1/72 ACE BR-2 152mm Soviet Gun
Courageous replied to Roman Schilhart's topic in Ready for Inspection - Armour
Lovely detail, great painting and weathering and in 1/72 too. Good work. -
Another Schneider aircraft kit to add to my stash. A fantastic start, with corrections too. The internals look like they've been nicely done, pity not much will be seen at the end. Good work. Stuart

Nice to see colour going on. Stuart

Nice to see colour going on the old bird. Stuart -
Love what you're doing here Jeff, carry on the good work. Stuart

You're definitely adding the detail to this build, thank goodness that i build in 1/700. Stuart

Think I better post something here... Three wing sections joined together. Had a few seam issues with this bit and it has take a number of fill-sand-prime-repeat to get it looking nice. References refer to an engineers hatch that was located behind cockpit, under the engine. Apparently, this hatch was also while in-flight, not just when landed, better him than me.! Engines painted. Decals to be applied to the rocker covers and then they can get weathered. Stuart

And away we go and as is usual, we start with the cockpit... Very little clean-up as we've come to expect from Eduard. Bits primed. I used Colourcoats Light Weatheworks Grey enamel for the cockpit, it's a light blue-grey colour, not clear in pic. Coloured PE parts added. Rear facing view of the cockpit. The cockpit parts had a wash of Nuln Oil but Citadel. Forward facing view. Lovely looking I/P, cockpit is looking nice an busy, pity it'll be closed up and very little seen. Stuart

Wingnut International 1/72 Republic XP-72
Courageous replied to hsr's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Now I like that, looks very racerish. Lovely job. Stuart -
And now for something a little different 😉

Well Pat, my High Planes racer looks like a bigger bag of nails than yours! I tend to take on lost causes like yourself and if it was my build, I'd drop the flaps for interest. Stuart -
@Corsairfoxfouruncle @CliffB @IanC @stevehnz @Wings unlevel Thanks guys, much appreciated. It seems to be my 'go to' to add a base to give context and something to give it scale. Stuart

1/350 HMCS Regina (Halifax Class Frigate) 2021
Courageous replied to JohnWS's topic in Work in Progress - Maritime
Fantastic work John, looks fantastic. Stuart -
IDF M1, based on an M4A1 Hull. 1/35th scale.
Courageous replied to Bullbasket's topic in Work in Progress - Armour
Nice detailed work with the tools. Bit early to ask this question but I might forget to ask. Tank tools, are they generally painted the same colour as the tank or would they be with their own individual tool colour? Stuart -
I think I'll be going for a Russian silver scheme as it'll be going on the ceiling with a Sabre. Stuart

@beefy66 @robgizlu, cheers guys, much appreciated. Group builds have there place, they can focus the build within a time restraint which helps with stash reduction, not usually a place for ships though. @echen, thanks, I'm sure your 'Shot Kal' will look great. @Bullbasket, cheers John. A simple base is my go to, gives it context and the figure gives it scale. Stuart

Hi All. With the Centurion complete, I thought I'd knock out this MiG-15 using the Eduard Profi Kit in 1/72. This will be built OOB with the wheels up, the only possible addition will be to add a pilot. Box art. Three sprues of plastic. Instructions, clear sprue, PE, masks and decals. Stuart

Hi all. Here is my recently completed build of a Centurion Mk. V MBT using the Ace kit in 1/72. This was built as part of the the 'Baby Boomers' Group Build. Build log here: Had a bit of a love/hate relationship with this kit; love the detail but hated the parts count, the clean up and fitting. I have a number of Ace kits so I know what to expect in the future. Thanks for looking. Stuart

Can't believe it has been nearly a week since last update, faffing about doing other stuff... Knocked up a simple small base. Completion not to far. The Cent is now complete and destined for its base. See you in the gallery. Thanks for following. Stuart

Classic Airframes 1/48 Grumman J4F-1 Widgeon
Courageous replied to dnl42's topic in World War 2 Twins Mega GB
Glad you've sorted window-gate, prime coat looks good. Now, don't shake bl**dy thing again! Stuart -
Cheers for the support guys. To improve some structural integrity with fitting the wings, I've added some plasticard to give a better gluing surface. Clear glazing has been fitted although I'm not sure why they made it clear for the three porthole windows but I think it'll work out better. Upper and lower centre sections now glued together. Outer wing sections readied to mate with centre...looking rather futuristic. Stuart
