sitzkrieg Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Hi All, Back with an update after quite a bit of work. I've got the fuselage joined up (after much fussing and sanding), the cockpit nearly complete, the white metal undercarriage installed, and the second resin set fitted out.

Guest Nigelr32 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) Good job!! Love the Gun. Are you going to show us those HGW belts you're working on?? Edited December 15, 2012 by Nigelr32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Wolf Grant Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Stunning work .. Love the dinghy - nice shading and highlights. I also like the scratching on the beam at the rear of the office, very realistic. Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitzkrieg Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 The HGW microfabric seatbelts. I'm thinking they need a wash, or at the very least a filter spray. Thoughts anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Paul Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 The HGW Belts are really nice, If it were mine, I would use a water based clear, then mix up some oil paint and paint thinner and make a dark brownish gray wash, make it really thin though, that way you can build up the effect. Keep up the great work, All the best to you and your build, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrre Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 The problem with these belts, in general, is that they lack depth and character, like a mediocre novel :-) A bit of shadow, a bit of highlight. They will be hidden behind glass, so make them stand out a bit. Instead of wash i feel some pastels will be more controllable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nigelr32 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 In the instruction manual, they tell you to crease the material up into a ball before making them? perhaps this would give them some "character"??????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitzkrieg Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 In the instruction manual, they tell you to crease the material up into a ball before making them? perhaps this would give them some "character"??????????? My example didn't really hold creases that well, and it made the belts harder to thread through the buckles when it did. In the end I opted for the path of least resistance!! After some pastels or a wash I think they'll look okay under glass. The resin seats that came with them are a nice improvement over the revell ones (even if more fragile, but no surprise there). I'm still just completely blown away at the fact that HGW can produce functional belts in this scale!!! It's a very cool time for our hobby indeed, and a fun little mini-project.
