emlra Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Ah, at last....a way to stop Cranwell graduates picking their noses, amputate their arms! The Navy did it by putting brass buttons on Petty Officers sleeve cuffs. The Pongoes just don't bother about it! Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I don't know, you've done an excellent job so far, but you wouldn't believe it looking at the expressions on the flight crew, may be they don't approve of in being stuck in one place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phartycr0c Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) Folks, I know I need shooting when it comes to this Work In Progress, Iv'e hardly been giving regular updates purely because I cant balance exactly how much you guys and gals would be interested in. For starters, the purists would be able to drive the proverbial coach and horses through this build in terms of accuracy and dare I say it, scale. For example things like the IR receivers, flare dispensers various lumps bumps and bulges, are very much "Guesstimated" from photos Iv'e collected and roughly scaled up / down as needed. The actual equipment hanging off the sides may not be totally accurate and iv'e totally omitted the external winch, However I do know that when BN was initially deployed to Iraq this wasn't fitted, neither were the Massive dust filters on the engines. To bring everyone up to date, I have scratch built the bumps and bulges using Miliput, plastic card, copper wire and leftover resin offcuts. She was painted with Humbrol 86 then washed with a mix of Humbrol 86 and revell 16 a, light yellow brown. I was aiming for a dusty work worn look and believe me that is exactly what I had up to the point of sealing her with Citadel Purity seal which dumbed down the dusty look a little too much for my liking. Superb decals were supplied by Paul at Parkes682Decals. they went on well and settled down beautifully considering im using Klear as a setting agent. Anyhow on with the show. Oh and the walkway decals are far too bright. If there is a next time I will be spraying them!!!! Overall I just hope you folks think I have done such a historic bird as Bravo November the justice she deserves.
