Mal_Belford Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Nope im not nutz....but Crazy..and stubborn....LoL... The bad bad bad error i did and it is not ignore it...i the damaged wood marks...as they are to big and to long...and tp deep a few of them...and.... As the paint job...it would be easier to fix...and it were pleasing.... Thanks for the encouragement from all of you.... I will do a new base instead..... In my caae better....and note the aircraft itself it is finnished and done here...and will be publised soon. Lessons for Mal to learn from... Dont do to many steps in building at once (especial in weathering late)..as i did on On this base....... And lesson two...on order to succeed...you have to fail and learn ffom it.... Bittersweet feel here ffor me folks. To repeat...I Will Do A New Base...but a break from this saga is needed. I need to do a Quick Build Oob... Yes a BF109 Eduard it is as i usually do...or a 1:48 Hurricane... Just to remind myself why i build ...fun...relax...therapy...enjoyable...all that. This saga aint over yet..... /Mal alaninaustria, tomv87, BGB and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka HI Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Mal, I think you are a perfectionist - as long as you don't abandon the project, do what you must. I'm curious, though, can you post a bigger picture of what you see as an issue, because I can't see what the issue is. Mal_Belford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hansen Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) There is no Failure. There is Success..... and Data. Before you bin it, try sanding it down a bit and try re-painting with Tamiya. It might still be salvageable. -d- Edited November 8, 2016 by David Hansen Mal_Belford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1to1scale Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Mal, you son of a *****! You took me on a journey of the best build I have ever seen! I learned so much from you, then when I saw the picture of the broken gear I actually yelled out, “oh noooooo!†Then you quit. I was left heartbroken, and again elated when you rallied to finish it and repair it! If I ever learn half of what you know, I will be happy. Stunningly marvelous build. I am speechless.

Ol' Scrapiron Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I'm glad this comment was made so that this build could be brought up to the top of the list (I never would have dug back that far to find it otherwise.) I just spent some wonderful hours reading through this thread and have been grinning ear to ear in awe of your build and the greatness that is Mal's Way. How you overcame setbacks and solved 'problems' in a way that made everything better than expected... better BY FAR!!! Please tell me that the Corsair is complete and nicely displayed somewhere even if you weren't pleased with the staining on the deck. Like 1to1scale, I felt a bit of a gut punch when this thread came to an abrupt halt, apparently more than a year ago. Some mighty fine work you put into that build and a real treat to see it throughout all 66 pages. Wow. Just wow!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
