CANicoll Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Peter: That is one big Owl and I also had no idea it really was just a flying fuel tank. I can't tell where you had to rescribe the panel lines - that is looking really good - and those open side are very long. Wow - like you said that is a lot of detail painting. But if you are going to put that bird into a vignette, it is going to be A REALLY BIG VIGNETTE! Although I have to admit, I like the striped socks. Maybe a WWI meets WWII kind of scenario.

Guest Peterpools Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) Hi Justin Much appreciated. I finally have the nose section on and what a job. I don't think ZM could have figured out how to put any more layers of parts in to making it any more complicated. While I've been sanding and cleaning up the seams, I started on the engine bulkheads and have been spending a lot of time doing the detail paint work; it looks pretty good including the two small fuel bladders. Then comparing them to the three fuselage fuel cells, I decided to repaint all the derails as I'm now use to what the colors should be. Looks so much busier now. Pics later this week.

Guest Peterpools Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Thanks Ben, very much appreciated. Taking a short break from the fuselage and doing a lot of the internal wing nacelle details painting and then back to the Owl's nose assembly Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Brother Bear, much appreciated. Moving forward and starting to tinker with how to do the cammo. Always something Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 John, so very much appreciated. I'm hoping all the frustrating fit problems are behind me and over with. The nose assembly is now on and I've been doing a lot of hand detail painting in the engine nacelles, while taking a short break form sanding and filling. It is surprising how some color adds to the interest of the moldings. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Thanks Chris, very much appreciated. My little friend Otto is a bit of a joke and he was the last figure I had painted. Just thought he looked good hanging out with the Owl. I've been doing a lot of detail painting in the nacelle, as it's a nice break from all the sanding and filling I needed to do, so the next update should be on the colorful side. After doing the wing fuel cells, I thought the fuselage fuel cells being the first assemblies I tackled, were a bit on the dull and plain Jayne side, I repainted a good portion of each one - looks so much better. The vignette will just a be a base under the Owl, some grass and dirt and a few figures. Hopefully it will look ok Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Thanks Brian .. I know I'm going to regret this: but so far, know I'm moving along slowly with no stumbling blocks in sight! Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
