Guest Peterpools Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 SD I really didn't change anything just fixed and finished everything that wasn't done and trying to do a better NMF. Hopefully, it will work out. Tomorrow starts the Alclad process and I have my fingers cfrossed Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Matt That's the problem with learning how to do things better - just drives me nuts. I already now know one thing I didn't know before - stripping paint off a finished model ... never again - just way too much work. Tomorrow is the day.

Guest Peterpools Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Thanks Brian Just trying to push the envelope a bit more and maybe I'll get a bit lucky and actually get there \. Peter Edited January 20, 2014 by Peterpools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Wow Peter, that's crazy! I agree with SD and thought there was nothing wrong with it originally. Doing things better/differently is what the next build is all about! But then, having rebuilt several models myself (with another one in process right now), I can certainly see where you're coming from. It'll be interesting to see where you take this!

Guest Peterpools Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Thanks Paul It just kept on gnawing at me and once Old Crow was done, it was the final nail in the coffin. I fired the canons, might as well keep on advancing the troops. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Thanks Kev To be honest, I blame this all on you ... it really found the spark in your P-40 build. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daywalker Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Cheers Peter, a man after my own heart! I have stripped half of the 1/32 kits I have built, and surprisingly my Tamiya P-51D wasn't one of them! On the first 1/32 Tamiya F-16 I built, I stripped the whole model TWICE. It really is a lot of work, but the end is always worth the trouble. I use the same technique you do, and I know it will be stunning when completed. Bring on the Duchess!

Guest Peterpools Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Thanks Frank I'm in high gear now and going all out. We have a snow storm starting today with a prediction of upto 14 inches of snow, so it looks like I'll be inside for a while working on the Duchess.

Madbox Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Really nice work, having to be redone, not a nice feeling.... Dave Edited January 21, 2014 by Madbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Thanks Dave The transformation is underway and the wings and tailplanes have been painted with Alclad Gloss Black base and the drying process has started. Looking at letting everything dry for at least 5 days and then I'll do the fuselage. Sill have my fingers crossed as Murphy can show up anytime.

Thomas Lund Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Don't see anything wrong with BBD, but I know - you are the one who has to be happy with the result ! I have a Trumpy F6F that is undergoing the same treatment (plus spreading one wing previously folded) and it has some extended periods on the shelf between stints on it... Nice to see that I'm not the only one that is daft enough to do something like this... Good luck BTW iso is not as effective as Mr Thinner, but a lot cheaper too so you might wanna try that next (LOL) time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
