Wolf Buddee Posted February 6, 2011 Author Posted February 6, 2011 Getting closer Wolf! This time you put your new comment inside the the quote. Just make sure you start your new comment after the closing 'quote' tag, which looks like so: [/quote] Don't pull that electro-shock switch yet! Kev Heaven help me Kevin!
LSP_Kevin Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Heaven help me Kevin! Aha! You've done it mate. Now, show us how you paint like Rembrandt. Kev
Wolf Buddee Posted February 6, 2011 Author Posted February 6, 2011 Aha! You've done it mate. Now, show us how you paint like Rembrandt. Kev Ok, if I've done it, how come your quote comes up on the reply I give when you're looking at the screen with all the replies? The therapy has resumed and my left eye is just starting to open again and my teeth are twitching! Cheers, Wolf
LSP_Kevin Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Ok, if I've done it, how come your quote comes up on the reply I give when you're looking at the screen with all the replies? Hmm, I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean, but there are two basic ways of replying to a thread. The first is to simply click on the 'Add Reply' button at the top or bottom of each thread. This will give you a fresh post window with no quotes in it, and your post will be added to the bottom of the thread. The second method is the one we've been talking about, where you click on the 'Reply' button at the bottom of any post. This will quote the post concerned, and then pop it into a new post window, ready for you to edit. Perhaps you're wanting to do the former, but end up getting the latter? Kev
jeroenpeters Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Geezzzz Wolf.... your painting is outstanding.... Very tight and inside the lines! I'm also working on this kit, but it's on the side burner right now. Keep it up! Cheers, Jeroen

Kev Ya know, I think I got it figured out. Remember, I'm an assembler and some of us aren't too smart! Cheers, Wolf

I'm also working on this kit, but it's on the side burner right now. Keep it up! Cheers, Jeroen Thanks Jeroen. Let me know if you get the plumbing on the firewall and to the engine figured out. I've looked at sooooo many pictures and no two seem to be the same so it'll be a case of "best guess wins"! Cheers, Wolf
automaton Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) You know, Wolf, this thing is gonna be a work of art even if it doesn't have every single tube and wire that the 1:1 plane has-don't sweat it too much. Regards; Automaton Edited February 7, 2011 by automaton

Regards; Automaton Thank-you Automaton. I can assure you that it won't have everything added but Tamiya has done such a fine job of providing so many finely moulded details that glue on to the firewall, it would be a shame to have them just hanging there and not connected to anything. Call it OCD or AMS on my part. And after having stared at so many photos over the last few days it would be an even bigger shame not to add some of the plumbing and make the whole thing more visually interesting. Hopefully within the next couple of days I'll some more pics of what I've accomplished on the firewall itself. Once that's done, it's on to the engine. Cheers, Wolf
Wolf Buddee Posted February 9, 2011 Author Posted February 9, 2011 A small update. The firewall plumbing begins. The larger pipe work was done using 1/24th Detail Master sparkplug wiring. The wiring was bent to shape and then painted with an approximate 50/50 mix of Floquil Military colours Bronze and Bright Gold. Hose clamps were made using very fine strips of Bare Metal dull aluminum foil. This presented a bigger challenge than might be expected because when cut in to strips this thin the foil no longer wanted to stick. After lots of trial and error I finally managed to get enough "clamps" in place and to prevent them from falling off I sealed the foil in position with some clear flat acrylic paint. There's still more pipework to add but it'll have to be done once the engine is completed and nestled in to it's mounts. The remaining pipework will then be connected to various locations on the engine. Cheers, Wolf Model_Monkey and geedubelyer 2
LSP_Ron Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Auh, Wolf you've got it all wrong. I will PM you my address so you can mail it to me for proper disposal (in my Spit of course. Please don't forget to send the engine mounts also) thanks
Wolf Buddee Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 Hey Wolf....You missed a spot. LOL! I know, but so far you're the only one who's noticed! Cheers, Wolf
Wolf Buddee Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 Auh, Wolf you've got it all wrong. I will PM you my address so you can mail it to me for proper disposal (in my Spit of course. Please don't forget to send the engine mounts also) thanks I knew it! As soon as i completed this part I just knew that someone would pipe up with information that showed I messed it all up. I'm afraid I'll have to toss the whole works in the bin now.LOL!!!! Cheers, Wolf
