Dr.Jellyfingers Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Thanks James, I'm losing interest on it at the moment. Really can't be bothered getting it back out. That being the case you perhaps should do something else for a few days or so, I can imagine the time and effort going into this and it would be a shame to rush something and regret it. Have a break then crack on with renewed vigour, I think we all want to see this progress at this level mate ! Si. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Got to agree with Si, sometimes you just nead to put a model to one side and do something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 It won't ever be rushed, I don't do rushed So long as it's done for SMW I don't care , Just need a break I think as you say. Can't do anything on the Me-109 or the Porsche as I need stuff for them... I do have an F4U here thats looking rather tempting however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christer A Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Having just read through the entire thread and I can only say that I'm utterly impressed! The scratchbuilding, the painting, the detailing - top notch! Here's hoping that you can find the motivation to finish the beast!

Radleigh Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Got some Maskol on last night, for some selective weathering. I'm still waiting for some stuff to arrive for this build, hopefully a bigger update once it does turn up!

Radleigh Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Thanks Tony. Done a little more today, Strange how you have days where you can't be bothered then the next day you don't want to put it down... Mainly repairs on the boom that I wasn't happy with. Started to grease some seams too on the gondola, Got a few reference photos showing how dirty it gets, will post them soon. Put some Tamiya tape along where it's split and will place superglue over the top and let sit for a day, then carefully rub back to the join. Will do this with tape in place so I can see if i'm causing to much damage to other areas.

Radleigh Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Cheers guys, I really need to sort the repairs out as it's still in superglue. Radleigh, I've learned a lot from your build so far in producing weathered effects, thank you so much. It's looking friggin great Nice one, Glad it's of some use to someone. I'm trying as much as possible to photograph the different stages. I'll going to be cracking on with my F4U build soon so that might be of some interest too.

shark 64 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Oh yeah it works. alright. Niiiice work my friend. Oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Thanks Oliver. I've been looking at the panel I rescribed and i'm really not happy with it, so I think I'm going to fill the lot again and redo it. I'm lucky that it's on it own and don't interfere with any other paint work. More on that later though, I still need to sort out the repairs!

Radleigh Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 The repairs on the back, 2 out of the 3 are ok, but it's the biggest one that keeps splitting................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
