stevej60 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 As I have little in the stash what to build will depend on a visit to my LMS,I might go for a figure,tank or aircraft something simple but I always love these Blitzbuilds so no way am I missing one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Hi Steve, something quick to build! A plane with four or more engines will do! Now, are we, in the colonies, being fed disinformation? I thought you guys were in a 20th tier lock-down and unable to breathe without an authorization signed by Boris himself, let alone visit a LMS!!!! Unless of course modelling has become an essential priority... That would be nice! I know you'll find something to build! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted December 26, 2020 Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 Hi folk's I'm doing my build over two sessions tomorrow and the day after as we had plans for today,well the plans fell through so while at a loose end I decided to practice on the Comet,it's took about three hours and probably about another for the last bits and bobs base was painted a suitable colour then brushed with liquid poly and grass added,once dry I brushed off the excess and toned down the brightness with a darker green then brown.Great fun! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some of the static grass stuff but I sprinkle over a mix of PVA glue and matt varnish (don’t want shiny). Wouldn’t have thought liquid poly cement would have anything to stick to between paint and non-poly grass, but clearly it does...

Yes work's fine Adrian,brush on the glue and sprinkle it on patting it well down,once dry I brush off the excess it stays well in place the spray paint to tone it down alst helps bind it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I'd completely forgotten that Revell rebox the excellent Matchbox armoured kits with their own bases. Nice one Steve 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 Afternoon folk's,well one to many Whiskey's last night meant a much delayed start so a noon kick off I'm off out later so two hours I've got for today's session. In between this and a couple of other projects calling it a day for now pleased with progress might squeeze a little session in tonight but build on schedule so far. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 Evening folk's,started another session where I left of earlier. And finished about an hour later for the day,just a few odd jobs left tomorrow and I'll see how the figures look after painting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 Hi folk's last session involves a few touch ups and a stab at painting a couple of figures. And an hour later all done fixed in place and a spray of Matt coat over the finished model. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Smashing work! It looks like I've missed a trick by never having built a Matchbox/Revell vehicle - they all look like smashing models of interesting subjects.
