whiskytngofxtrt Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Hi, Dave! I got stalled for a few weeks--school board elections, broken air compressor, but the election's over and the compressor's fixed, so I'll be back at it this weekend--I've closed up the fuselage, and I'm preparing to finish the seams before painting it up and weathering it. I'm loving how incredible the detailed Mercedes engine looks, too. Here's a fuzzy pic for now bstachel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiskytngofxtrt Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 I've been off work for throat surgery, and in the meantime I've had time to return to some serious work at my workbench. I shattered the decals on my wings when I tried to mask and spray shadows between the ribs. I had to remove all the paint to get the decal bits off. So, I resprayed the top of the wing, sealed with Future, and put the shadows on. It's looking all right! I know I'll need to tone the markings waaaaay down, so they don't appear so bright that they look like they're floating above the finish. I also tack-glued the engine cover panels onto the fuselage, and hit the whole shebang with a primer to check the seams. Filled a few short gaps with putty, wet-sanded, then primed again. Just small gaps left. Trying out Mr. Surfacer to fill those. REEALLLY excited to be back at work on this bird! Oh--and check out this spiffy tray I rescued from packing material to keep my subassemblies safe: Thanks for looking in--I'm hoping to be posting more frequently again!

whiskytngofxtrt Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Quick post--decaling the fuselage tonight! Here's hoping the 2-year-old granddaughter goes to sleep on time so I can get back to it... mywifehatesmodels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiskytngofxtrt Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Spring Break! Two weeks of vacation from the daily grind of preparing lesson plans, grading student work, meetings, conferences, and union work! Two weeks to get something--ANYTHING!--on my workbench closer to completion! So, back to the Albatros! Working on the wings right now: Getting small parts attached--radiators painted, drilling holes in hinge line, and reinforcing aileron connections with wire: Also doing the same with the elevators: Tnarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
