bbudde Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Looks good so far Ced. Hope the trailer and the Rover will do also without any fuss. Hope the windows help a bit to look it more real. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbudde Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 @ djparkins : What do you think about a generic set for all these little old ones like window frames, grills, hatches, windshield wipers, dials, spoked wheels etc, when you have not produced that for them? Would it be worth it for you ? Could you profit from that? You have the machines to produce them. The unhappy stranded modellers here would very appreciate that, I guess. Just a thought.

TheBaron Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Flippin' 'eck Tucker. Only went away for the weekend and here you are whacking through another. Whacko old top! Bloodhound theft was a real problem back in the day. You can see a local cricket team giving chase during a typical such blag here: 4 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Before replies, have a look at this post that solves the Photobucket image block - I've changed to Firefox and it works! Now I'll be able to see all those great builds, amazing! Thanks Giorgio, very kind, as usual Thanks Benedikt The trailer is a bit, er, rough. I'll need some mojo to clean it up Thanks Martian - soft old Airfix plastic and old moulds... taxing my patience a bit, ho hum Thanks Roger, very kind Thanks Bill, too kind Thanks Junglie - my memories of camps are, er, cold and damp and full of pointless exercises. Should have taken it more seriously I guess! Thanks Tony - great photo Thanks chaps for your kind words - it's encouraged me to spend more time on the trailer. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I used Humbrol acrylics on all three of my Jaguars Ced I think (I'm old so I'm not sure) I used a little Tamiya thinners but having recently used only water too its less critical than I thought I did use Humbrol Clear to shine them up for the transfers and finished off with Tamiya Flat Varnish in acrylic Beware Tamiya also do their aerosols with a 'hot' base for painting films for flying models I suspect Always look for acrylic to flatten the finish Humbrol do a matt aerosol too I hate it, its ruined the finish on too many of my models By the way Don't use Humbrol matt varnish Did I make a point there? I mean it When I did my HC2 Wessex it made the undersides go browny grey went similar on the Scout at first too Its vile stuff I don't like it At all... 😬 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlx Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Hi Ced, Great progress and interesting dissertations along the way, as usual The missil looks very good. I'm sure will turn up with great results for the other elements of the set! Cheers Jaime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 You'd think somebody with men to find things to occupy them could find an hour or two for a couple of bucket wielders for her wouldn't you... 😕 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Thanks Andre - great clip! Thanks Bill - good news that Humbrol acrylic can be sprayed, thinned. I'll try Cookie's thinner and see how we get on Thanks Jaime, very kind Thanks Junglie and Bill - poor Wessex Figure painting mojo and steady hands have to be taken advantage of. Stop dancing by Ced Bufton, on Flickr They are dancing aren't they? Move two of the Chartered Accountant! I think the boss is trying to stop them? Dog's collar has been touched up after that shot. That cotton is his lead rope: Their bases will obviously get painted when they're on the base board. 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spadgent Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Wonderful work Ced. I love the little dancing guys. thanks for the PB fix. I'm still going to switch to Flickr but at least I can see what to replace now. Johnny 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Hello CeD, Nice idea, I had the box when I was a kid But as it is used to shoot aircrafts down, did'nt want to build it. I exchanged it for a Typhoon or thing like that. May I take a seat. Will read the 3 page ahaed of me. Sincerely Corsaircorp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Superb figure painting Ced. I really like the dog too Can't wait to try the PhotoMuppet fix tomorrow! Thanks for sharing. Best regards TonyT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Thanks Johnny I'm using Flickr now too but at least the fix lets us see posts from others. Thanks CC - welcome! Thanks TT - glad you like them Pondering the RAF Blue Grey a bit, I was thinking that thinned H96 over the grey primer would be OK. Then I thought I ought to do something different for the soft top so I brushed on some Khaki as a base: Untitled by Ced Bufton, on Flickr Damn ejector mark, quickly dealt with using Nigel inspired fibreglass pen: Actually I'm quite liking that... should I leave it alone or overspray with RAF Blue? What do we think? 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
