Appreciate it guys. Hope to give it some time tonight.
Look forward to it mate!
And me.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
Lest We Forget
I did, but not much to show. Glued the B/F's seat in place as well as the radio cluster. Not much worth showing.
In the same boat Andy, but in my case sanding, sanding, sanding - nothing worth showing.
Motivational rut guys. Rethinking the scheme again too.
Know how you feel Andy - I haven't touched my '109F for four days! Must get back to it !
Yep, since I did the decals I haven't touched my 110.
Me too. Back hurts too much to sit at the work bench.. Been over a week now.
Today is a cool, rainy, generally crappy day. Perfect for modeling! So here's an update on some work that's getting me closer to finishing off the cockpit.
First off, I wanted to start experimenting with a technique that ajcmac has shown us in a number of his builds whereby a base colour has it's shades highlighted with a slightly darker tone and the highlights shown in a slightly lighter tone. I started with the Bordfunker's pit sidewalls by dashing a bit of black into the RLM 66 and going over the framing to create a shadow effect. After that had dried, I dry-brushed the highlights using a Medium Grey. Below is the port sidewall with a oxygen panel and hose painted up as well. The big ejector pin mark won't actually be visible on the finished model so I didn't bother trying to remove it (sorry!).
Here's the starboard side. Most of this will be hidden behind the large breaker panel.
The pilot's starboard sidewall looks a bit of a mess but you need to know that the console sits quite high up, above the two pins, so the paint blotches and ejector pin marks won't be visible.
I like how the sill panel worked out. The framing and ammo hatches stand out nicely. A bit of paint chipping following the dry brushing finished this off, although I may need to paint the cable running along the one side.
The final two shots show the completed Bordfunker's compartment. The radio cluster and the breaker panel has been cemented in, as has the unusual seat. The latter received the same treatment as the pilot's seat, with an added cushion made of Millput and lap belts fabricated from wine bottle foil plus a few left over Eduard belt parts. Apparently there wer no shoulder harnesses attached to this seat. Some photos show harnesses attached to the canopy framing so these will be added later.
That's all for now. Thanks for looking in.
Nice work Andy, looks really good, and the weather's the exact opposite here!
Send it here! It's 14 and a steady rain.
I think I'll keep it!
