And here's the finished brisket. 

Jimmy was hoping I'd drop it but no such luck.

I wanted to be a bit Carlesque and started a parallel build . It´s a 1/35 X-Plus Spinosaurus sans tongue for easier painting later. The build took only three hours.





Cheers Rob

Oh, that's a nice looking kit Rob. I've been on the fence about getting it as the Pegasus one is still on my bench.

Give a whole new meaning to a Jurassic GB

I've started assembling the wings for the Attacker and while I was waiting for the filler to cure I made a start on a little photo-etch style Millennium Falcon that my son gave me for my birthday.

I'll start a WIP for the Attacker once I get the wings sanded and done. Everything has been very easy to clean up and assemble so far. Hope it continues.

[BlrwestSiR]

Here I was thinking I don't recall seeing wings on the Millennium Falcon. 

Nice work on the Attacker's wings.

Nice view out of the window and no carpet monster , a great start ! 

[PanzerWomble]

More paint trials , so far done ATOM on Panzer colours, and various makers metallics for NMF ....now moving onto Mission Models Paint ...for some RLM , the range Tamiya don't really cover . 

 

Picked a Profipack 190 . Usual Eduard type model , fit good , PE useful, lots of diffenret parts and options ,  but I'm not entirely convinced by their research however , I just want a mule for RLM 74/745/76 . And also a  Priller option is always a win for me . 

So far ....so pitty.

I have a love/hate relationship with Mission Model paints. It sprays nice enough and has decent coverage but it's sometime a fragile finish and lifts just by looking at it wrong. If it was more durable, I'd use it more often.

I've used it. I couldn't find a difference in the results. It also can harden with age. 

After discussing it with my LHS, they said they had heard similar issues from other customers. The solution was use a different brand of paint as a primer. I used Tamiya acrylic as a primer and that solved the paint lifting. 

Here's my first try with the paint, a Type XXIIi U-boat.

The paint lifting occurred when masking the hull demarcation line. 

On my subsequent usage on the B-24, with a coat of Tamiya flat white as a primer, the paint only lifted in a couple spots and the masking there was much more extensive.

Nice work! I like that black, red and silver color scheme. Also exhaust stains are good.

[PanzerWomble]

So going to paint my FW 190 this weekend .....probably...... with these paints 

 

MR Colour ..which likes it's own thinner .....MMP which needs their own 'speshul water' reducer and also poly additive ( Createx make MMP in case you're wondering ) and some Ammo ATOM , which everyone says on line avoid alcohol , and yet weirdly likes Tammy Lacquer thinner in my experience ....then later get jiggy with the oil paints ...

 

What ...could ...possibly ...go wrong  ?
