That is a flawless paint John I do not know if you were trying or not but looks ever so worn/faded like it's been at service best a couple of months to the S.Pacific sun.

The Scharnhorst 1/200 by Trumpter-Operation Paderborn
KevinM replied to KevinM's topic in Non LSM 'WIP
Guy the two I have are below "The anatomy of a ship" is a must for building .The other book showed me that Trumpter based the Sharnhorst model off the Gneisenau kit with minor changes if that the most glaring obstacle being lookout deck.I use "The Anatomy of a Ship" just about every step now really a great reference. -
It's definitely not a hobby anymore for me but a PIA working/repairs on cars.I think it was last Wednesday my ignition switch quit working on my 89 F-150 no biggee drop the column put it in 20 minutes of work right?Well I have had this truck since 2016 had 82K original miles then never knew I had tilt steering I be dam if the ignition lock actuator broke,now that 20m job turns into 2/3 hrs Now get this on Friday the P/S in my wife's SUV goes out I just paid $250 labor and parts back in September because it's a PIA to change on V-6 Escape.I got a new pump through work and about 10hrs later of labor I finally got it finished very high cuss factor.I had two vehicles go down down in like 48hrs days before Christmas and my weeks vacation coming up what a pisser.I figure I got 12/20hrs labor on the F-150 this week some basic BS plugs/oil but also rear brakes,door lock actuators and the ignition switch actuator that's buried inside the column.I like older vehicles and trucks when it comes to working on them anything beyond like 2000/up is a PIA well the hard one is done fix the F-150 I like that old truck just wish I had a 4sp Top-Loader.PIC ign.actuator.

They all look great Peter but you know as much as we like to bash Revell sometimes once completed hard to tell the difference in the MK1/MKII

KevinM replied to Martinnfb's topic in General Discussion
We had a really Nice/Quiet Christmas spent money on or nieces/nephews had dinner at a relatives house(TG was or house).The kids eyes lighting up was all I really needed the Wife/I opted out for each other this year after 40yrs together? our Son coming was all we really needed hopefully next month?Some cool stuff there guys and Ernie my wife would go crazy with that in the Spring time when those critters start digging in her flower beds.I see it now 430 f/s just enough to sting the crap out of them. -

Just Crazy Peter!!!Beautiful workmanship. -
That's pretty cool and coming from a fella who's had 7 yrs in an automotive machine shop and another 3o+ in the parts business.I have a tough time getting excited enough to post on vehicles these days but the build and weathering look legit.The other thing was the windshield/wiper effect?cool! and the front bumper rocksalt rust eater effect.

I agree Peter I had French some 40 years ago for four semesters could read it OK and comprehend most at that time not so much anymore but I caught the drift,conversation just listening.I listened to a fella today a Heavy Metal singer do his rendition of "Amazing Grace" except for one small part were I thought the voice was to strong the rest was magnificent,soft and powerful.I like most that commented said is may be the best rendition out there maybe being it was like no other.
