A leaky modeling room ..... disaster!!!!!!

I can appreciate your good lady not wanting spraying done indoors though ..... my partner is tolerant but i think she'd draw the line there.

Looks like a nice little model ... i would imagine that with hardly any detail there you have a lot of scope to play with and add your own if you wanted to make it a little special.

In 1/72 .... you have a task ahead, there's certainly a fair few dials, knobs, straps and "waggly sticks" in there eh Ian.

I'm sure you'll come up with something thats more than passable as per usual.

Ian ,great stuff there with such a small scale!

 

[CDW]

See ... i knew you'd come up with something groovey

 

[mossiepilot]

Its not brilliant but hey you wont see it when its locked away inside, says you.

Hey Ian, don't knock yourself down.

At 1/72 this can't be much bigger than your thumb.

I'm very impressed.

Tony.

 

[papa 695]

Well thakyou all for the kind words as i said id have enjoyed building the cockpit but its all practice for when i start the 1/72 hercules later on

 

[CDW]

its all practice for when i start the 1/72 hercules later on

Isn't that supposed to be a little ....errrrr...... "fiddly", to say the least ??

I see why you wanted this as practice now heh heh

 

[papa 695]

Hi all Help needed rised panel lines having sanded some down how do you get them back ? or do you have to rescibe the whole lot ? Hope its not a daft question

 

[colin m]

Detailing 1:72 can be quite a laugh. Good effort so far. Generally you're right about rescribing the lost panel lines. But, there's no need to do them all if you don't want too. Just replace the missing ones with scribed lines (I do mean the whole line, not just the missing bit)

Colin m....

 

[James Q]

How are you getting on with this?

 

[papa 695]

Hi James, its at a stand still at the moment, been fixing up a new modeling room to spray in, but will start again soon.

 

[papa 695]

Got the office locked away wings and tail plane on and primed. Had a go at re-scribing not very good so will need to fill it and start again View attachment 37947 View attachment 37948 and theres a bit of filling to do between the front and rear wheel wellsView attachment 37949
