Brandy Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 That is gorgeous, I really like the way you get the paintwork looking realistic...nothing obvious, nice and subtle, but it's there. Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 One to be proud of. Like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangor Lad Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Superb! A sign of a really good build in my mind is when you can't tell what scale the model has been built in. This is a cracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 It does look slightly too tall, but it's still looking great. Lovely finish. How did you do the glazing on the side windows? Is that the liquid stuff? Regards, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mate, Windsor and Newton Glazing medium, I use it to glue in the cab glass as well because its quite thick, helps to fill in any badly cut areas and dries to a clear, transparent, high gloss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 If you keep giving me tip like this, I'll end up spending all of my pension in the art shop when I get back to Blighty again! I used to use the liquid made by Microscale to do airliner windows in a previous life, but as that was about thirty years ago, it's probably unusable by now.

Gerrardandrews Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Brilliant, all your models are, and you keep coming up with new types, think you must have a good few books 📚 under the bed 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Wonderful work again Sean, really stunning build & finish! I joined the facebook braille scale truck group to read the excellent painting tutorial you posted on there - could I ask where you got that big black airbrush trigger knob from? And is it specific to the particular brush you use or can it be adapted to others? It looks very useful! Once again, superb little truck!

It is just 4 solid rubber half inch plumbing tap washers glued on top of one another and then glued and shaped on the airbrush, you'll notice the top is curved, and this is to help with the finger tip 'rock' as you operate the trigger, they need a VERY sharp knife to cut/shape them and a sanding drum in a dremel to finish them off smooth, don't go to wild though or it will reduce it's effect. Obviously, the taller you make it the more control you have, but this also means you have to have about 6 knuckles in your trigger finger to operate it for its full range of movement.

Old Man Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 That is just plain wonderful, Sir.... Congratulations on pulling together a great model! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLurker Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Showed MrsLurker the second picture, "Is that real?". Then scrolled back to show the first picture, "I think that's a 4' penny!" That's the sort of detailing that I only "expect" to see at 1/48 and above. To see it at 1/72 and on such a small scratch built subject is very, very impressive. You have a great deal more patience and skill than me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
