rob85 Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 So here is where we are at... The front wheel needed fixing as the middle section has gone walkies... so the cunning answer was Untitled by robert mulvey, on Flickr Milliput of course Untitled by robert mulvey, on Flickr That needs to go off then get some paint applied. Here is a couple of pic's her nearly finished, just pastel weathering, front wheel painting and the last bits of clear parts to put on... all done after that Untitled by robert mulvey, on Flickr Untitled by robert mulvey, on Flickr Rob 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedB Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 +1 from me, looking very smart What IS that in the background? The silver electrical thing with two knobs and dials? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob85 Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 That's the robot helper.... it helps by making toast...were you worried I had found a modelling gadget that you didn't have? thanks chsps i am actually quite pleased with how this one is turning out!

CedB Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 It makes TOAST!!?? With all those knobs, dials and buttons? What sort of toast? Ours just has a timer dial thing that ticks... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob85 Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) Unfortunately ced there is nothing special about the toast it makes! You would think looking at it that it cooks toast under pressure or something, or that or that when it pops out it's already added melted cheese and Lee & perrins... sadly the toast just pops out... the end... it was a wedding gift Rob nobody bought the lovely coffee machine.... or the 48 in TV.... just a toaster .... how unfair Edited December 18, 2016 by rob85 To feel sorry about my toaster and no coffe machine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untitled by robert mulvey, on Flickr Untitled by robert mulvey, on Flickr Untitled by robert mulvey, on Flickr Untitled by robert mulvey, on Flickr Untitled by robert mulvey, on Flickr Untitled by robert mulvey, on Flickr Untitled by robert mulvey, on Flickr Roundels have been desaturated and pastels have been used on panels to bring them out a little... B-25 current looks like this Untitled by robert mulvey, on Flickr Some frame worked cleaned up panels painted, engines on, more frame work painted and a wheels out.

sean Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Excellent B-26 Rob, one of my favourite kits...ever... and yours has turned out really, really well... and the B-25 with yellow is going to be colourful and interesting........I suppose I'll just have to wait!...

rob85 Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) Cheers all, I have to say I am privately chuffed with how the b-26 has turned out, there was a moment were I thought it might end up looking pony. Wait sean! Jesus there's a cheek, haven't seen hide nor hair of you for an age and you complain about the wait!? .... I hope to not keep you waiting too long! i think the b-25 is looking ok, but needs more work on the paint finish.... hopefully to improve it, not make it worse....

Cookenbacher Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Wonderful completion on the B-26 Rob! I love the finish variation - very realistic. Oooooh, and the B-25 is coming along nicely too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob85 Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Cheers cookie, the b-25 is my first stars and bars, and first NMF so learning a lot! It's not far from completion now. i have given up on the Boston, I think it and the JU 88 can go into the KUTA build.... Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately time has been scarce, so it's been a choice of bench or internet really, the bench won..... NMF is not easy with the brush, but yours is looking good. I suppose I'll have to wait for the KUTA to see the Boston then?.... Sean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob85 Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Yeah Sean you will! Unless I quit work.... which would be great! But only for a short period as money would run out fast... Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob85 Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 I am going to give it my all to get the b-25 done for the deadline, however I cannot promise that it will be done... I have had some things come up that are making life and time difficult which will need my focus more than models.... I know ridiculous really Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
