Super work as always Kent - lovely figures (oil paint ?)

 

He, he, I'm still experimenting with all sorts of paint, mostly to cut corners.

It's a little bit of everything, mostly acrylics. But I've used oils too, washes, even decals (for the dress pattern).

 

Cheers: Kent

Work on the tail..

I had to rework the rudder (someone had run off with the measuring tape ;-)

After that the painstaking work of cutting and placing the masking tape.

Rudder and elevators with a lot of eyelets added.

The finished tail, now there's no way around it - I have to start rigging the beast...

Trying to get the tail struts done...

Again, they have to be scratched, none of kit struts are of the correct size, so I had to come up with a solution, adding some strength to the struts...

Here are the different stages, brass rod on the left, some added styrene to the right.

Hey Kent, do you seal the masking tape strops with thin super glue?

 

Hi Ryan, I haven't sealed the rib tapes. I think it might be a good idea though, if you could find a way to apply it without getting it all over the place. ;)

So, time to begin putting this 'baby' together...

The passenger seats for the rear cabin.

Two of the passengers in the chairs.

The seats fitted into the cabin.

Started the assembly and rigging of the tail too.

This is my first time using GasPatch turnbuckles. They are indeed very nice, but tend to break, I will have to be careful using them.

 

Cheers: Kent
