1/32 P.1101 at Oberammergau / Build review
BlrwestSiR replied to JeroenPeters's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Whoa... -
I picked up some supplies recently. Bits for the Dspiae rotary tool. Tape dispenser On the model side of things, a couple kits for Christmas. Pacific Rim is most likely our youngest's favourite movie so when Max Factory announce they were going re-pop these kits, I put in a pre-order. Finally, one for me. Turns out I got the limited edition kit that's numbered so now I might have to find a regular one.

Those Bandai Star Wars kits are fantastic. I've done a few, including the PG Millennium Falcon and the Tie Advanced. Carl -

It's like you can design these things in CAD faster than I can glue a couple parts together. Simply amazing. Carl -
Do they make one for a 2025 Sienna? Asking for a friend.

Wow, the Whirlwind is barely into the display cabinet and you're onto the next masterpiece. Carl -

The tracks do look good there Paul. So worth the effort. It's a small tank, that's for sure. Carl -
You should LS swap it

Since you asked so nicely and I happen to have a Revell kit in the stash, I took it out to compare them. Well, at least the engines anyways.

My '02 Civic had a rake to it. It was unintentional at first. Lowering springs hadn't come out yet for the EP3 Civic at the time Soni used ones for a DC5 Integra. They share the same chassis but obviously had enough differences for me to end up with a rake. Later when I went to full coil overs, I had it set up that way since I liked the look.

1/32 Westland Whirlwind
BlrwestSiR replied to JeroenPeters's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Wow, absolutely stunning. -
Thanks @Martinnfb! Some great photos. That's a lot of exhaust staining I'm going to have to deal with. I think the second pic is <||. Or looks that way to me.

There's an option to have the rear tail plane pael for the tail wheel open and all the internal details are provided. Same with the radio hatch. And of course the gun bays and engine panels.
-
While the engine dried, I jumped a couple steps ahead and stared on the main wing with the inner frame. The two halves are joined together with the main spar. The centre part of the leading edge/MLG is a single part. Certainly a unique parts breakdown. It fit perfectly onto the spar.
-
I started on the paint work for the next set of parts. This being the pushrods, intake ring and the engine rear bit. They were all painted black first and then I added the detail painting. The pushrods were added first. Followed by the intake ring.
-
Thanks for the input folks. Still a bit to go before I get to the markings stage so I guess I have time to decide. I have to say that painted over stencils is very appealing.
-
Lovely build there PW. The weathering looks so realistic especially the mud on the back of the hull.

Thanks Paul! I have the Passion Models detail set for the kit. It's 3D printed like the T-REX one. The Bronco indie link tracks don't quite fit the Tamiya kit so good thing you have the Fruil ones. The other bit of AM I'm using is the DEF Models mantlet with the canvas cover. -

My sister's dog is a 20lb at most Munsterlander. She's actually managed to catch squirrels while being walked on leash. Meantime, the best our dog Jimmy has done is step on a Chihuahua that was annoying him. -

Sunny's last kill was a rabbit. I had to bury it as I didn't think he was going to be able to eat it. At least not without making a bloody mess. -

Gus, it's going together like a dream. The tracks are link and length and they even keyed the upper run so that they all line up. There's a few simplified details but I have the Passion Models detail set to improve some of that.
