Ah my mistake, decided to do more gap work on the wings and main body and my gun snapped off.. guess I will have to roll a new one, but I will save that for last!

 

[Trebor]

ok, guys, I've finally found a job, so it'll be a little bit before my bird is done.

 

[A4K]

Good one Rob, I'm pleased for ya! Much nicer modelling knowing you can keep the roof over your head...!

 

[Wayne Little]

Good stuff and good luck Rob!

 

[Lucky13]

Glad to hear Rob, well done!

As for "multi kitting", I do it keep my hands off while paint, glue etc. dries. Will do the same in this GB.

With aall here..Nice.

Tomahawk has been gloss coated, hand painted the camo since I am low on tamiya tape and its 1/72, no need to frustrate myself with cutting itty bitty shapes over a $5 kit.

Just picked up two new models from a charity shop in Yeovil, in A1 condition boxed, HobbyBoss FW190D-9 and P40M Warhawk 1/72 scale, £2.50 each...Bargin

Tomahawk has dull cote but it is still wet. The sun went to sleep so the drying time doubled, should be done tomorrow.. I am thinking over some weathering ideas and such, almost there.

 

[Trebor]

thanks a lot for the kind wishes, guys. I'm working at a car wash right now and I instantly fell in love with it the very first day. I love the hands-on work, I love washing and drying cars, I love the tips, but I hate riding my bloody bike to work. XD I make $8.50 an hour

Some pics soon then?

 

[Maglar]

Patience padawan! I am going to weather it then post it completed.. I want to keep you hanging off your seat somewhat, I think it came out really well, I nailed the shark mouth!

 

[Wayne Little]

Ok.....hanging.....prefer Jedi Master myself!

 

[muller]

Got the M41 sprayed olive drab and decaled, more painting going on right now, all those wheels are a bit tedious!

 

[Wurger]

Looking very good.

Cheers Wojtek

I lost an aerial to the carpet-monster, need to try and scratchbuild a new one. Been reading up on some armour weathering techniques, looking forward to trying them.

 

[Wurger]

Yep... it is quite common that the carpet-monster "devours" model parts, especially these small.

 

[Lucky13]

Looks great M!

 

[muller]

Ok, I tried one of those weathering techniques I read about, a sandy colour wash over the whole thing with some Tamiya buff highly thinned in IPA, it took a fair bit of paint off! Should I have used white spirit? I dry-brushed the bad bits with some olive drab, she's looking fairly tired now!
