Mike Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Weird... just putting it on its legs & taking the photos from a more realistic angle makes it look so much more... erm... realistic? Come on John! Final stretch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skii Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Verrah nice-ah! So you're in the home stretch? Hi Habu yeah not far off, just the doors and some minor details to add, scratchbuilding the entrance hatch and ladder will be a bit of a challenge but the worst of it is definately over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 From exactly a year ago yesterday... Its not good, far too many builds on the go at once, nothing finished, disorganised chaos everywhere, filthy looks from the accountant (sorry i meant fiancee) and bits of various projects in every corner of the house. So I started another one I admire your tenacity! I'd have started another project by now, or maybe you have and you're not telling us!! Amazing work on the B-2, looking forward to seeing it Telford!

Skii Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 Well? Wha happa? Hi Habu The project has admittedly been on the backburner for a while, after sanding back the original paintjob which had the texture of sandpaper in some areas, I altered the split rudders on the outer trailing edges and scribed some minor details on the upper fuselage, she's now sitting in a fresh new base coat of xtracrylics gunshp grey which has been micromeshed to a dead smooth finish, next the re-masking and more painting. Life, loss of modelling libido and other stuff just got in the way, but I'm determined to get it done for Telford.
