scorpiomikey Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Well, im starting this thread so i can carry on where i left off before the dark days. Ill update with pics soon. Tried mounting the engine, that things tighter than a nuns lady bits. I figured the easiest way to do it was to mount the engine and tail wheel. Button it up then pass the pit up through the wing cavity. Ill be leaving the cowl off, it simply doesnt fit over the engine.
scorpiomikey Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 James, its 1:48. Kojo, i thought that might be the case, but i think leaving it off might look better. Ill make that decision last, i don't have to decide right now.
scorpiomikey Posted March 3, 2013 Author Posted March 3, 2013 I suppose i can post a few pictures. . Sorry about the poor image quality, the camera on my phone is starting to fail. For the important stuff ill use my DSLR but these kinda updates i just use my phone which is ok for now. So this is where im up to. With medical issues at home and a new fitness regime its difficult to find time to model. Ill get there though. 2
scorpiomikey Posted March 3, 2013 Author Posted March 3, 2013 Have you ever looked at the blury unfocused background of your photos and thought "...what the hell is that?"
CallSignOWL Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Have you ever looked at the blury unfocused background of your photos and thought "...what the hell is that?" umm....not really
scorpiomikey Posted March 4, 2013 Author Posted March 4, 2013 Cheers peoples. Might take a night off and do some work on it tonight.
scorpiomikey Posted March 4, 2013 Author Posted March 4, 2013 Small update. None of its glued. Alot of its so tight its nearly a snaptight kit. The flash has washed alot of colour out. But im getting there slowly.
scorpiomikey Posted March 4, 2013 Author Posted March 4, 2013 So a quick note, i was right, it was easier to button up the fuselage then mount the pit. But i forgot the tail wheel. Hopefully that will be an easy fix. 1
scorpiomikey Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 Hopefuly if SOMEONE doesnt end up in hospital again tonight, i should get some more done. Also heres hoping my carbon cub in microsoft flight doest distract me lol. 1
scorpiomikey Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 The carbon cub won. Still no progress, but if the rest of the kit is as easy as the wings and tail, ill be making ALOT of progress this weekend.
scorpiomikey Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 Holy Crap, an update! I painted the wings. A few touch ups needed. But i need more masking tape first. The paint job should be finished next weekend. If i push i should get it done this week so ive got plenty of time to plan zombilicious. 1
scorpiomikey Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 Cheers, the key is to use a large very soft brush with long even strokes and move quickly. If you stuff it up, let it dry before you try and fix it.
scorpiomikey Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 Thanks Kojo, im currently saving up for an airbrush and compressor. Hopefully it doesnt ruin my brush painting skills.
Grant Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I agree with KoJo - hand brushing is an art in itself. Looks good Mikey.
scorpiomikey Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 Cheers for the comps guys. I got a it done over the weekend, but nothing pic worthy, just tidying up thin paint etc.
