ccoyle Posted January 22, 2022 Author #101 Posted January 22, 2022 The Big Reveal! All the last little bits have been successfully added. I'm quite pleased with how the propeller and its spinner turned out -- probably the best such work I have done. My new dapping tool set was a tremendous help for the task. Oddly, the instructions did not include any templates or parts for the 20 mm cannon barrels, so I made them from plastic rod and made an educated guess on their length. There are, of course, parts of this build that I think I could have done better, but the main objective was simply to finish a Halinski kit -- any Halinski kit -- and in that regard the build was a success. The Halinski Hurdle has been cleared! And I have to say that overall I feel pretty good about the finished product. Enjoy the pictures!

Egilman Posted January 23, 2022 #108 Posted January 23, 2022 Being very good with card to start with, I can say I'm seeing your techniques improving with each and every build you post here... Getting a Halinski from booklet to built model is an achievement in itself... I've tried several... Sometimes when I read the German papermodel forums, I get jealous, but they are the masters of the craft.... I think you belong in that club as well, at least knocking on the door.... with this example, they should let you in... This is a skill that few can master... what you guys do is majic pure majic.... Very well done...

ccoyle Posted January 23, 2022 Author #110 Posted January 23, 2022 1 hour ago, Egilman said: at least knocking on the door Believe it or not, I actually consider that high praise! 😉 And thanks to all for your kind comments. I was just sitting here thinking about how many models I have completed recently, so I decided to tally them up. In the two years since I moved into my current house, I have completed nine models -- ten, if we include the canoe, and, hey, it was a kit, so why not? For me, that total represents a rather astonishing burst of productivity, considering that I completed exactly zero kits during the five years prior to that. No wonder I feel like saying, "Whew!!"
