Battle damaged Ju-87 build....

Even cheap models can turn into eye openers Harrison.... Dont sell urself short when doin a kit, any kit... Make it the best u can, always trying to improve ur previous work....

The added accuracy of detailed refrences makes all the difference in the world....

I agree with that fully. Nothing to add.

Echo Wojtek's post!

 

[B-17engineer]

Well I guess I can agree but, only to an extent.

I was talking to Matt and he told me the best thing at my age is to keep building. Build some models and THEN become a perfectionist. I'd like to do that.

 

[Wurger]

I don't think it is the right path but the choice is yours.

 

[B-17engineer]

Ah...........................

 

[Maximowitz]

The way I see it is this. Kits are not cheap, nor are paints, glues, airbrushes and all the other stuff you need to do a build. Each kit therefore should be given 100% concentration and effort. Historical reference and research give you insight and make you a better modeller and historian.

So I echo Wurger echoing Les. Or something like that.

Just my shillings worth.

But .........Modeling should be fun.I still to this day grab some of the smaller scales for nothing more than to see the end result quickly with satisfaction.H has many more years ahead of him than we do that doesnt sound good does it. Kevin

Hunting as well. But going wrong path a hunter can cause much harm to the nature he can expect.

 

[Maximowitz]

I guess it's down to personal philosophy. But without discipline it is difficult to improve.

 

[Wurger]

That's true .

Someone once said, "It's such a pleasurable experience to look back, and all of the fun I had just comes rushing back. "

Oh well....I'll see how it goes....

Not to mention getting eaten by a bear.

 

[Wurger]

Being eaten by a bear is nothing comparing to being ****** by the animal. I know a nice joke about that.

Sorry Harry but it seems the thread can be hi-jacked by us.

So Gents , stop this now.

 

[B-17engineer]

Notttt a problem. I'm going to start another GB thread...

 

[Wurger]

So are you finished the model?

 

[B-17engineer]

May do some minor things today with it...but for the most part it's done.

 

[Wurger]

Nice.

 

[Night Fighter Nut]

Not too bad Harrison. Especially since you're experimenting with new techniques! Only $2.50 for the kit, that is cheap. Still, when building a model, the first most important thing to do is research your subject to the best of your abilities. Know where you're going before you begin the journey and everything will fall into place. I also think this forum would be a great place to ask for suggestions and guidance. I bet any one of the old timers would be more than willing to demonstrate how to achieve a particular effect.

Thanks! For the B-17 I started I want to make it really accurate
