Grant Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Hi Grant, Thank you! It's true though. What i lack in social skills I try to make up for with painting tiny leather seats. The fabric itself are decals that are supplied in the HGW set. The wash i used around the eyelets is Vallejo water based wash. Amazing stuff and i like the way it dries better than oil washes. Much easier to control. Eehhhm.... Ah yes. Gaspatch. Great item. They're also brining out a Vickers machine gun soon. Yeah well, we all make allowances for your social skills Do you thin the Vallejo wash? if so, with what ? (I've got some but am unsure how it's used) GasPatch are certainly one of the top breakthrough manufacturers this year in my opinion, for what that's worth. They've spotted some crucial areas where a decent, useful, product can be created and become essential for the modeller to have. I've seen a sample of their Lewis gun in that unmentionable scale so if their Vickers matches the detail and sharpness of that then we're all going to be happy. Cheers!

Hi Grant, I use water to dilute the wash. But on one occasion i used spit. Just because i was too lazy to walk down to the bathroom.
Grant Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 But on one occasion i used spit. Ah! there's the suave sophisticated Jeroen we all know 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 25, 2013 Author Administrators Posted August 25, 2013 If it's any help... I use it to turn pages too 1

coolboxx Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 What a great start will be watching this little baby
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 31, 2013 Author Administrators Posted August 31, 2013 Thnx guys, Made some progress on the pit and engine: 3
Administrators James H Posted August 31, 2013 Administrators Posted August 31, 2013 Such great work, and you did a seriously good job of hiding that seam where the fuel fillers are. Many thumbs up here!
Grant Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Very nice Jeroen .. the tank Can I also say you have very big hands...is that ok to say ;-)Martin He must have .. that model is 1:16th !!! Great progress Jeroen. Really looking forward to seeing this coming together.
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 1, 2013 Author Administrators Posted September 1, 2013 Felt sober enough to fiddle with the LMG 08/15's. Combination of Master brass barrels and HGW photo etch. Only needs the sights, but i will install those after painting. 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 7, 2013 Author Administrators Posted September 7, 2013 Thnx Dave! Some HGW stuck to some panels:
Administrators James H Posted September 7, 2013 Administrators Posted September 7, 2013 I can't believe you stayed sober long enough to do that. Looking real good. Do you reckon the HGS metal surface details are better than the moulded detail?
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 7, 2013 Author Administrators Posted September 7, 2013 Hi James, The HGW (HGS??.. I'll blame it on your fruit cider) adds just the sharpness you want. I like it. Hi Martin, The show is tomorrow, at Mol (near Antwerp). I'll do a report! Here's the radiator with the excellent Radu PE upgrade. WnW feature square mesh, whereas it should be honeycomb. Get yours at Arrow-wolf.com.
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 8, 2013 Author Administrators Posted September 8, 2013 Fuse buttoned up!
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 8, 2013 Author Administrators Posted September 8, 2013 And some chipping: 1
Administrators James H Posted September 8, 2013 Administrators Posted September 8, 2013 Putting me to shame again. This is coming along so quickly, and still to your usual standard. No rig either!
Wingco57 Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 Jeroen, That's quick, I see you couldn't wait to try the new colour? Cees 1
Grant Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 Have you been at the Red Bull again? Amazing speed of build Jeroen! This isn't meant to be a plug for Arrow Wolf's services but those radiator covers from Radu are seriously effective aren't they? They look amazing, as does HGW's detail parts - especially on the guns, just love the addition of a cocking handle.
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 9, 2013 Author Administrators Posted September 9, 2013 Hi Cees, That's right! Nice deep shiny red. Until I'm finished with it. Then it will be a greasy, exhaust stained red Hi Grant, The radiator mesh is just too easy to install and is a great improvement.
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 10, 2013 Author Administrators Posted September 10, 2013 Fuse closed! HGW stitching glued to the bottom and around the entry of the control cables in the rear-fuse.
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 15, 2013 Author Administrators Posted September 15, 2013 Some progress made. Some boo boo's made too. I glued the pit frame to the side wall, slightly off. Then noticed my engine panels didn't fit properly. Took it all apart and started over.
Administrators James H Posted September 15, 2013 Administrators Posted September 15, 2013 What way did they not fit? Looking real good from here.
