As for the genius thing, may I point out that it was Mike that said it, not me. As an obedient BM member I was duty bound to agree with him.

Mike Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 Me in "doing a bit of modelling" shocker! I buckled and sprayed a bit of RLM76 on the Treibflugel(horn) today. Just the base coat with a little modulation (which doesn't show up well) from the black primer showing through. I'll check & square it up next session and then add a thin layer of a lightened shade over the top, then think of the "top" colours to lay over it. Not sure how I'm going to mask it yet, but I'm sure it'll come to me 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 This is Britnodeller Mike, not Stingray. Do you really want another six months of us lot running amuck?

Mike Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 There's probably a lot to be said for losing your faculties sometimes. My memory's gone, and my body is slowly falling to bits, but otherwise I'm in fine shape! 🧟♂️ Appreciate the sentiments though Been to the dentist for a bit of light masonry work, and now back wondering what day it is. I don't know why, but I always come back exhausted whenever I have work done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 I'm currently drowning in dust from this little side-projects I opened up yesterday - a Messerschmitt P.1103b, which you can see here. Never fear though, I'm still plodding on with this, painting the interiors of the gear bay "pistachio shells" and the gear legs. Nothing worth photographing yet, although I might do an ensemble pic once I've finished the detail painting of the gear and bays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 As the side project is moving along, so too is the Trieb. Or should I call it 'Flugel? Not as fast as the other one, but movement is movement I've sprayed the nose cone silver with a view to doing a bit of weathering back of the paint to bare metal, as I figured it would have a metal nose cone at least. I'm going to paint the nose cone and spinner cylinder yellow in my own bastardised mash-up of one of the supplied schemes, in much the same manner as the Me.1103b has just been done. I decided not to use the RLM81/82 combo I used for the 'scmitt, and have yet to decide on one, as a lot of them have the base of RLM02, which I can't see working really. I'm going to have to delve into some late war schemes to remember what's a typical pairing of shades, as my memory's shot to bits Thinking about it, I might also spray the intake lips on the engines yellow too. Can I be bothered masking? Probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochen Barett Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 It is way more fun to talk about your Trieb moving along than to talk about your Flügel! The German word "Trieb" has several meanings. The gardener uses it (shoot / sprout), the watchmaker / mechanic uses it (pinion), and the rest of the people use it when referring to your personal drive / urge / desire and especially your sex drive. A "Täter" is a person committing a crime - and a "Triebtäter" is a sexual offender / sex maniac. (Sorry for supplying more information than anybody would have ever asked for, I just could not resist) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Don't tell anyone, but I put some RLM82 on the top surfaces of this tonight. Just the base coat with a wavy demarcation line 'twixt top and bottom so far. I'll have to do the modulation in another session though, and I've not even had time to take any pics yet. Just in case anyone was still watching Incidentally, also as well, and another thing, she's going to have a yellow nose and spinner barrel, with RLM82/81 on top and some mish-mash of kit decals... probably. Who knows? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
