brahman104 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I am all for stealing these awesome ideas, however apparently you require a generous dose of talent to make it all work. Do you sell bottled talent on your website Peter? Craig airscale and allthumbs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 With modelling standards/quality at this level I'm thinking of just giving up and taking up knitting instead!! Stunning work (as us usual!) Peter. Iain airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironwing Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Proof positive, that no matter how much you grow as a modeler, there's always somebody out there who is twice as good. In this case Peter, 10X as good. What an inspiration you are! Chuck Don't encourage him...it will only make him better.

chukw Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Good gravy! "some tiny little bits no-one will ever see..." Glad I've seen them, then! airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airscale Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 chaps I can truly say I am blushing and humbled - those are some very nice things said about my efforts I always hope whatever I post inspires people to try things - I would be mortified if it put anyone off or made them think they couldn't do it like that, or felt in any way intimidated or challenged by it - although I did wet myself laughing at the knitting club nice one Steve.. ..I haven't had much time this week, but I did decide I had to get the exterior of the fuselage finished before I could get much more done in the cockpit. This is because I don't want to be doing any rough handling with all those little fiddly bits inside.. ..that meant getting the tailskid area sorted out - the skid itself and the skinning around it.. ..this is the skid - note the 'V' shaped frame and mounting bracket, the rounded skid/shoe part, and when I get to them the big domed rivets.. ..first step was to open out the floor area a little as I had made it too shallow - this was later lined with pre-rivetted litho.. ..for the 'T' shaped mounting bracket I started with a bit of brass stock (I seem to work a lot more with metal these days, not sure why..) where I drilled a hole and then used a dremel & grinding disc to grind away so as to leave what looks like the welded structure.. I always find it easier to form a part as much as possible while it is still attatched to the stock it is being made from, and then the final step is to remove it and clean up.. ..same with the skid shoe itself.. this started as abit of thick walled copper pipe.. ..I made up a variety of parts to construct the skid and it's mounting & brackets ..starting to assemble the skid arm.. ..and with the mounting fixtures.. ..and this is where the assembly will sit in the airframe... ...I need to do the exterior skinning still, but at least once this is done the skid assembly can just drop in when I need it to.. thanks for dropping by..

Hubert Boillot Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Ok, I rather think that YOU should take up knitting, Peter (and we could thus let the knitting experts deal with you ) Then the rest of the LSP community could come back to its normal average-skilled modelling without any inferiority complex. How's that for a plan ? Hubert PS: outstanding (what a lame superlative in this case) job as usual ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
