Kagemusha Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 So much to admire, but I particularly like the upper metal cowl, superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem was is that I didn’t sand it there in the first place! If you read Afvmodellers post a page back, he had to put in two days to get that sharp edge. I missed the fact that it was supposed to be sharp in the first place and just glued the turtle deck on. Due to the fit of the part, I had to blend it in and thought it was rounded instead of sharp so resulted in the stripping and rework as seen. wunwinglow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Ah, great save Eric! I know it was a whole lot of work, but it definitely does look better with the sharp edge on the fuselage. Can't wait to see it completed Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Those metallic tones are just excellent, a tricky looking build but looking so good. Regards. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Glad to see you back on this, Eric! Nice modeling work to get this together and great paintwork! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericg Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 Thanks for the comments guys. I was was hoping to have this one ready for our local show last weekend, but halfway through rigging the model, I had to drop everything because this happened: needless to say, once the dust had cleared, I was able to slip back into the man cave when nobody was watching and I spent a few hours finishing off this wonderful model. I rigged it with EZ-line and kept it simple by adding Bobs buckles brass tube. A hell of a challenging build due to its complex nature. Better photos soon!

LSP_Ray Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Wow, congrats, Eric!!! Is it a boy or girl? I don't think 'dust had cleared' is the right term. I think 'after room had been mopped up' might have been better. Anyway, the model looks spectacular. Love the weathering on the lowers. , as usual!

Dukie99 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Congrats on the new baby, always an awesome time! The model is not bad either...well it is actually the most beautiful WWI model I have ever seen. I would love to build one too but I don’t have your skills. I look forward to your next build.

Hubert Boillot Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) Well done on both models ! Of course the one in the fisrt pic is much better, considering its complexity ... Looking forward for your next one (plastic or resin thing I mean ) Hubert Edited August 29, 2018 by Hubert Boillot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale32 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 No prizes for guessing which ones more work lol. The 1:1 is much more satisfying though....... congrats. Cheers Bevan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
