Greetings all. Well I have been lurking around here for quite some time. Now time to share. Was working on a couple of things, seen below. The TIE Interceptor. (Will we ever really know what scale it is?) Also the Eduard 1/4 scale Me 110 Instrument panel. Okay. Here is the workspace. (Mancave in the Basement.) The subject: Progress thus far: This is OOB. From what I can tell, looks pretty good for detail, but I'm not a rivet counter. This is going to be a Hartmann bird. Many thanks to Cpig, (Joe), I have masks for it. There are many things that are going to be dones here that I have not attempted before, or that I have attempted and failed miserably. For one, dry brushing. In the past, I have failed miserably. This past weekend I was talking to an employee of a LHS that does what we do, ( the other are all about RC stuff), and I was able to get better instruction on dry brushing. Above you see the engine. Applied what I have learned I have. You be the judge...but from what I have done in the past, this is an improvement multiplied by 100 from what I have tried before. Never attempted -- Masking -- Results: TBD, but that a ways down the road, so please be patient. This is a good seguay to the other thing I haven'ty really done, patience...I get to a point in a build that I revert back to 10 y.o. and start rushing. I'm forcing myself to 'grow up' for this build. (I'm 42 btw.) I need to slow down, and, (as I'm sure y'all have had parents and/or teachers say), do a good job! I cannot promise regular updates, but will do my best as life allows. Rambling over. Cheers, Dave Here's a 1/32 Trump. Corsair that I did a few years back. Snake is decal, cowling painted.

Will this stuff work on regular styrene parts?

HOLY C**P!!!! I would love to have seen that in person....hmm, wonder if they will bring the 262 to Oshkosh? That'd be bloody awesome!!!! Prost! Dave

You build tall ships in little bottles because "it's relaxing" don't you? Great work. I think I'd end up cross-eyed trying to do that. Cheers, Dave -
Wolf Buddee....how would you like to be a millionaire...building Spits
Hartmann352 replied to a topic in LSP Discussion
But hey...It has an upgraded cockpit door, sharpened exhaust pipes, hand-painted markings, and detailed with metal tubing to simulate hoses and wiring!! You know, that sort of stuff that you never see, ohh, say, like, maaayyybe.... around here. Pssshh, and free shipping to boot. What a bargain Cheers, Dave (Then there is the Zero that he built... 8K? - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pro-Built-1-32-Zero-Fighter-A6M2-Fine-Art-Semi-Custom-Model-by-Nagao-Kozaburo-/150809030899?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item231ceb30f3 ) -
Looks like the 1/32 P-40K is being re-issued
Hartmann352 replied to Collin's topic in LSP Discussion
Aye Pavel, I have seen that, but I have a LOOOOONG wy to go before I can tackle a conversion kit such as that. Been watching one on e-bay forever, but that one you provided appears to be less costly. (guess it would depend on shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/320878510844?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 ) Cheers, Dave -

Would really like to see an F/L be issued in 1/32. Cheers, Dave -
Per this following link, October, 2012. Here's to hoping! http://www.revell.de/index.php?id=210&KGKANR=0&KGKOGP=10&KGSCHL=2&L=1&page=3&sort=0&nc=1&searchactive=&q=&SWO=&ARMAS4=&PHPSESSID=bc0d57934d490bfc496619d0fa801aa3&KZSLPG=&offset=19&cmd=show&ARARTN=04666&sp=1

Darn nice bird, love the paint. I've really liked F-5s since....... well, lets just say a long time. Oh, and I do not have an answer for the question. Cheers, Dave

The head wound soldier looks awesome! shaggy hair and all. I am no good at people. (that's why all my a/c are controlled by A.I. )
-
This is great. This bird has interested me for a bit, built 2 in 1/48 with a 3rd waiting in the stash. Cheers, Dave
-
Very Nice!! Glad you hung in there. Really digging the paint. Noticed pictures of the 'pit are from 2008. Wow! Not sure wether to take it as perseverance, a glutton for punishment, or both. Truly a great job though -- Kudos to you. Cheers, Dave

Anybody fancy their own Panavia Tornado ?
Hartmann352 replied to A.Wolf Grant's topic in General Discussion
Now that'd be cool. Wife and the Village might have an issue though with that sitting in the front yard. "Honey, I'm going out to my fort." Ha, remember building "forts" when you were a kid? Cheers, Dave -
Looks good, and different to say the least. And here I thought once the decals proved themselves to be a PITA, you would have just done masks and painted all of that on there. Cheers, Dave

1:20 Scale completely scratch built Royal Aircraft Factory SE5a

Looks great - you have WAYYY more patience than I. Cheers, Dave -

Revell 1/32 Spitfire.....with a twist
Hartmann352 replied to xmh53wrench's topic in Ready for Inspection
Nice job -- I actually had to go back and look at the first pic regarding the landing gear...very nice. -
Oo Oo Oo, I want one!! Hmm, guess I should go ahead and do the 110 panel then. Dave
-
Just awesome! Anyone else here jealous? Dave
-
Very nice. Well done. I really like the cowling. Painted, yes? I really like the stripes and checkers on the Fw-190 cowlings, just way to afraid to attempt to paint them. Honestly, very nice indeed. Cheers, Dave

Looks like THIS is the ultimate He219 reference
Hartmann352 replied to richdlc's topic in LSP Discussion
Found this...third post eludes to a 3rd edition. http://www.luftwaffe-experten.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=15208 Cheers, Dave -
Wow!!! I have this one waiting in the wings....going to do the Polish AF with the Swordfish on the sides...(took awhile to find that set of 'cals...hope they are good.) Going to be strictly OOB, (except for the 'cals)...not good enough for AM stuff like the office. Looking quite beautiful Kevin. Something about these, the extreme angles and rocket, yet airplane shape....I don't know, caught my eye the very first picture I saw. Watching and patiently awaiting to see you cross the finish line with this one Kevin. Cheers, Dave
-
Impressive!! that first photo, I thought there wasn't any "glass" in the canopy, just the framing. Simply beautiful. On Wisconsin! Cheers, Dave
-
Aww, come on...give us 3 to choose from and we'll pick the next one for you. Dave
-
Woo Hoo!!!! I can't wait.....Finally have a direction. Finishing up a F-16N ...well, so close to being ready for paint, I can smell the fumes... Then break out the 1/24 Trumpy G-6 Late. Cannot wait to use these to paint "my own aircraft". Dave
