Commontsar Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 So I've been absent off here again for a long time (sorry, last few years have been really busy and weird). I've been off work the last week due to health problems but the last 2 days felt I could at least try and start some modelling again. So I decided to do one I got for a couple of quid on Facebook so if it was really bad it didn't matter too much. I know it's not the best paint job, but I'm not too upset with it. I'll tidy it up a bit, get the bottom started, varnish it and I'm hoping once decals are on it won't loo too bad. Thanks for looking. Hopefully I'll be on here to post at least once a week from now on! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Nice! It's actually not a bad little kit, despite its age. I have a couple of them laying about. Good luck with yours (although I see you've already gotten it mostly done)! Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commontsar Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Yeah it's got SO few parts as well! I got it and thought there were parts missing haha! It is a super simple kit, though I want to get a Revell one to do a Danish one soon - but got a few things to do before I can justify buying any more haha. I'm hoping to get this finished tomorrow after work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Hi, Nice to see you back building. I'm getting familiar with my own version of "busy and weird" at the moment so I hope yours is getting better. Knocking out a simple kit with no frills is very therapeutic!

Commontsar Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 As promised, I am posting once a week at least. No pictures this time though, sorry. I've been ill this week - virus apparently - so no real progress. I did tape it up and start the first coat of the bottom today. Just got to do another 2 thin coats and it should be ready for varnish and decals. Then weathering. Eep. Hopefully get that done at the weekend. My next project I'm really looking forward too and it arrived in the post yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S5 modeller Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Brilliant work on the meteor. Always fancied building one, and your build is encouraging me to hunt one down. Hope you get better soon, and post more progress. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 One of my favourite Airfix Classics. I built one a few years ago when my model building was being rejeuvenated. I wasn't that happy with the result (all down to me) so It sits forlornly at the back of one of my shelves,. I plan to build another, hopefully to a better standard.

Commontsar Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) So some progress! Finished paint work. Will gloss soon and then just decals. Due to my model destroying machine of a cat it is now being done gear up rather than down. I know it's not the best paint job...it definitely didn't go to plan.
