Melb Model Expo (2008)

[Wayne Little]

and here is another SM82 in this class, very much the same....

Aw, shucks Guys..

Thanks, appreciate your comments!!

Couple more...

Got no words Wayne....AMAZING!!!

 

[Catch22]

Identical pretty much.

 

[Wurger]

Now I agree with Catch22.

 

[Wayne Little]

If you look closely you can see that the modeller of the first SM82 is more skilled with the application of the camo and has applied an excellent tight spray pattern.

 

[Catch22]

Yeah, I noticed that. Also, the panel lines are shaded on the first one, and the cowling looks better.

 

[Matt308]

Wow, Wayne you are right about the camo. However, having been on the end of that stick, getting camo down for different scales is difficult. Other than the paint blend, the build is nicely done.

What caught my eye was the seem between fuselage and wing joint on the second model.

But then again.. I can only wish to build such beauties. Well done gents.

 

[Screaming Eagle]

nice! and nice new siggy catch!

 

[Wurger]

Anyway both models look very nice.

 

[Wayne Little]

Agreed they do both look good, it was a simple case of comparing the same model done by modellers with different skill levels and methods to achieve a result.

 

[Wurger]

Therefore there are competitions organized.

Wayne: What do you/they use for the non-skid walk area at the wing root ?

Well, some kits will have them as a decal which makes it real easy.While most paint and mask the area.

You can do it in the early stages and then place a mask over it and leave it until the end to be removed or mask it off in the later stage and carefully spray it as one of the last painting jobs you do...

A couple of questions for you Wayne.
1.What do the judges look for in a model?
ie, What separates 1st from 2nd
2.Where do we find information on up and coming modeling competitions in OZ?

 

[Wayne Little]

Switcha,I will scan tomorrow and post the Melbourne Expo score sheet, this will give you an indication of what the judges are looking for.

Model comp info in Qld only or interstate?

 

[Wayne Little]

Score sheet detail....

 

[Switcha]

Mostly curious as to how many modeling competions are out there. Both Hainus myself are in Emerald so the nearest decent airport is 300km away in Rockhampton, they had a modeling competion there this year but we found out about it the day before it started. Brisbane is a possibility but other cities are pipe dreams for the moment.

Thanks for the judging sheet. I always wanted to know what the criteria was.

Cheers Switch
