Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 19, 2016 Author Administrators Posted January 19, 2016 Nice, seems you managed to spray more paint on the mat than on the plastic It's one of my special powers! 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 20, 2016 Author Administrators Posted January 20, 2016 Isn't it called a sprayingmat? Cees Well anyhoooo .. i went from spraying the mat to smudging, chipping and oiling the rigs! Much more layers, pigments, etc.. to be added to the wood.
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 24, 2016 Author Administrators Posted January 24, 2016 Managed to get some done. Almost finished the jigs. Just need to add some oil stains and more scratches to the edges and sorts. Sprayed my first ever Mr. Paint RLM 71 on the engine gondola. Wow..... A dream to work with. 3
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 24, 2016 Author Administrators Posted January 24, 2016 Those cradles really look magnificent. Cees Cheers Cees! Painting the engine now. Inserted the bearers and resin engine and adding decals now. 6
Wingco57 Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Seems like you are enjoying yourself. Engine + jig looking great.Cees
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 25, 2016 Author Administrators Posted January 25, 2016 Very enjoyable so far. Adding washes to the engine gondola: 3
Administrators James H Posted January 25, 2016 Administrators Posted January 25, 2016 Damn sexy Wooden crate looks real. This is the best Wessex I've seen.
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 26, 2016 Author Administrators Posted January 26, 2016 Small progress. Adding scratches. Matt coat applied. 3
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 27, 2016 Author Administrators Posted January 27, 2016 Thnx! Still soooo much work to do!! At least I have the proper tools And here's a photo I received per email by fellow member HJKR. Very happy with this one. It shows a row of power eggs to the right in the metal maintenance jig AND it shows a row of power eggs to the left in the wooden jigs (like I'm making). On the back you see the factory stenciling with the Opel brand and serial number. Now to figure out a way to replicate this. How cool??? 2
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 31, 2016 Author Administrators Posted January 31, 2016 Cheers! Here's me masking the canopy inside and outside. The Montex masks are.... well... crappy. Most of them undersized, so need to add masking tape to a lot of locations. I hate this part... But who doesn't??
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 31, 2016 Author Administrators Posted January 31, 2016 Oh Man! That wood is giving me Wood! More like a splinter i'm sure 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 10, 2016 Author Administrators Posted February 10, 2016 Small progress! I bought the CMK resin MG-15's. Then discovered these had the wrong sights. So I also bought the Master barrels. I used the resin CMK bodies. Revell ball mount and mantel and Master barrels. Now dipping in blackening agent. 3
wackyracer Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Them Master barrels are superb but boy are those tiny sight mounts a fiddle to fold and fix. Still have nightmares about them on the 88C! This is my fav build on here at the moment. Keep going Sir, gonna be great. 1

I've assembled two sets for other build in the past and when ordering them on Ebay i thought.... Here we go again! It's great they give you extra PE mount for when you screw up. Which I did once this set. 1
ophthoidoug Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Really enjoying this. You'll motivate me to pick up on my big mistel again. Can I ask what matt-coat you used on the engine nacelle's? I'm still looking for a perfect flat coat that isn't "eggshell" &/or doesn't leave a fine powdery dusting ... thanks for sharing Doug 1

I use Mr Hobby Acrylic matt coat. Diluted 50% with Mr. Leveling Thinner.
Wouter Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Not sure how I missed this, awesome build Jeroen! Enjoying it so far.
