  1. I had that idea too, some times. But then I came across heavy details or rather bare cockpits and all the good intentions were chucked away! Even if I know that a finely painted and lifelike weathered model draws more looks than a superbly detailed model of which the paintwork is just up to par...
  2. Very nice review, Nige! At the Flanders' Modelling Festival in Antwerp last March someone who was building the model mentioned that normal polystyrene glues didn't work on the plastic of his kit. Strange story, could you please glue some ports to see if there is truth in that statement? I can't really imagine it, but you never know...
  3. How many Eindeckers will be ready by the deadline? Or are there some people who could do with -let's say- a month extension of this GB?
  4. Oh drat! I thought I had till May 31st.... I don't think I'm gonna make it before the deadline... Ah well, I have it excavated again, I'll bloody well continue now! I...will...finish...a...kit...on...LSM....... Gharghllllll......
  5. Totally forgot to comment on the build...! You done good, Jeroen! Very nice Ultralight!
  6. Oh, yes! Almost done! *Grabs the box and tries to think how the cockpit parts fitted together again...!* Errrr, I excavated the kit and resumed work on the cockpit..... *Shame....*
  7. Jeroen, you & Cees going to MOVELEO next week? If so, can you bring that resin Fokker E.III engine cowl? Cheers, mate!
  8. Sorry to hear about the IP and rivets... Great painting on the pilot, though!
  9. Looks great, Doug!
  10. Very nice Swordfish, guy!!
  11. Oooh, those are nice, Brad! *Jealous*
  12. That's a good agreement! I'm sure it'll be difficult to change back to the culture of us brusque and thick gaijin but you don't have to start all over...
  13. Get away from that keyboard and build the friggin'thing! I wanna see progress!
  14. Oh, hey, there's an idea....
  15. Yeah, I totally agree! Would also be a good subject for Revell Germany since the Bundeswehr flew enough of those...
  16. For when you want to airbrush the model from one side of the room to the other...
  17. Don't forget that a friend of yours is kit-sitting 1 or 2 kits for you at home... Show that pic again, Paulster?
  18. Another method is the Flory weathering wash: http://www.florymodels.co.uk/weathering-wash/
  19. Does remind me of the Hasegawa catalogues of the early nineties where every model had it's panellines accentuated with black ink... I usually use a dark brownish or greyish wash of oil colour over the acrylic paintwork. But that naturally only works with recessed panellines. In any case, beware of too much contrast in your panellines, that makes the model look toy-like.
  20. Oh? I just thought you have HUGE hands...
  21. Good! Glad to see you have found a satisfying solution!
