Those pieces look fantastic. Second the weathering on the seat!

lesofprimus · 05-21-2009, 06:25 PM

Thanks Chris, the lighting doesnt do it justice tho..... Im quite proud of the front panel, the best one Ive ever done.... Having that magnifyer made it possible....

Njaco · 05-21-2009, 06:28 PM

I have yet to master using a magnifyer. I get vertigo or something. So its the ole granny glasses for me!

lesofprimus · 05-21-2009, 06:30 PM

Dude, I have to use the 2x Granny glasses from Walmart AND the magnifyer to see those small frickin knobs and buttons....

Njaco · 05-21-2009, 10:36 PM

I tried that and decided that the magnifier I need has to be 4' x 4'!

Airframes · 05-21-2009, 11:08 PM

Phew! I'm glad I'm not the only one using reading glasses and a magnifier! Don't know how I'd get by without the magnifier on the 'Helping Hands' gizmo! And, I sometimes use my old Graphic Arts 10x glass, designed for measuring the dots on half-tone negatives!
Oh! To be young(er) and fit again!

109ROAMING · 05-22-2009, 02:59 AM

So gotta get me a magnifyer

Think you need one in any scale -even 1/32

lesofprimus · 05-22-2009, 05:03 AM

Ur young Daniel, ur vision should be good... At the stage Im in, I should have already gotten reading glasses but Im being too stubborn to admit my inadequecies.... I refuse to accept that Im human and get old like all u other mortals...

Airframes · 05-22-2009, 06:12 AM

Hey, less of the old! I'm in premature maturity if you must know! Actually, I'm not 15 yet, got another 3 years to go until my next birthday!

Wayne Little · 05-22-2009, 07:40 AM

yeah..agree with Terry...less of that Old sh!t...

lesofprimus · 05-22-2009, 02:27 PM

43 aint young ya know....

109ROAMING · 05-23-2009, 01:44 AM

yeah but I only make 1/72 models mostly -those cockpits are pretty small ! a little scary

Can feel the strain sometimes

lesofprimus · 05-23-2009, 04:50 AM

Forget 1/72, even with magnifyers I still wouldnt be able to manage them....

Lucky13 · 05-23-2009, 05:26 AM

Fantastic work Brother! I'll try to do some work later on my two crates, if i'ts not too painful to sit leaning forward....f*cking sore ribs!

lesofprimus · 05-23-2009, 05:37 AM
