Nice assortment there Rob. I'd be curious to see what the Salvino's kit is like. Looks like they could be nice.
-
Glad to hear you have power back Scott. Chris, hopefully your cousins aren't too far behind that and get help and power back too.

Hubert, thanks for the description of the various steps involved. We recently got a Bambu Labs A1 which is a filament printer. Our youngest has been having fun downloading and printing files that are ready made. Hopefully he gets into the design side of things and he can learn how to make his own stuff.

At the moment, sometime next year.

Amazing work Hubert. You make designing and printing your own parts look so easy.

Special Hobby 1/32 -Tempest Mk.VI -Egypt 1949-Finnished
BlrwestSiR replied to KevinM's topic in The Sandbox Group Build.
Very nice cockpit Kevin. I didn't know there was a Tempest VI, just the V and the II. Carl -
That looks really nice there Rog. Great to see so much progress on your place.

Tamiya 1/32 F4U-1D/FG-1D Corsair
BlrwestSiR replied to JohnB's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Disappointing that the checkerboard aren't included. Hopefully you can come up with a workable solution. I checked out the link and there is a small blurb that says no checkerboard included. But easy enough to miss. You have to click on Item Description from the seller and then it pops up. -
Yes, it's Tamiya's version of Mr Color Leveling Thinner. Works pretty much the same way. I didn't know Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner cleans off CA. I'll have to try that next time.
-
Odd about the white. I haven't had that happen before. Whenever one of the local shops does a sale, I stock up on thinner and cleaner. I think I'm good for a bit. I used to use Mr Color Tool Cleaner but the price doubled so Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner it is. As for new stuff, I got a book to help with building the big Trumpeter Jagdtiger kit.

Paul, I see you buy Tamiya supplies the same way I do.
-
Big Mac is one of the planes I'd like to build.
-
Wow, you can really see the water level change.
-
Stunning detail on that rotor hub.
-
Someone on LSP mentioned that there should be an announcement tomorrow at the Eduard show. So here's hoping.
-
Looks great there Dave. Nice to see you're making some nice progress.

There's a post over on Britmodeler saying that Eduard has announced a new tool P-51B in 1/32 for next year. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235145368-eduard-new-tool-p-51bc-in-32nd-scale/ Anyone else have any additional information? If true, I'd be up for at least a couple. Csrl

Wow Scott, hopefully that's the worst of it for you. Stay safe in the meantime. Carl

1/32 Hawker Tempest
BlrwestSiR replied to JeroenPeters's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
An incredible amount of quality work there Jeroen. How much of the and cockpit did you need to sand back for things to fit? -
Anyone else catch the announcement by Zactomodels?
BlrwestSiR replied to ScottsGT's topic in Modelling Discussion
It's a sad one that's for sure. Chris made some very nice products, just like Harold did. Tim, I'm glad you were able to at least pick up the AMS. line. I hear you about not enough time in the day or week to get everything done. -
Some great photos there. Thanks so much for sharing them Maru!
-
Nice bunch of kits there Dave. I have the HpH catapult as well, likewise for when I build my Arado. I still need to get a Meteor for the Fisher F8 conversion I have in the stash.

Peter, I'm using a pick up pencil for the really small PE bits. It's like a regular pencil but instead of lead, it has a slightly tacky centre. Just touch the PE but and it'll pick it up. Then position it and the surface tension from the CA is usually enough to unstick the part from the pencil. It helps keep parts from doing the 100cm tweezer long jump.
