Angus Tura Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Good Evening. Here is my subject: There are two in the box: one each in flight and launch modes. Both have pretty nice display bases. I washed the sprues yesterday but otherwise it's un-started. Here is the time. At least this was the time before I started struggling with my laptop to post this! My watch is five mins fast. I'm going for the 24 hour option but my wife has to work because of lockdown/Coronavirus. So, I might lapse into the lockdown option if the kids take up too much of tomorrow. See you in a bit.

Angus Tura Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Thanks Pat. This has gone pretty well so far. I thought I'd better put this up. I'm on a diet. The cups of coffee have been replaced by Earl Grey. At bedtime I got this far: The bits at top and bottom are the base for the launch and in-flight versions respectively. The fuselages are complete apart from clean up of the seams. I'm impressed with how quickly the Tamiya liquid glue dries, and I could clean these up now. But I'd be better for the sleep. (Low-calorie) Chocolate Ovaltine. Night night, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kushan_Farsight Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Neat choice and some nice display options! Look forwards to catching up on this tomorrow - good work so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Tura Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Good Morning. Breakfast. I have restored my tissues with a slice of toast and slightly arcane marmalade, and Lavazza espresso. Total calories ~290. I am really looking forward to this: nothing has gone wrong...yet. Alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Tura Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) I hate cleaning up seams and therefore have taken a small break to start the tea, feed the son and drink the Earl Grey, again. The launch motor and launch-config fuselage (no wings) are cleaned up, and the in-flight fuselage is half done. See you in a bit.

Angus Tura Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Uck is right, if it were Ovaltine, but it's Ovaltine chocolate and quite palatable. So, one little thing went wrong but only some holes to fill at divided sprue gates. They filled in OK with the lower side colour (Mr.Color 308) which does dry really fast. Sorry about the photo. Lunch. Chicken and watercress roll with orangina. 385kCal. Then finished building. The fins were a bit if a fiddle, to put it mildly. Especially the folded ones on the launch version. But I'm pretty happy. I have to stop the clock there for lockdown-related childcare reasons. I hope that's OK. I've got 4 hours to paint them which I think should be do-able.

Angus Tura Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Good Evening. Restart: I am very glad to have the lockdown option. My wife doesn't usually do call but she's had to go in today because of the virus. So, thanks for that. I stopped with four hours to go but now, I suppose I've got 3.5.

Angus Tura Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Hi. Nearly there> These painted up really easily, which is to say these particular Mr.Color colours work really well. I'm a bit disappointed that there so little contrast between C307 and C308: you can barely see that the tops and bottoms are different colours.

Angus Tura Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 And relax! That was close. I hope you like them. Alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Tura Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Curses. I just failed to get them into the gallery! I hadn't realised there was a deadline. Not to worry. Here is my next planned BB. An alarming amount of etch! This will be August except in the unlikely event that we have a summer holiday, in which case it'll be Christmas.
