mikec Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Thanks much, Jerry ! I'm back in the hobby about 7 yrs now and this is my second build I did the Trump 105 and that took over 2 yrs.

harvey boyer Posted July 1, 2013 Author Posted July 1, 2013 OK, OK I touched it today ! Got the fiddly PE parts removed and folded. These are for the remaining 2 gear doors. I'll post more after there painted and weathered.............Harv
harvey boyer Posted July 19, 2013 Author Posted July 19, 2013 I don't know if you knew this or not, but I was back in the ER with another mild heart attack. I'm fine except for a bout of depression, witch is getting a bit better. So, I feel like I should get back to work on my P-38. Need some plastic therapy. BUT, before I can do that, I think I need some straightening up to. Seems my bench has gotten a bit cluttered After I clean up I'll get back to it. Thanks for hanging in there with me............Harv
coolboxx Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Harv, glad your feeling a bit better , you take as long as you like no rush my friend, after a good tidy your get right back in there. Darren
harvey boyer Posted July 19, 2013 Author Posted July 19, 2013 Darren, thanks my friend ! Soon.........Harv
harvey boyer Posted September 4, 2013 Author Posted September 4, 2013 Good news ! ALL the PE is now on the gear doors ! Sprue B. had a 15% sale a few weekends ago on Eduards stuff, so I ordered the undercarriage set to replace missing parts.Also a few extra tid bits i can use. I'll post pics when They are painted and weathered. Thank you all for looking in............Harv 1
harvey boyer Posted September 6, 2013 Author Posted September 6, 2013 Have the doors primed and the AB is stripped down soaking in windex. So my plane is to paint the doors and get them weathered this weekend. Hope so..............harv 1
harvey boyer Posted September 11, 2013 Author Posted September 11, 2013 Looky here ! Doors painted, but thats all. I tried a little pre shading, but not sure about it. What do you think ? I still have to weather and seal, and add a couple dry transfers. Thanks for looking in...........Harv 4
Geoffurs Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Hi Harv, very nice indeed. I was interested in the blueing you applied to the master brass barrels. Hadn't heard of that before and it looks great - seems better than primer/paint/drybrush. Is it the same stuff that I remember from school metalwork lessons in the 70s?! Hoping your Mojo has returned, best wishes, Geoff 1
harvey boyer Posted September 12, 2013 Author Posted September 12, 2013 Geoffurs my friend. Yes gun bluing, same as used on real guns. I think it works well. Easy to use Thanks for stopping by, and glad you like her........Harv
Geoffurs Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Cheers for that Harv - I will check out the gun shop next time I'm in town. Looking forward to seeing he finished aircraft - hope your w/e goes as planned. Geoff Geoffurs my friend. Yes gun bluing, same as used on real guns. I think it works well. Easy to use Thanks for stopping by, and glad you like her........Harv 1
harvey boyer Posted September 13, 2013 Author Posted September 13, 2013 Weathering is started. Not sure if this is too heavy. What say ye ? The black, I think I'll have to tone down a lot. Thanks for looking in !............Harv
harvey boyer Posted September 25, 2013 Author Posted September 25, 2013 OK, a small update. The doors are weathered, finally . I always seemed to have trouble getting the wash to go on smooth, but always beaded up. I remember guys talking about this prob and the remedy was a small drop of dish soap ! It works ! I did tone them down a bit and am happy with them. Need to seal them and have a couple of dry transfers to add and these will be done. As always comments welcome. Thanks for sticking with me..........Harv 1
Jamme Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Hello Harv. Nice weathering! Cheers, Jamme 1
