Johnson Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Hi Dennis, I have the kit - nice looking 1/72 Tamiya, but I’m struggling with the Spitfire STGB, something to do with having two grandchildren under my feet (lovely though it is!) I’ll try to be there! Cheers, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Laidlaw Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 A quick question for @Corsairfoxfouruncle, @Col. and @modelling minion - do we need to fully document the build, or is this a "post photos, etc., when you remember" sort of GB? Ta! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta! Usually the more photos the better, but you don't have to document every blob of paint applied or every piece glued to another. What is to be avoided is a leap from box and contents straight to finished item, not really in the spirit of things as the more we can post the more each of us can learn from each other. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for that - I tend to take photos at significant stages, so that seems like it'll work. Much appreciated! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta! I would say not everything, sprue shots showing little or no work done. Then major steps like cockpit, fuselage closed, wings added and the paint/decal stages. So five photo’s minimum, or five groups. You don't have to do a book for each stage, but one to three photo's per stage would be enough for me.

I can blather with the best, but would rather keep it to briefer descriptions and a selection of photos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My three builds are as well, I was just sorting them while you responded. I will be building 883 Boyington’s main 1a aircraft of choice. A Corsair Mk.II in TSS, and an ancient Monogram -4b which I will try to bring up to more modern spec. Ive got a resin engine for all three and a resin cockpit for the -4b and i will be modernizing the cheesy wing folds and toylike landing gear as much as possible. Hopefully they will be successful builds. The 1/72 engine may not get built as its in about 40 pcs. And not sure I'm up to that ? 1 hour ago, almac said: This has sneaked up on me.
