    I know I've already said this David, but that is one seriously outstanding build. I knew you were a little hacked off with having to do that scheme, but you nailed it, especially that reworked cockpit area. You should have cast that in resin. I might even have considered that scheme myself.

    Lovely work as per usual David. Are those rivet decals you used in there too? That Uschi wood decal is awesome. Which set did you use for that?
  3. James H
    The ZM review will be online here either late tonight, or tomorrow. It is scheduled for midnight tonight GMT. You can build a seriously nice kit OOB, but the sets are the cherry if you want the extra expense.

    Different manufacturers who use Cartograf for their decals do so with their own specifications. For example, I've just finished writing the review for the new Zoukei-mura He 219A-0 kit, and this has decals by Cartograf, as opposed to the awful Japanese-made ones. The decals are superb, but the film/printing is thicker than that requested regularly by European manufacturers. The Japanese must just like it this way. Still....they are a vast improvement over the previous releases, but my review doesn't test a decal to check anything out..

    Happy Birthday Martin!!!! One of the hardest members of LSM?

    I'd opt for one of these in 1:32 or 1:24............seriously! Pou du Ciel
  7. James H
    Don't tell me...you want me to build a 1:1, and use Uschi decal?
  8. James H
    Hi Alex, I sure will. I'm going to hand brush a couple of very light coats, of 50:50 Klear/water, just so it imparts a sheen and lete me add some wash. Should look real good.

    It's decal-o-rama! Hardly a single area will be uncovered..

    I thought I'd add a few bits and bobs into the cockpit and try to get some images which show the wood grain a little better, so here goes. Placards by Airscale. Yes, even though this was a disposable aircraft, I thought I'd still add a few. Got to say, Uschi was right....I'm really liking this build. I may even do another at some stage, with 50% timber, 50% in scheme.

    You should seriously look at having your stuff kitted in resin. I'd most certainly build one of these. Exceptional.

    I go away for a few hours and come back to not one, but THREE stunning scratch built models. I've never seen a 3D printer being used so comprehensively as to tackle a complete skeletal structure. This is just amazing. I hope you'll treat us to more of this style of construction. You're already on my Christmas card list!
  13. James H
    Oh my Lord! The stuff you're showing, and the tips.....it's pure gold dust. Just watching the way you tackle these various assemblies is excellent. It makes me look at things in a different light.
  14. James H
    Seriously.....WOW!!! This has to be one of the finest, and most unusual scratch-build projects I've ever seen. I wish I was as comfortable in doing something like this, and you make it look effortless. I could read a whole book of stuff like this. An absolute inspiration! Many thanks for sharing, and welcome to LSM..... :respect: :respect: :respect:

    I love the Ju 52.One of my favourite German types. I just wish I'd done more images, and taken them at better quality. Still.....there's next year
  16. James H
    Looking great! Do you never sleep?
  17. James H
    Lovely work. I really like the desert camo scheme on a Spit. You're putting all my unfinished projects to shame.
  18. James H
    Hi David, Yes, with current exchange rates, you're about on the nail. The sterling silver element of them will add to the cost, as well as the expense of the filament. I should be rolling these out (pun intended) on my Fokker D.VII in the next month or two.
  19. James H
    Again, apologies for a few ropey images. The cockpit was behind perspex, so difficult to photograph. Some great pics of the wing interior structure and the corrugated skin though
  20. James H
    You will next year. I presume you'll be going to Munich with us? Mid Aug 2014, roughly?
  21. James H
    now build it. ....now.
  22. James H
    Please excuse what is a combination of crappy photography and poor lighting which made things worse. I got permission to go 'under the wire' and do a few close-ups. Some nice turnbuckle info here. Enjoy!
  23. James H
    That just looks so frickin amazing! Only the Brits could produce something looking so utilitarian. Still say that's the best PC10 finish I've seen, and those racks are fantastic
  24. James H
    Thanks for the info Alex. I'll run a combination of those sequences and some smaller areas in similar colours over the exterior. Today I'll try and get the interior done, and if i pull my finger from my arse, the fuse sealed up.

    Looking damn good Cees
