Current Projects?

Ross check out perry miniatures. They are doing 40mm napoleonics... Very tasty indeed and just the ticket for skirmish...

 

Oh and as for photos I do have some of the last game I put on. Will try and get them to you at some point!!!

 

Keep on meaning to check them out.

 

Yesturday I started a 1/48 Me-163. It is a Revell and is supposed to be really challenging. Lots of small parts. I'll have to see though.

 

Red - checked them out gonna get some once i get paid.

Timothy - keep us informed. Just build it at a good pace and you should be ok.

 

Current project - Check out my post on my 1:24 Mustang! Currently on hold due to lack of space to set up on though. It will be updated!

Actually, I'm about to paint the pilot and the cockpit detail. Should I use acrylics for this or enamels?

I might go with acrylics just so I can switch between paints much quicker and they take no time to dry. Because of the detail involved this might be a good plan. But I don't want this section to look different from the rest of the enamel painted plane...

Any tips?

 

SignalCorp - The easy answer is use what ever you are comfortable. Persoanlly i use artists oils but all paints have there advantages and disadvantages. It is all about how you use them. That is the best advice i can give.

 

I finally finnished the 1/48 Komet. Some of the small parts didn't fit properly so I had to improvise. It turned out well.

 

I have two new projects. One is for me and one is for a local museum. The one for me is a 1/48 Avenger. The one for the museum is a 1/32 Wildcat. It was donated and was not fit for display. So I brought it home and am airbrushing it and doing lots of detailing.

The museum is MAPS (Military Avaition Preservation Society).

Excellent stuff, Timothy - as a museum 'helper' myself, I wish you all the very best with your Widcat 'project' !

 

Thank You Martin. What museum are you a 'helper' with? Is there a web site?

 

It's the Mosquito Museum, but I'm afraid the website is nowhere near as good as yours ( in fact, it's pretty awful ! ) :

I'm working on a Panzer VI, King Tiger baby!


Pics will be up when it's done.

 

The museum sounds cool. I like Mosquitos. I've only saw the one at WPAFB.

 

The Mossie at Wright-Patterson is B.Mk35 no. RS709 which flew in both the '633 Squadron' and 'Mosquito Squadron' movies. It's now finished in USAAF PR MkXVI colours.

 

I didn't realize that it paticapated in those movies. Learn something new every day.

 

I am finnishing up the Avenger and starting a 1/48 P-38 Lightning. It is for another school project.

 

Timothyn sounds great. Keep it coming. This is my latest project:


A german para at cassino.

 

just finished my german medical units and gestapo and camera crew, finally finished all the Apaches and slowly working through the new Indian Mutiny stuff I bought... Also painted a couple of houses... Had a sort out and found I have about two hundred unpainted figures... Bugger

 

I haven't gotten on lately but I finnished my P-38. My teacher loved it of course and wanted to keep both teh P-38 and the Me-163.

I have not had much time to do other models lately but I am woking on a 1/35 halftrack. Hopefully with school comming to a close, I can get back in to the swing of things.
