corsaircorp Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 Hello Dears, I'm back !! Start playing with the Steam pigeon's internals The more I go the more I will make a RAAF one ! Will study a lot ! A BPF one is equally tempting Thank for watching and have a very good modelling time ! Sincerely. CC 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I'm enjoying watching people's Walrus builds, they are giving me plenty of inspiration for my own kit. Martian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBaron Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 What-ho Cc! Nice to see this one greening-up already. What a kit! Almost enough to give scratch building a bad name with all that detail included. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Soo dear Martian ! You succumb to the mermaid song of the Walruses too ??? Another Eggman ?? I Wonder about the paint scheme of your Shagbat ?? Dutch navy SH 34 and Tracker.... Indian Navy Kamov .... Mmmmmhhh A Nepalese or Swiss Navy Walrus could fill the bill Can't wait for your decision.... That will be great ! 1 hour ago, TheBaron said: What-ho Cc!

As I was looking into the Yeovilton's Walrus.... Airfix and Eduard together did'nt let too many place for scratch building.... There will be a lot of Walrus on the table in the next months... Seemingly, there will be a Aussie decal sheet soon, so I'll wait a bit to make my decision ! Have a nice modelling time and a good pint of Guiness, or Murphies on my behalf ! Sincerely.

corsaircorp Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 Hello dears, Yesterday, I've done some wood grain on the Navigator table !! Only to find today that I did it on the underside of the table ! Soooo, I did again today ! So you both know now that even the underside of the table has been recreated !! In german they just say Dummkopf !! Enjoy your modelling Sunday ! Sincerely. CC 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Almost since it is not really a wood plank ! To reproduce the same grain would not have been realisic Would'nt it ? This laminated stuff is almost the same but not a perfect match, Am I right ? Or how to turn a mistake in some artistic digression !! Sorry can't resist ... Thank for the kind words ! Sincerely. CC 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hello dears, I Started to erase these ejection pins on the fuselage sides Then go on for the etched parts !! Still a pleasure to do ! Sincerely. CC 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christer A Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 There're Walruses everywhere it seems! Almost as common as badly placed ejector pin marks on Airfix models The navigators table must be some kind of plywood, right? Then you don't have to worry about matching grain... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Thank @Christer A Whatever, I'll try to reproduce Crisp deed ! A great Walrus in the making...... Soo We're egg man... Should you have seen the pace of disappearance of the Walrus in Telford. A kind of "did every modeller has her walrus ??? affair " Sincerely.

There are standards to be observed. It would be a truly horrendous flaw to have grain running in different directions between the upper and lower surfaces of said item. I would also hope he put in sufficient grains to depict a truly mature tree! Furthermore, I'd like to hear how corsaircorp determined the correct shades for the wood, both the light and dark elements of the grain? Are we talking oak, beech, sycamore or some other variety? Mahogany would definitely be wrong...far too heavy for an airborne installation. But I'm keen to know whether he matched the correct FS shades for his grain and how he determined the type of wood employed on the specific airframe he's modelling, preferably down to the copse from which it was felled! Rivet counting? That's for wimps. Grain stratification...that's where the future of modelling is heading!!!! Yeah...alright. time AGAIN!

As far as I can see you have been very good boys indeed. Carry on everybody, you've all done very well! Martian I fully understand Martin. Having just spent a weekend down in Cape Town with a good freind who took me to the three of the best LMS's. The model railway shop first, with little to interest me, I was looking for track. The the radio flyers shop with some plastic and I was looking for something flyable for my ladies greart nephew. Then finally Clowns, where I magaged it dispode of almost R500 about 27 UK Pounds (not a lot some would say) on an Italeri 24th scale jeep and a Master Box Ltd. Pin-up-Series Kit No, 6 Samantha to adorne the Jeep. Not my usual fair but hey it was the subject matter... You buys what you like, if you have to justify it, we so be it...

Martian Or quoting Louis the XIVth (he did'nt have a griffon !! what a lack of taste" "Parce que tel est mon bon plaisir" Can be translated as "Because this is my pleasure" I think that my modelling evening has been an Airfoied one.... I've thoroughly searched and I think that the laminated stuff for the table is tree's wood ! undoubltly ! Sincerely. CC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hello dears, Little by little, bits by bits ! This Photoetched is very fragile and so easy to bend !! I mean to bend exactly where it must be straight of course ! But it seem to look good to me ! It is really a joy of a kit, think that I will bring some wirind. I suppose that the camera were electrically actuated ! Have a nice modelling time and take care ! Sincerely. CC 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courageous Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 CC, that is too much Goulash and wine for one person, set some extra plates and glasses out, feeling a bit 'peckish'. Oh, you don't do glasses... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
