Oh man!

And I was going to finish on time too! Oh well, it's good for everyone!



~ Jeff

Supposedly my new Harrier canopy is on the way in the mail so since there's an extension I might be able to squeak through here.


Best wishes


Ian

An extension?!? YIPPEE! Now I will get to finish up the Jagdpanther without (overly) rushing it.

Thanks Greg

Stephen (Minas-Ithil)

A progress pic, don't worry about the crooked lines...



... it will end up looking like these:





~ Jeff

Nice work by all.

Bu tyet again I won't be finishing in time

Ian - hope the part arrives because the plane is looking good

Stephen - Lets see some progress on the JP and get it across the finish line. It's a fun kit


Jeff - I saw the Rocket on sale at Squadron for $8 and almost grabbed one but my wife says no more models so I must obey (for now). I can see your close to done with the masterpiece! The camo looks good on the Sturmtiger



Another shot out to Gary for requesting a 2 week extension??

Initial coat of green.





~ Jeff

More progress:





Need to do some touching up and then add it to the gallery.



~ Jeff

way cool Jeff! ya better get some support on that thing if you knock it over the hole hobby room goes up in smoke!

Thanks Chris! After breaking my back from sitting still and my hand crapping out on me from holding that brush for so long... it better not fall over! Painting a rocket is FAR MORE difficult than a tank, even a 1/35th scale tank!


Did we get an extension? If so, I might do something with the Abschussplattform.



~ Jeff

Jeff, your V2 looks good. Yeah, adding something extra to the platform will bring it up another notch. When I did mine, I added a bit of detail to the platform, and added the refueling support rod/hose.

That looks good, a nice touch.

If we have time I'm going to roll out some cotton.



~ Jeff

Jeff-----Great looking V-2. I like the splinter scheme and very well done. Oh....and no smoking by the launch platform.


Best wishes,


Ian

Thanks guys, I'm okay with the way it came out. A lot faster painting it by hand than using tape.

But, if we have more time I went out and bought some cotton and some orange paint and was wondering if this idea will fly:



I have some brass (or maybe styrene would work better) to elevate the rocket from the table and conform the cotton to look like the propellant burning off.

Or maybe some yellow too? Any better ideas guys?



~ Jeff

Chris lol

Jeff great line painting. I've seen people do smoke with cotton different ways. I think just use the site google for smoke and you'll see something you like. Fire or flame maybe too. You could have it flying horizontally and have a pin I n the side sticking out from the wall?

hi Jeff, i say run some fiber optics threw the center of the cotton [red+orange+yellow]and see if it makes a glow effect, don't shoot me it's just what came to mind.
Hi Greg , can i post my church upgrades? i know i said it was done but i had to fuss over it some more.

Go for it Chris

Oh, there it is! We DO have an extension!

Now back to the V-2.



~ Jeff

hears the figure upgrade, i think it helped just wish i had a steadier hand.




















thanks for looking.

10x more cool. Great job Chris!!!!!!!!!!!! They all look great but I like how you got the wounded guy's look of pain. Had my ACL knee surgery friday so I can relate

Thanks Greg,the wife and son said it needed more people as well, you guys were right as it looks better to me as well and i can put this one in the case[yeah!]

here's what's happen'n now.





take it easy on the knee and i hope the surgery fixed you up,[i hear modeling is good recovery medicine]
chris

Chris. What are you making? I can't remember if I saw a photo of one of these before or not. I'm thinking there was one around the end of the war. Do u have a link to the pic?

hi Greg , I'm attempting to scratch a stug 4 using a old bandai stug 3 upper mated to the pz4 chassis. probably turn it into a frakentank but i'm having fun.
hows the knee?

it's not letting me send the homepage link but at least you have their name,you should be able to google it up, they have schematics of a lot of German armor.
i'm not to good on compy's sorry.

Hi Chris. I can see it now. Just the drivers box to add. I made one before with the iron division conversion. I didn't realize it was the late stug 3 superstructure and had the grey plastic in my head like it was tamiya B...pain meds have me loopy. The knee is moving pretty good so far I think. I did the other knee in 2008. Tomorrow ill try some couch modelling while elevated on ice. Congrats again on your dio!!

Chris, that's really a beautiful diorama. I think the figures look great.

Got back from Scotland and saw my AV-8B replacement canopy had arrived in the mail. Also applied the first coat of paint which is also my primer coat. Just a few problem areas to putty and sand.
