Getting there with the GT40. I think it'll be a while before I do another car they just don't capture me like the planes do but it's aight. The rear engine compartment of the Fujimi kit sucks, it doesn't fit. I think the easiest thing to do is just to assemble the body and glue the rest in place to fit best as possible but we'll see
He cute
3rd for revell is ok sometimesalmost done with this bf 110 i cant wait to move on
anyone made the SCUD from trumpeter? got the chassis done years ago and restarted recently, working on the cab now.
>>11758867not yet, but its in the stash. baby bereg is pretty close tho. Make sure to test fit how the cab fits into the chassis, it's a pain in the ass since you cant see where the fit issues are. I had to trim those front hooks extensively.
>>11758659tiny boy :)
>>11758893yeah the bereg has the same chassis but only one cab instead of two. Thank you for the advice, I'll be sure to test fit it first. yours looks like it's coming along nicely btw
Grabbed a few AK acrylic markers at a show recently, they are quite good for bullshit like cockpits or pioneer tools and do well without priming. I wouldn't do a whole model in them but for kids or people not in a position to easily airbrush, not absolutely terrible under some weathering.Which begs the question, because its AK, what are they really for a fraction of the price.
>>11759616Probably permanent markers. I found that using a fresh Sharpie or Marks-A-Lot produces a good gloss black with some time and patience. Not clue about the other colors though.
>>11758522can someone recommend a book on aircraft and/or ship techniques?
To the anon from the last thread that recognized the chassis for the RA2 Tesla tank I hate how much everything fits together, the turret ring for the M42 is slightly bigger than the turret base for the Tesla coils A conversion to make it into the render-accurate version is dangerously easy
Wake up babe, new Mr. Surfacer.
>>11760050>plastic colored surfacer Why?
>>11760062Depends what you're trying to paint over it with, pink is good for annoying colours like yellow
