Guest Peterpools Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Rick Geez .. fantastic detail work on the Mossie .. she is looking simply beautiful. Love the details - super work. Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) Instead of using decals for the inside canopy frame I opted for a different solution. After making a form out of MilliPut from an extra canopy I used .30 rod to construct inside canopy frame. After spot glue I took a hair dryer to form the rod. Trimmed and painted. Sorry for crummy out of focus image. I lost a bunch of images from the interior. Dammit! This is best I have. Canopy rods?? OMG That is AWESOME!!! Love the mottling done as well - expert and perfectly performed. Are you sure you don't have a Mossie in your back yard you are checking this against? Looks amazing can't wait to see it in person. Are you bringing it to the next meeting? Chris Edited May 12, 2017 by CANicoll Girlscanplay2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 I'm unfamiliar with the marbling process but I like the results. What's the technique? Details again...........are tops. Marbeling is a by product (requirement) of black basing. Black basing works for me and I really like the results I can achieve. There still may be pre-shading in my future. However, the black basing approach is clever and I'm having fun improving my air brush skill sets every time I use this method. Here is video link from Doogs' Models: Doogs' Black Basing Video First time marbeling results when I worked on my FW190.

I'm going to watch that video sometime today and thanks for taking the time to get back to me on it. I accidentally discovered black basing on my own when working with my automotive engines to bring out alot of the shadows and crevices in the builds. I won't photo bomb your thread but I'll merely post a link to show you what I'm talking about : http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=66897&page=5 That marbling is what I was referring to though and hope to learn the process in that video. Thanks again and this build of yours here ROCKS!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Rick your build could not have come at a better time, also doing SH Tempest V but happy with the proportions so pressing ahead. But also have the Mossie FB VI Tamiya in 1/48 in the stash. Probably going to the 48th before I tackle the 32nd so I may borrow some of your ideas..........

Guest Peterpools Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Rick You absolutely have the touch - black basing looks spot on. Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel_W Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Mark, Your 1/48 scale Tamiya Mosquito conversion to a Mk IV is another incredible build. The canopy frame really is an outstanding piece of engineering that will add a lot to the finished model. I've been a devote of Black Basing since I 1st saw the technique via Doog's video.

I have the 1/32 TAM Mossie and it might be awhile before I crack that kit open. This 1/48 build was to be a quick build and it turned into a whole lot more. Some finicky assembly points with canopy, landing grear and wing tips provided me plenty of drama. Rick You absolutely have the touch - black basing looks spot on. Keep 'em coming Peter Yo!

Rick K Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Brake Work Using wire from an old electronic device I fashoned the brake lines using Tamiya's 1/32 instruction sheet as a reference. A little slice of Waspi Stretch Tubing for attach points. CA glue secures the wire at brake drum and attach point. Identification lights are MV Products lenses. I carefully drilled out the engraved lights out of the fuselage with a #44 drill bit. Using epoxy I carefully pace the lenses in the drilled holes. A little squirrly to position. The results are worth the angst. So close to wrapping this project up. I want this off my bench.
