Super Guppy because I couldn't find a Beluga


Recommended Posts

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!spacer.pngspacer.png

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!

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

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.
