[Mini Me]

Thank you Tony and JR, yes the decals were not an enjoyable experience...on top of the corrugated material the film was rather thick and unwilling to bend to my whims.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Nice updates

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks Lee, won't be long now.

 

[Lee Drennen]

won't be long now.

That’s what the Monkey said when he got his tail cut off Rick lol.

After a brief visit from the Geek I am back in action.....Decals on and cargo doors hung and fixed in place. Need to install the cockpit glass, tidy up some paint and maybe some light weathering and "Big Bird" will be done. View attachment 476324

Coming on VERY nicely Rick!

That's looking A1 Rick

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks Joe, not the best of kits but it should be alright as a supporting actor in the final scene. Glad you stopped by.

 

[The Smythe Meister]

Still following from the cheap seats Rick
Despite you bemoaning the kit,it's looking excellent with all of your efforts, great stuff mate.

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks Andy, that's very kind of you.

 

[The Smythe Meister]

Thanks Andy, that's very kind of you.

Not "Kind" mate... Just well deserved

 

[Lee Drennen]

Me too Rick just waiting on the final on this or the final on you giving up on this beast lol.

 

[Mini Me]

Not giving up Lee.....I'm too heavily invested. Here's where it's at presently.

 

[Lee Drennen]

That’s good Rick keep it going liking the Ambulance is it time to wrap this up or do you plan on adding more details to make it POP more? I know it’s hard in this scale to get a satisfaction of detail due to the very small size of it.

Just read through this from start to finish. What a labour of love or maybe determination. What a superb job. Glad you stuck with it @Mini Me .
Gives new comers like me the inspiration to do better!

 

[Tim Marlow]

Looks great Rick. Despite all the troubles it’s looking the bomb.

Not sure at this point Lee, I know I need to get some weathering on it but I thought I'd do the base first to see what l end up with, so I can get a better idea as to how to proceed with the bird. I just put the other vehicles in to get an idea of future placement when I get around to doing the little dio I have in mind. Thanks for stopping by and glad you like it.

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks Gordon. I'm definitely going to stick with it to the end

 

[Lee Drennen]

Once you get it weathered I think everything will fall into place can wait for the dio.your always welcome my friend

 

[Mini Me]

Tim, still a ways to go but it will get there. Bombs had crossed my mind a time or two during this build....thanks for the compliment.
