Shawn M Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 thanks guys! got the base made last night, had to let the glue dry so I can add a finish onto the base now, Found a nice chunk of Maple for the base and made a sloppy a$$ hole in it for the dowl...ugh....oh well Of course I knocked off an antennae this morning before work as I HAD to pose it on the stand...sigh BradG and Alain Gadbois 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Gadbois Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Knocking parts off finished models is an integral part of the hobby! I've used a washer in the past to hide poorly drilled holes in bases. Can be painted to blend in with the wood colour. Shawn M and RLWP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn M Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Got the stand stained last night, I will get some RFI pics of the model this weekend. I plan to mask and paint the MIG logo on the base as well. BradG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn M Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) gonna tidy up a few non-lsp non-aircraft models, then I may dive into the BF-110G4 conversion or something more simplified...really not sure as I have a LOT of options. Potential List: Hasegawa N1K2 21st Century A6M2 Revell FW-190F8 Revell HE-219 BF-110G4 Conversion Kitty Hawk T-6G Roden O-2A everything else I have earmarked for a crazy detailed build or will require rescribing Edited March 1, 2018 by Shawn M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not without a few minor issues, but just a beautiful kit. What are you planning for the show in September? Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) oh man, no idea for the show My Typhoon for sure, my cobra daytona coupe as well. Outside of that Im not sure at all. I've been persuaded to tackle the HE-219 next, painted up like the NASM example. Edited March 1, 2018 by Shawn M LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
