Jack12477 Posted October 2, 2022 Share #1 Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) I've had this kit in my stash for quite a while. Decided to dig it out and work on it while I wile away time waiting for my left eye to heal from cataract surgery. It had the worst cataract, also worst myopia and astigmatism, so it was done first. Right eye dominates so it's been compensating even tho it has a cataract also. I hadn't planned on a build log so I never took all the opening photos. This is a very nicely done kit. It comes with a die-cast metal chassis which adds a bit of weight to the model. I'm brush painting it with Vallejo paints for now. I may finish it by airbrushing in end, all depends on what my doctor says. Okay! The box art and contents: Since I had already started I don't have a lot of photos. Below is the progress to-date: The nicks and dings in the paint will get retouched in due course.

Canute Posted October 3, 2022 Share #8 Posted October 3, 2022 I think your eyes will recover quickly. Mine did when I had the cataracts cleared up last year. And the build is interesting. Tamiya has done some of their newer kits with metal frames, etc. I have a 1/48 He-219 with the lower part of the cockpit as a metal weight. Good way to stop the dreaded taildragging tricycle gear aircraft. I'm researching paint schemes, since I don't really want to do a dark blotch over light blue scheme.

mtaylor Posted October 4, 2022 Share #23 Posted October 4, 2022 I've learned a couple of things with small PE that might help in the future. One is that I go barefoot when working with it. If you step on it, you know it. I have had carpet in my shops (spare bedrooms) so the bare feet aren't on a cold floor. The other is a small collection of small pliers with the "bent" tips and then a small amount of beeswax applied. The beeswax can easily be removed when done. Also, a few toothpicks with the ends coated in the beeswax. I've also learned that the Jedi mindtricks don't work at finding them. So skip that.

Different people paint the rest of the figures details in different ways but I try to do the fine details like belts etc first the the clothing and normaly kind of work downwards with shoes/boots last.

Jack12477 Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share #27 Posted October 5, 2022 Well, saw my eye surgeon this morning. Good news/Bad news: Good news is my left eye has healed well enough that he can now do the right eye, scheduled for next Monday, 10th. Bad news is my near vision, i.e from nose to arms length, will be shot. Will have to wait for both eyes to heal before he can prescribe new glasses for reading. But they did give me a pair of those OTC "cheaters" (2.50) which may work. 🤔 Meanwhile, I will continue to plod along as best I can.

Jack12477 Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share #29 Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Small update : After 2 primer coats on the figure, first black, then white over black, I hand brushed two coats of his uniform green and two coats of flat flesh. Still more too do on the figure, his uniform is camo, like paint splatter. 🤔 ⁹ painted interior of cab green gray. Still trying figure out how I want to approach painting exterior. chassis assembled with seats and undercarriage Stay tuned for the next installment of the One-Eyed Jack painting 😁😁 [the camera sees detail better than I do with magnification] Edited October 5, 2022 by Jack12477 CDW, Edwardkenway, mtaylor and 8 others 11 Quote Jack "No one is as smart as all of us" - Is ón cheann a thagann an cheird The craft comes from the head --------------------------------------------- Current build: US Constellation Non-ship builds: USCG UH-65A Dolphin M16 Multi-gun motor carriage diorama M4A3 Sherman Tanks dioramas 1936-1939 Mercedes Benz 540K 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II JSDF Light Armor Vehicle Figures: The Last Bridge: Raider Reaper Edge of Universe: Ianis The Last Bridge: Vadim with cart Completed build log(s): 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne, Willie L Bennett 1888 50 ft Gaff-rigged Ice Yacht Scratch Build The Sullivans (DD 537) Liberty Ship SS John W Brown USS England (DE 635), Artesania Latina Titanic Lifeboat Gallery: Swift , Armed Virginia Sloop, Santisima Trinidad Captain's Launch , 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne Other: Rhinebeck Aerodrome Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
