Grant Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Hi Grant, Thank you! It's true though. What i lack in social skills I try to make up for with painting tiny leather seats. The fabric itself are decals that are supplied in the HGW set. The wash i used around the eyelets is Vallejo water based wash. Amazing stuff and i like the way it dries better than oil washes. Much easier to control. Eehhhm.... Ah yes. Gaspatch. Great item. They're also brining out a Vickers machine gun soon. Yeah well, we all make allowances for your social skills Do you thin the Vallejo wash? if so, with what ? (I've got some but am unsure how it's used) GasPatch are certainly one of the top breakthrough manufacturers this year in my opinion, for what that's worth. They've spotted some crucial areas where a decent, useful, product can be created and become essential for the modeller to have. I've seen a sample of their Lewis gun in that unmentionable scale so if their Vickers matches the detail and sharpness of that then we're all going to be happy. Cheers!

Hi Grant, I use water to dilute the wash. But on one occasion i used spit. Just because i was too lazy to walk down to the bathroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 1, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted September 1, 2013 Felt sober enough to fiddle with the LMG 08/15's. Combination of Master brass barrels and HGW photo etch. Only needs the sights, but i will install those after painting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators James H Posted September 7, 2013 Administrators Share Posted September 7, 2013 I can't believe you stayed sober long enough to do that. Looking real good. Do you reckon the HGS metal surface details are better than the moulded detail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 7, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted September 7, 2013 Hi James, The HGW (HGS??.. I'll blame it on your fruit cider) adds just the sharpness you want. I like it. Hi Martin, The show is tomorrow, at Mol (near Antwerp). I'll do a report! Here's the radiator with the excellent Radu PE upgrade. WnW feature square mesh, whereas it should be honeycomb. Get yours at Arrow-wolf.com.

Wingco57 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Jeroen, That's quick, I see you couldn't wait to try the new colour? Cees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Have you been at the Red Bull again? Amazing speed of build Jeroen! This isn't meant to be a plug for Arrow Wolf's services but those radiator covers from Radu are seriously effective aren't they? They look amazing, as does HGW's detail parts - especially on the guns, just love the addition of a cocking handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 9, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted September 9, 2013 Hi Cees, That's right! Nice deep shiny red. Until I'm finished with it. Then it will be a greasy, exhaust stained red Hi Grant, The radiator mesh is just too easy to install and is a great improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 10, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted September 10, 2013 Fuse closed! HGW stitching glued to the bottom and around the entry of the control cables in the rear-fuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 15, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted September 15, 2013 Some progress made. Some boo boo's made too. I glued the pit frame to the side wall, slightly off. Then noticed my engine panels didn't fit properly. Took it all apart and started over.
