    Thanks to some superglue and hardener the landing gear has been repaired!! However I still hate sanding seams lines!!
  2. RalphSarc
    So I did it, lol!!! Broke off one of the main gear while sanding the damn belly seams!!! Did I say I hate seams work???
  3. RalphSarc
    Thanks Dennis. The main gear was a bit fiddly however the rest of the build was pretty straightforward.

    Thanks it was fun using a few new techniques especially the rust effects on the exhaust along with added the mud!
  5. RalphSarc
    Oh thanks. It was a fun kit to experiment with a few new techniques!

    After what seemed like a life time I finally sat down at my bench this afternoon and finished my Meng 1/35 Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger (Porsche Turret) German Heavy Tank. I had heard a lot of negative press regarding this kit but I enjoyed the build and highly recommended the kit.

    Finished my Revell 1/32 British Martlet Mk.V this evening. The kit can either be built as a US Navy F4F-4 or as a British Martlet Mk.V. Mold was dated 1992. Great kit, easy build and recommended.

    Sanding, sanding and more sanding of seams!!! No wonder I love armor builds so much!!! Sanding seams sucks the life blood out of a person, lol!!!

    Finished the engine build in step 1. I have to say a Trumpeter instructions suck. With the lack of written instruction the assemble is left up to the builders complete visual interpretation. I’m not really sure if the exhaust manifolds are assembled correctly so we’ll see a bit further down the road when the engine is installed in the fuselage.

    You’re very welcome.

    Oh thanks I enjoyed the build.

    Fiddly ill-fitting exhaust manifolds play this afternoon. Not at the least bit impressed!!
  13. RalphSarc
    Well like I said to a friend paint will hide a multitude of sins but I like the detail. Now on to assembling the engine exhaust.

    Completed the main character in my planned 1/35 Tamiya German SturmTiger 38cm Assault Mortar Field Maintenance Depot Diorama this morning. Stretch my skill set by opening the superstructure to expose some scratch building, interior spaces and mortar. I was a bit apprehensive on doing so in the beginning but pleased with the results.

    Revell 1/35 SpaePz LUCHS. Mojo building fun complete. Another inexpensive nicely engineered Revell armor kit.
  16. RalphSarc
    Really nicely done. Love the sharks mouth!!

    Thanks Harv.
  18. RalphSarc
    Thanks Harv. I appreciate it.

    It does indeed. I built as it came out of the box but PE hand rails etc would have enhanced the detail. However it was a great kit to build straight from the box.

    My first ship build completed in 2018 was HMCS SNOWBERRY. This Revell 1/144 Flower Class Corvette is a must build kit and is highly recommended for any ship/boat builder. Enjoy.

    Interesting. I would have assume that any small arms fire would only leave negligible marks!! However those marks add a bit of interest to our models.
  22. RalphSarc
    Wow amazing detail. I’m envious as that fiddly work would drive me crazy!
  23. RalphSarc
    No tail sitter here!!!
  24. RalphSarc
    Okay I got excited and installed the main gear!!! What have I done, lol!!!
  25. RalphSarc
    Good point!! I usually wait to add gear, panels, antennas etc until the very end of a build!! Just got excited on this one, lol!!!
