Christer A Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 Today is a special night in Sweden. "Uppesittarkväll" which basically involves staying up late, wrapping presents and watching TV. Since we managed to watch Love Actually yesterday, I got some masking done instead. Almost the same thing. Should be ready to paint interior gray/green tomorrow then! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Happy Uppesittarkväll Christer! Er, I think you've had 'a few too many' or that Brigand has transformed by the magic of Christmas... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedB Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Definitely more like it! 'Love Actually' is one of my favourites, especially at this time of year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christer A Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 The ominously named storm Urd is getting closer by the minute. This morning, we went down to the sea here on the west coast to experience it. (yeah, that's not much compared to real storms...) After all that, I had a major painting day! The Brigand got the correct canopy in place, and some Medium sea Gray on top And also a clear coat! Next up, masking. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Nice and smooth Christer - looking good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBaron Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 What Ced said Christer, the Brg's looking fine from here. Nice photos too btw. What's that extraordinarily massive tan-coloured structure in the second outdoor photo? Some kind of fortress, or a sea wall? Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christer A Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 Thanks Ced & Tony! The structure is an old Fortress, Varbergs Fästning (link to wikipedia) First built during the end of the 13th century but the walls that are seen now are from the 17th. Today no modelling was done, since I went to the cinema with my 11-yo daughter to see Rogue One. We had a blast! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christer A Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 Spoilers? No need for that. Let's just say that this was the best Star Wars I've seen since the first time I Saw the Original Trilogy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christer A Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 Darn! I just discovered that my supply of Tamiya NATO black is very low. New paint ordered but it will probably not be her until next week. Oh well...I think I have a few other projects to look after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Has the paint arrived yet? Just saying... bump? But that's just me being selfish - your other fine models are not 'my scale' - yet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christer A Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Nato black was it? Hmmm....I do remember an unsightly gap in one of the engine cowlings that appeared after I had painted and shaded the darn thing. After plugging it with some strips of plastic I sort of put it on the shelf of doom to cool off for a while... But you're giving me some much needed kick in the rear side to bring it back into the light once more! Thanks Ced! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawk Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 On 22/11/2016 at 10:59 AM, Martian Hale said: Nice work! I think the cooling fans are a must as they are so distinctive on the real aircraft. Martian Aeroclub used to do a cooling fan for the Fw 190's BMW engine. Not sure how many blades it had but not sure who'd be counting. And it's a lot better than I could scratch build. BTW I also have an article off Hyperscale from some year back where an ex-Buckmaster fitter explains that Buckmasters did not have the cooling fans and, I think, some Brigands had them removed during their final years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christer A Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 Okay Brigand-fanclub, this is what I need to redo: I'll probably never be satisfied with this area, so maybe it's time to move on, and shoot some Ultimate black primer on it? After all, it's nearly time to join my first BM groupbuild, so I need to finish this.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christer A Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 This is how it turned out after painting It was painted with Tamiya flat black and postshaded with Nato black. I wonder how it will look after a gloss coat? That'll wait until tomorrow though, for now I'm too eager to peel off the tape, which to me is one of the highlights in this hobby, if not THE highlight This is actually more fun than unwrapping Christmas presents! Unfortunately, I had some bleed through But that surely builds character! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
