geedubelyer Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 It looks as though it may be a marked improvement Fozzy, well done. I would n't worry about the odd small imperfection as I suspect that this may make your model look even more realistic. Enjoy your summer and I look forward to when you can pick this back up.

LSP_Kevin Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Yeah, that's better, Martin! Enjoy your holiday, and we'll see you in September. Hopefully you'll get a chance to check in on us before then, though. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hey Fozzy, if the camera shows "every little imperfection" then I think you are on to a winner - I can't see many imperfections at all! Big improvement, looking forward to the next update after you get back. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Indeed! Looks great! The previous foil application did looksmkre like a bunch of individual squares together and did look a little "paper" like. This iteration looks MUCH better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzy Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 Good afternoon everyoneLong time no post!I Arrived back to Bulgaria after a long stay in UK....and very nice it was too...except , of course , I got withdrawal symptoms from lack of modelling!!...soon fix that!I do hope everyone had a great summer! So looking at my last post I announced that I was going to skin the B17 with Alutape....well I haven't quite finished yet as it is a bit of a fiddly operation...what with having to measure up sections and punching all the rivets!Just the front section to go and a bit of tidying up of some of the joints and then its on to the nose art work.Here are a few photo's of how she's looking............................ I'll finish the rest of the skinning then get back to you. BTW......did I tell you how good it was to be back on LSP Cheers Fozzy AlexM, Rainer Hoffmann, Out2gtcha and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fozzy Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Hi guysIt took some time but at long last I have finished skinning the fuselage with alutape!...certain sections I had to re do and fill a few gaps with kitchen alu foil but I am pleased with the end result.Photographing was a bit of a nightmare due to the shine but here they are...I hope you all aprove! I can't believe that I only have a few posts left after all this time!! ...to sum up all I have to do is place the MGs on the chin turret and the nose cheek positions........... ....make a crew hatch door......... and finally do some sort of nose art.... The nose art will be the tough one for me!...I need something pretty damn easy to copy as I am going to hand paint it...so far I have looked at many nose art photos that were on the "all aluminum " B17Gs...most of them being half undressed ladies! ...so I am still looking!...I do like the "Aluminum overcast" nose art however!...if you guys know of anything simple but interesting let me know! I'll be back when the Mgs are on and the hatch built Cheers for looking in lads Fozzy TaffyMan, chukw, Uilleann and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
