perdu Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 WWF are not entirely happy with it, but it is what it is I have begun experimenting with the window replacements method Plasticenealike inside the nose moulding and then pushed back to clear the recess Let that settle although it will never harden very much which is why I like to reuse old plasticene, it's a bit less compliant Quite an asset when I want it to stay put when the PPP is on The PPP IS on, lets see how it hardens I am not expecting to replace the entire nose, just the window glazing Little moves, a bit at a time 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 OK I have done a polish and stiffen Port window polished and missing bits highlighted, it was always likely that there'd be missed out bits when using sloppy stuff like PPP Starboard one was better but still the odd little blemish These blemishes have to be eradicated or it would have been a waste of time cutting out newer, better window shapes wouldnt it? Say yes please kids Now polished back after a top up of the hole the hole is still visible but is actually filled in quite well For Perfect Plastic Putty, which has less strength than snowflakes and hates being polished We have a cunning plan for that later Whilst that fettling is settling I began to work inside the Queen Of The Skies Colin sent a floor plan outline with seat positions on it, which will become the floor of the model, later I needed to make a tail end wall to close it off in the tail This needs to sit a wee bit further back but was a good basis to work from And meanwhile I mentioned a cunning plan Drying in the sun a polishable skin of cyano Polishing that in the morning Sleep well guys'n... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

general melchett Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Great choice Bill, anything with a red square has my attention. You're judicious use of every filler known to man (and not forgetting Martian)kind is the stuff of legends, have you ever considered building a model out of filler and sticking bits of plastic to it? And yet out of this apparent mayhem, like a Monarch butterfly emerging from its chrysalis exoskeleton, comes a little model masterpiece....funny old life. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ask me how many recast Buccaneer wheels I could lay my hands on I found another last night under the filing cabinet... 😀 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
