Loic Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hello guys, and thanks for the nice words. All you see so far was completed a before I started the Tempest. The real challenge now is to start working on it again... but I am very motivated Kev, family is doing well. We are expecting the baby to arrive end of march but she (yes, that's a second girl) is trying to escape mum's belly since octobre... So it is already a little victory that we managed to completed the 7th month of pregnancy with the baby still inside Work is doing little better which is why I can consider modelling again All in all we are doing good my friend, thanks again for asking. Cheers, Loic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loic Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Guys! I had a great experience yesterday evening= I have been cutting and painting plastic Dear god that was good ! Being little serious now, I am happy cause I actually really managed to work on the zero and especially the IP. It does not worth a pic yet (that will come sometime later) but hey, that's a little victory for me Cheers, Loic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loic Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hi ! a few pics to show what I have done during the last few days: - added seat belts (eduard) - installed the seat - painted the IP - glued everything into staboard half of the fuselage For the IP, I tried to use some ink pens (white, silver, black) and it did work very well untill I futured the bezels... the some of the ink despite being apparently 100% dry did mixed up with the future resulting in the details not being as sharp as originally but that will do for now (I have noeasy other choice anyway). I think the overall technic is good but it needs adjustment! Cheers, Loic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
