  1. Looks excellent, Rob! I' ve never heard of using metal pigments on painted lg parts... but damn, I like the results. That canopy residue... could it be from the Flory washes? It certainly looks like dirt in the photos. I have learned the hard way to avoid anything that can use capillary around/even near masking. I attached the masked and painted windscreen of an FW 190 with Tamiya extra thin, and made certain to avoid getting near the unpainted area. But still, Mr. Tamiya found a way to get under my mask and ruin a pane. I was devastated.
  2. Merry Christmas MoFo's!
  3. Nice solution, Chris. Happy holiday season to you, too.
  4. Congrats, Peter! She looks beautiful!
  5. Rivet testing. Hoped to use the beading tool, but the straight lines I wanted failed to materialize. So, had to go with the 'hole-making' rivet wheel.
  6. Great review. Interesting surfaces on the wings. Thanks!
  7. Very nice finish, John! You snuck this one by me. I came looking for it when I realized you'd changed over to a Stang.
  8. I like that chipping, Rob. I have some of those pencils, but here is my experience: Dry pencils, means nothing sticks to the paint. Pencils dipped in water go dull so fast that I cannot make fine marks. Or perhaps it is my surface? On aircraft, I work with a polished surface as much as I can. How do you do it?
  9. Go Harv, go!
  10. Martin, once again you earn your crown as the king of research photos.
  11. Glad to see you back on this, Harv. If you get the HGW set, make sure they are for the specific model you are making. I bought a set for the Hasegawa G6 and they didn't fit the ZM g6 well at all.
  12. That looks very fine, Rob! Those washes really did a nice job.
  13. They could appear on any unpainted surface. So, if you were doing a plane with some damage, these could appear on the interior sheet aluminum parts.
  14. The Dragon SdKfz 250/11 continues. I kitted out the interior per the kit instructions and weathered it. But the crew will obscure most details. But here I have proof. Once I get the top of the machine glued down I can start to adjust the poses of the riders.
  15. I agree, Chris. Your work is stellar.
  16. Nice progress... that is an ambitious stretch.
  17. Peter, glad to see you making progress on finish and trouble areas. You didn't miss out on anything by not building the Trumpeter p-40. Junk. As always... looking forward to your next update.
  18. More nice painting and stenciling, Rob. I found aligning the stencils was the most painful part. Actually had to repaint one of them on my 109.
