Edwards 1/72 Albatros

Love the smell of melted plastic in the morning.... Spru stretching. Gone a bit finer this time so I'm hoping they just snap when I hit them with the hair dryer to straiten them a bit more. -

The prop doesn't look to bad once fitted so I didn't bother repainting it, so wings on as well now, time to flip it over and fit the wheels. I will probably tone down the pink for this one. -

Hi Bob, It was a bit ruff at times with lock down etc but doing even better now just landed a proper job again working for the sleep charity, going to head of there commissioning services, so all good. As for the prop I king of winged it , base colour of pale earth them using a fine brush I did the lines using brick red, them over those with a dark red/brown to widen and fade the edges, then I thinned the red/brown and did the same again, until I was happy with the look, I might have done a sepia wash on top and gloss to finish. All the best Brian. -

So after a bit a sci-fi kit bash I'm back these two little planes, the second one seems to be coming together a lot better than the first and I'm a lot happier with the overall look of it so far. I did lift the two gun so they are a little more visible once the upper wing goes on, not strictly as per it would look in the real work but at least I can see my work once finished. -
But late but I used to order regularly from banzaihobby.com and Plazajapan, never got stung for charges when the total cost ( kit and postage) was under £30, not sure why but anything that was alsways a gamble and anything over around 40-45 would generally get the extra charges. Both great companies and will deal with again when funds allow.

Thank you. Thank you. Shitting my self about actually doing it now..... Anyway back to making models and this one now has its decals on, I think I want to add another colour to it somewhere, maybe the wings to brake up the blue, then just the odd bit of detail paint to add. image upload free -

not a greablie but free filters for your airbrush spray booth, order some food from "hello fresh" I did this for the first time and it arrived yesterday. Inside the box of grub is your free filter..... . definitely good enough for acrylic painting. Cheers for the comments as well everyone, no model making this weekend, writing a presentation and preparing for a interview on Wednesday. Cheers Brian. -

@HoolioPaulio cheers mate.you defo need to give a go and Gundam parts make a great starting point. The comet is just about finish now with it's bronze and blue elements. I have pre shaded and given the first 2 lights coats of a blue/grey colour on this ship. I will be building up on that colour adding a few different shades and the odd contrasting colours well. I have been looking at Andy Moores B wing again for inspiration, probably my favourite all time build on here, not going to be anywhere near as good but it definitely something to aspire to. -

Cheers, the comet power idea is from my own head..... Thanks. It's looks like this tonight, I need to find my guitar strings for some power cables. Will also need to make a few changes to the engines, thinking of having an access pannel open, so you can see inside.
