open. Paint and assemble the new radar to replace the one that broke 4 months ago. I guess i will be airbrushing today 😀 Canute, egkb, jablackwell and 13 others 16 Quote

semorebutts Posted February 9, 2019 Author #1150 Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Work continues today. The planes dollys are folded and soon to be painted...grey? next i installed the planes cockpits ya know what... in the spirit of getting this done and since the other side of the ship wont be veiwable I think I might just do 1 arado. anyhoo the paint is ready to go. I hope model air airbrushes ok. I started to bounce around. I cut out and folded the stairways. And some life rings to possibly go ontop of the launches. thats about it for today. Oh and my new favorite tool. These toe nail clippers are wonderfull! untill tomorrow... Edited February 9, 2019 by semorebutts lmagna, yvesvidal, Haliburton and 11 others 14 Quote

lmagna Posted February 13, 2019 #1166 Posted February 13, 2019 Great look. Question though. If you had only put the foil on one half of the flag decal and folded the other side onto the back side of the foil would it have been too thin to hold the wave shape after molding? semorebutts, mtaylor, Old Collingwood and 2 others 5 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey
semorebutts Posted February 14, 2019 Author #1167 Posted February 14, 2019 I think so. Even with 2 layers of foil it didn’t want to hold a position. I almost had to pinch the folds to hold it in position. I dont know if theres differences in foil thicknesses but the foil I used was nice and thin. mtaylor, lmagna, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote
mtaylor Posted February 14, 2019 #1168 Posted February 14, 2019 The flag looks great. The foil trick blew me away as the only way I've ever done flags is to fold, put onto a piece of "shaped" (for lack of a better word) foil and then paint profusely several times with 50/50 mix of white glue and water. popeye the sailor, Canute, semorebutts and 2 others 5 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)
lmagna Posted February 14, 2019 #1169 Posted February 14, 2019 Thanks semore Mark Do you think that coating with glue/water softens the flag enough so that it is not as stiff as semore's method of folding the dry flag over the glue/foil? popeye the sailor and Canute 2 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey
