Lootenant Aloominum Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I hardly dare to post this when I see some of the exquisitely crafted models on this forum, but this might encourage those who lack patience, as I do, but want an good result with minimum effort.

JohnT Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 That’s a very nice build if I may say so. I have a Trumpy one in the stash but am afraid to contemplate trying the burnt rear end which I just know will be impossible with my skills set nicely done there. 👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Joyce Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 A very nice job on the old Esci kit, so thanks for posting it. The burnt metal area looks very convincing. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epeeman Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Jets are not really my thing, but I cannot see anything wrong with your Super Sabre - it looks a damn good model to me Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree. It looks good! Keep in mind that we're not all expected to build to the exquisite level that some achieve (and I, like some many others, sincerely appreciate the excellence of their work) , but we are encouraged to share our models and the experience gained from their building. I appreciate your posting the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lootenant Aloominum Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Thanks guys. A particular problem I have with small kits such as this one is that the photos, being larger than actual size when displayed on an average monitor, show up every flaw. Things that the naked eye does not notice (well, that I don't notice or I can ignore) show up in the photos. I get around the problem to some extent by binning the worst offending photos and by using a smaller size (typically 1333 wide) than I do for general photos. (There is nothing scientific about that figure, it is just what seems right to me.) I like to post at least one photo showing the model as a model, rather than trying to make it look like the real thing, if you see what I mean. The pic of it sitting on the table next to my tea mug is the example here. Another method I used is to take a selfie of holding the model.
