LSP_K2 25,356 Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 OK, today is the "official" day of work resuming on this beast, so she's "back on the bench". I've delayed long enough; time to wrap up this puppy, hopefully by mid-May sometime, which should be very doable, then it'll be full-tilt on a 1:32 Bf 109G-14/AS.

Ah that is what post-it notes are for. I always leave a trail of task “bread crumbs” on the notes before I set a project aside. Ramping back up is a piece of cake.

I probably should have done that, Rick, but in this case I thought it would be a lot less time before I resumed the work, certainly not the five months it's proved to be. Anyway, I'm all over it now, and expect to show some real progress very soon. Rick Griewski 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The Hobby Boss kit is actually quite reasonable, but I'm still hoping to eventually grab one of the Tamiya kits. BiggTim 1 Link to post Share on other sites
josebagasteiz 302 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 It's nice to see you go back to work with that beast of steel. I hope to see significant progress in its construction soon. Greetings. LSP_K2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_K2 25,356 Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 New supplies for this beast (and other projects). I've already been putting the finishing touches of texture on the mantlet in the background, but still have a teeny bit of tweaking to do, and I'll be ready to declare it finished. I've also done some more minor work to the hull, by using the new surfacers. My old surfacer and dissolved putty, were getting pretty long n the tooth. phasephantomphixer and LSP_Ray 2 Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_K2 25,356 Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 Found this last night, threw it in the trash today, then fetched it right back out to snatch some photos, now it goes back in the trash. It, as far as I know, is the only remaining remnant of my never finished conversion to a Jagdtiger, of the old Tamiya kit. The entire upper hull, all scratch built, was certainly here when I moved in, but I have no idea where it is now. Either way, the Trumpeter kit made the whole exercise rather pointless, as the Trumpeter kit is far superior anyway. Rick Griewski 1 Link to post Share on other sites
