jean Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 What can I say? Are you working on these models 24/7? That's what it looks like from where I sit... And I am terribly jealous, when I haven't been able to glue any plastic for almost 2 months!!!! Scary! Your models show all the care you lavish on them. Great show Steve!

stevej60 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 I was thinking that. how do you find time for this lol Thanks guys,Honestly I do an hour a day 10.30 till 11.30 as I work 2pm till 10 pm, I usually get an extra hour or two on my days off but got a lot done with being off four four days and to be fair these kits just fall together!

giemme Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Brilliant build so far, but I love the Russian machine and the way you did the painting and weathering (including the torn decal!)

giemme Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Steve, this must be some sort of record! I looked back to the starting date of this thread and it's only 20 days ago! I love the second pic, by the way, with the other three sitting in the background. Ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciao Thanks Giemme,the main reason I build in two,s or threes is a simple hatred of the loading and cleaning of the airbrush! I love getting quickly to the brush painting stage so when I started this build I sprayed six kit cockpits (Fulmar and Hurricane also)in one go,it does feel like a production line at times though!

I feel you pain here ... I always try to have group of items of the same kit to be sprayed the same color, just to minimize the load'n'clean rounds ... I love getting quickly to the brush painting stage so when I started this build I sprayed six kit cockpits (Fulmar and Hurricane also)in one go,it does feel like a production line at times though! Great system! Now, where do you find all the room you need to keep all those ongoing builds, me wonders .... LOL!

jean Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Steve, who said airbrushing was an improvement on a paint brush? It takes only 20 seconds to clean a hairy brush.... I only say that because I am jealous of airbrush owners, of course! Ran out of cash when last in London, had just enough left to buy 2 new paint brushes!!!! Next time, then I can bitch with all of you about the inconvenience of cleaning the little sods! Great models nonetheless, even with all the clean up involved.
