It's Spad's fault, Sir ! Lightning duo, Monogracademy


Recommended Posts

Hello Dears,

did'nt doing great these days, since the surgery is particularly painfull.

Imagine 11 teeth ache at the same time in the same mouth.

Painkillers, anti inflamatory and antibiotic and that absolutely distastefull mouth bath :puke:

Here's the Boom correction

WP_20170506_20_27_32_Pro

Since everything has to be sanded, engraved and sanded again, I put a part from Bhind, painted in gray and Tadaaaam !

WP_20170506_23_21_42_Pro

I also closed the second one

WP_20170506_23_21_57_Pro

More to come soon, doc say that pain will last for 3 to 4 days .. Hopefully !

See you later, take care.

Oh god! Hope you're ok. Do you actually have that much pain in your mouth or are you talking metaphorically about the build? The booms are looking smashing though.

 

Take care dude.

Hello dears,

Pain is easing slowly, too slowly for me, I already grew bored of Vanilla ice cream and soft pudding.

 or 3 days, and I will be back :star:

Just did this as a measure, if it work, I'll make 4 of it

WP_20170507_22_59_38_Pro

The photo etched parts are différents, so I compensate

But I worked on some other kits today.

Sincerely.

I know........!

What's he up to?

He's like cloning stuff with plasticine and resin, and not telling how!

Hello Rob,

Sorry, but I'm not so present these days, evening work week in real life.

I use some silicon and then PU resin.

It is easy to do but you have to be precise whe blending the components.

I can show you, there's no problem about that, I already did the same at my local club.

Sincerely.

Hello Dears,

Here I'm back again, first modelling evening, I was like a kid in a toy store.

Not very productive but funny.

First, here's a surprise from mother nature

WP_20170526_09_35_12_Pro

Those are stones for my would be wall, and I get a poppy !

Very glad about it, they are back in my garden :yes:

I open the cooling vent on the boom

WP_20170526_23_31_04_Pro

More to come soon.

Sincerely.

That's a great scale model of a poppy you're building. The rocky base for your diorama is very convincing - nice weathering!

Is that Mr Color acrylic  "Poppy Red" you've airbrushed on the petals"

😃

Not airbrushed, it's hairystick:whistle:

I will have an RFI soon !

Thank for watching.

Sincerely.

I just caught up CC. I have run out of 'likes' but I will be back soon to put them here :).

 

Some great detailing on the Lightnings :thumbsup2:  I like the mesh in the booms.

 

The cockpit detail is great too.

 

I'm really impressed by your resin moulding, I have resin mix components but haven't been sure what to use for the moulds; did you use silicon? You have excellent results.

 

Good choice of beer:cheers:! Chimay is superb, also Duval (a bit strong, but a good taste). I love white beer too, but they're hard to find here.

 

Your Lamb meal looked delicious. I am interested to know the recipe, I know it's off topic, but what were the beans? Yum :chef: 

 

Great thread CC; lots of models, resin, great food, beer and beautiful flowers.

 

Looking forward to the next instalment :).

 

All best regards

Hello Tony,

Thanks for the kind words, you're right about the Duvel, the name is oftenly quoted to come from Duivel, that mean devil in flemish language, a well deserved name :rofl:

It was one of my "the choice" weapon for the one who tell me that they can drink a lot:bristow:

The recipe is very simple, take a lamb leg, with a sharp knife tear some tiny holes in the meat, in the holes, introduce some half cloves of garlic and pieces of parmesan

Parmesan must be a block, not the gratted one because you have to cut some "bullet" in it, easy to introduce in the tiny hole.

Then in the oven a 220°C for a good 40 to 50', I always keep an eye on it, regularly, I soak the leg with his juice, that way the meat stay tender and did'nt dry too much.

Garlic and parmesan will give a real taste into the meat, of course before cooking, salt Pepper (I use the 5 bays Pepper, more tastefull) and herbes de provence (a mash of aromatic herbs commonly used here)

I always add 2 or 3 bay leaf (laurel), if you like it , you can add some pieces of parmesan over the leg, in melting it will add to the taste, it is up to you ! 

The beans are "Flageolets" typically french, hope that it can be found in the store down Under, of course onions and garlic in the beans too.

With that a Bordeaux is fine, but I oftenly use australian wine and voilà !

Very tastefull ! it is a easter meal generally, but I did'nt wait easter to do it :clap2:

Give it a try, Worth the pleasure !!

Sincerely.

Ok Dears,

Don't know what's happening for that while but I'm a bit lazy !

Spend some time with my family at the terrace

WP_20170531_18_22_39_Pro

or walking in the forrest with the dogs

WP_20170527_19_55_34_Pro

in a word, I enjoy the sunny weather when I'm back from my job

IMG_2446

However, I inspire myself from the Spadgent's Wheel bays since the photo etched are not the same in our respectives boxes, see

WP_20170530_22_48_23_Pro

More to come soon, fridayit's my son's wedding, but since the divorce, our Relationship has really changed, will see, whatever !

Sincerely.

Hooops, sorry Tony,

Yes I use silicon, exactly silicon of caoutchouc from Voss Chemie

Be carefull when choosing it, take the white one, the Brown one is for high temperature moulding (aka white metal)

The white remain flexible, I use some for years, will try vacuum moulding but did'nt tried it yet.

Hope that I answer heplfully.

Sincerely.

Hello Dears,

Yesterday was not a great day

First the chemical reaction on my Mk VIII wings

and then I discovered that the main leg of my Academy was broken.

Can be easily fixed if only I have the broked part

But there is not, I search the bags and the box but to no avail !

Ok, I'll order a SAC undercarriage !

:crying:

Sincerely.

Thank you very much for the recipe CC :thanks: 

 

I worked in Belgium for a few months in 1990 (Eeklo, Knokke-Heist, Bruges, Antwerp, Ghent, Brussels - lots of travelling) and remember the superb food, great beer, best coffee I've ever had, superb chocolates..... Let's just say I got very fat but enjoyed working there very much!

 

Mrs. T. is from New Zealand and loves lamb; I showed her the recipe and she is going to make it soon :chef: :eat:.

 

I'm responsible for making the beans :).

 

I'm sorry to hear about the undercarriage and Spitfire wing. Modelmaster make a surprisingly good paint remover if you need to take the crazed paint off of the Spitfire altogether.

 

It's good that you could find an aftermarket undercarriage leg. Hope the wedding went ok :)

 

All best regards

Hello Tony,

If you look more closely, the lamb leg come from.... New Zealand !:whistle:

Yup Thank you, the wedding has been ok, weird a bit, a protestant lad and a muslim bride married in an abbey by a jew from chinese origin !!!! Absolutely oecumenic is'nt it ?

He's my son simple is not easy enough and far less fun :rofl:

As both of them are musicians, there was a lot classical musicians but luckily enough there was 2 heavy metal player plus my son to make the third.

I think that I will carefully erase the decal and use the Eduard ones !

Thank for the kind words, hope to see you in Belgium again;:cheers:

Sincerely.

Hello Spad,

hope that you enjoy the sun and the beautifull beach !

There's no UC for the Academy Lightning, only for Hasegawa and Monogram.

Seem that the Hase one is more easy to fit, will try, I'll go back to the cockpits.

Thank for the kind words.

Sincerely.
