chukw Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 Thanks everyone- Matt was a member here- Scrodes: https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/profile/2413-scrodes/ He was a damn fine modeler and a good friend. Thanks, LSP_Kevin! I never really left. James Rademaker- I think they're sometimes the best part. That's very much appreciated, Tom- thanks. Thanks, Troy- I think I'm finally back from my long recuperation- cheers! Thanks to you as well, Rich! I'm currently stretching my skills by sculpting all-new upholstery on the bang seats from Magic Sculpt epoxy putty. Not looking too terrible so far!

chukw Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 Thanks, Maru! I appreciate your kind words and yeah, Matt was a good man and a great friend. I have so much planned for this little kit- and I hope I can make it all come true. Stay tuned! Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chukw Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 There's a bit of a curse in having lots and lots of reference on a build. I keep finding new things about the Mohawk, and have been figuring out some of the more shadowy ends as well. In spite of my soon-to-be corrected cataracts and relapsing vision problems I've actually gotten some stuff done! Come along and see just what, won't you?

Troy Molitor Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Nice update Chuck. The FWD canopy really looks great. Same with the seats. Troy chrish and chukw 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy! Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) Whoo hoo! Another update. I must say the effort to do so much detailing on the inside of the windscreen is varsity level effort. It’s an often overlooked place to add detail that makes such a difference on a finished model. Also bang seats boom! Timmy! (No I’m not copying Troy simultaneous hive mind post I guess.)

Daywalker Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 What a treat Chuck, I didn't realize before now that you post your work here! Going waaaaay back to my days over at FSM, your builds always inspired me to do better. Not only are they informative and CRAZY good, but the presentation and anecdotes made for a wonderful read! I am so glad to see you here, and I look forward to more of your work. Okay, back to the thread! Love what you're doing here, amazing attention to detail as always.

Uncarina Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Champion work as always Chuk! And to think this is 1/48 scale—even more impressive! Cheers, Tom chukw and Troy Molitor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chukw Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 Thanks, Troy! My David Union sander and router now live full-time on my workbench and I use them all the time- cheers! Cheers, Timmy- high praise from you! I breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the hydraulics in you Jaguar nose bay- I kind sorta got things right! Shucks, Brian- many thanks! Much appreciated Kev- and thanks for all you do to make this place possible. Glad you found me, Daywalker- your kind recollections warm the rusty little cockles of my heart. When I looked at Penney Abe next to that windscreen I was amazed myself that this thing 1/48. Cheers indeed, Tom. I'm pretty chuffed for this kindness- again, my thanks.

Pete Fleischmann Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Think I might make some of those rubber bracelets that say "WWCD?" (What would Chuck Do?) and sell them to every modeler to wear when they are at the bench. Your solutions to problems are clearly a gift from a higher power. Love it Pete Uncarina, chukw and Daywalker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chukw Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 Thanks, Pete- you're too kind, pal. I'm just making it all up as I go along, and I'm happy to share the odd nut I pick up on my rambles. Cataract surgery went well, this morning- just waiting for my right eye to calm down and start working normally again- cheers!

scvrobeson Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Fantastic update Chuck! Glad you're feeling better after the surgery, can't wait to see what you come up with next on this. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
