chukw Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Thanks, guys! Life after a big move throws a lot of surprises at you, along with all of life's regular highs and lows. Just in modeling I've gone through periods of not even looking at the bench, to hours of studying the subject and subsequent squalls of charging ahead and then banging my against the table. It's been about 7 weeks since my last post, so here's a long one for you. Forgive me if I reiterate some basics- my original mission remains to instruct and entertain, and help grow our beloved hobby. Cheers!

LSP_Kevin Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Excellent update, Chuk! You must spend as much time illustrating and annotating your images, as you do modelling! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncarina Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Chuk, Absolutely sensational! That meticulous attention to detail is matched by your talent as an educator! As always, thanks for sharing, and I love the view in your non-airplane pics. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chukw Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Thanks, Harvey! Progress! Here's the latest from my bench- enjoy! It may be a while before the next update- I've got another project that will sideline the LanceR for a bit. I'll let you know more about that as soon as I can- cheers!

LSP_Kevin Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Fantastic work, Chuk! And your figure in this update is spellbinding. A real Mona Lisa. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I always love what you post! Each of your builds could be made into a book--I'd buy them even if I don't build the kits due to your talent, ingenuity, and creativity! Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Very interesting step by step build, and a lot of good ideas. I'm building the same in 1/32, from the Trumpeter Mig-21MF and the Icaero conversion as well. Very funny build. But i put it aside for a few weeks, too, as i also have a lot of other builds at the same time. Just an information : you said the nail polish remover has a bad reaction with the platic (because of the acetone) when you clean your seams of Mr surfacer or Squardon putty. You can use some Tamiya lacquer thinner or Gunze Mr Color thinner instead. It's as efficient as the nail polish remover, but it's totally harmless for the plastic.

chukw Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 Thanks, my friends! It's a project outside my comfort zone, and I'm learning a lot from it. I hope to get a little bench time in today, as the kit for my first magazine article build hasn't yet arrived. I'm really excited about that, and the subject is an old favorite that I've been itching to build. Stay tuned- and cheers! Here's a bonus- I know it's been reviewed here before, but you may enjoy it. andromeda673, Derek B, Uncarina and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
