Marlin Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Thanks Rich. I rotate around my builds, so I'll have something I can do each evening. That's the one reason I usually have two to four ongoing builds at the same time. Yesterday I glued one of the flaps in place. 306 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr Perhaps I'll to the rest of them this evening.

Col. Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 What ever you do don't rush and risk spoiling it at the end. We can always ask @Enzo Matrix for a time extension if there's a lot of unfinished projects nearing completion as it'll help Wreck-It Ralph @trickyrich break the internet forum poll. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlin Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 Hi I've had a very productive weekend. Friday evening I started to paint my Draken. 351 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr First the bare metal areas on the belly. Then during Saturday I continued with 058M grey. 355 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr And then yesterday I could flip it over and start on the topside camouflage with 438M Blue Grey. 357 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr The plan is to finish the camouflage today and the put some clear coat on it on Tuesday or Wednesday.

trickyrich Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 mmm great work with the hairy stick, it's hard to get a good finish and that underside looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlin Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 Thanks Rich. All you need is a good sable hair brush.
