Glittergold Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 This is my workspace. There are many like it but this is mine. Oh no ! A Super Guppy has dived onto my workspace and demanded to be built and painted. Jokes on it. I'm a figure modeller and it will be my first plane build EVER! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glittergold Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 Well that was disappointing. Very frustrating getting a good fit and some lost and fumbled fiddly bits I had to replace, modifying pieces of other plane kits my aeroplane crazy friend keeps lying around. ( Do you think he'll notice?). I'll do my other 12 hours tomorrow since I've spent most of today waiting on glue and green stuff to dry and dealing with a stomach bug instead of powering through what I thought would be an easy build. HAH! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG X Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Good luck with the build - very ambitious - just remember to have fun - it is Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Get well soon @Glittergold Amazing choice of aircraft, not one ive ever seen built before. Planning is the key to Blitzbuilds. Paint something, while thats drying assemble something else. Prepaint parts on the sprue so you only have assemble things. Use the airing cupboard or hairdryer to speed up paint drying ! Time to get the creative hat on. But above all else enjoy it ! Best of luck Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roginoz Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Don't need any extra heat in this neck o' the woods - just park it outside for a while.......a short while ! Ya don't want the plastic to melt !! Looking forward to following this build. Rog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck Pat Or do what I did last time (which wasn't in a group build, I just wanted a new spitfire asap) and go to the cinema in the middle of the build. Still got it done on 12 hours minus a few minutes. The mainly one colour paint job might have helped a bit there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
