DocRob Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Some days ago I released my years ago started build of the WNW Pfalz off the SOD and started some work. It is my first WNW build and it will be a learning experience for my others in stash. What keeps me fascinated other then the great quality of their kits, is the possibility to transform plastic into lots of different materials like wood, leather, cloth, metal. A little sub interest in my modelling is to represent materials as best as possibly, not always to be crowned with success, but hey, the Pfalz is my canvas at the moment. My first wooden propeller turned out ok, I like the result. After a sand colored coat, I masked with 0,75 mm strips of Kabuki (Maketar pre cut) and added the red brown Colour. After demasking I used AK's weathering pencils to add some grain detail and overcoated everything with Tamiya clear orange. If somebody has a clue about mixing the Pfalz typical Colour of silver white for wings and fudselage, feel free to enlighten me. Cheers Rob 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Something I've wanted since Tamiya first released it back in the '80s: Honda City Turbo or as it was originally called, Willy's Wheeler. I picked it up a few years ago when Tamiya decided to reissue it. Decided it was time to build it. It's a1/10 RC car which is where Tamiya truly make their money from.

We'll see how that goes. Carl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great fun but I remember having fits trying to get the pressure correct in the oil damped suspension. Too much and the wheels pinged off at every little undulation but too little and it bottomed out on any little jump. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[CAT]CplSlade Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 A bunch of OOB stuff I have been working on lately. Nothing as nice as what you guys have been throwing up here, but since I am one of those assholes who builds only when it's fun and takes it all about as seriously as anything else here they are in all their basic workmanship: Tamiya/Italeri Sd.Kfz 231 6-rad and Dragon Stug IV representing France 1940 and the Ardennes 1944, respectively. They still need a bunch of touch-up, but respray is not an issue with these camo schemes. The superstructure on the Stug is not tied down yet, nor is the track on yet. Both will get a wash after I paint the OEM crap and other bobbles. Both kits are old molds and I already plan to update the Stug with one of the newer toolings eventually, so...anyway. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW I have the Revell Fw 190 F-8, the Bandai Y-Wing, and the Trumpeter Me 262 A-1a sitting next to me waiting to get started. And I have been eying my Do 335 more often lately. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
