HobbyBoss 1/72 Seahawk Mk.100/101

Hell Chaps,

I haven't posted anything since April 2016, due to buying a new home, packing, moving in on may 7th, unpacking and settling in. My wife and I are still working on the house and I still have to build my new man-cave, which means there is no airbrushing for me until that is done. Well, after 6 months of not touching styrene, I was getting severe withdrawals and the only option I had was to brush paint at the dining table.

My first "Hairy Stick" adventure was in November, 2016, and since then, I have completed 6 builds using the "old-school" method. I've decided to paint 1/72 scale while using brushes because there is less surface area to cover compared to the 1/32 scale I prefer to build. This was my first adventure with the bristled wands that I completed in November, 2016- the HobbyBoss 1/72 Seahawk Mk.100/101. Not a bad little kit with decent tub details for this scale; I added seat belts made out of foil from the top of a wine bottle and the rest was OOB.

My aplogies for not having posted build updates for my latest 6 "Hairy Stick' adventures, but time has not been available in large lots to do so....

I do have to say though, although I never usually attempt 1/72 scale because they are a strain on my aging eyes, I have enjoyed using the "Bristled Wands!"

 

Thanks in advance for taking a look and commenting, much appreciated.

 

In the meantime, happy modeling!

 

Cheers,

Martin

I am doing well.  Thank you!  I've been posting a lot of builds.  Check out the current WIP.  It's a Trumpeter 1/32 P-38 Lightning.

Martin - Your brushing skills appear to equal your other talents, had you not said it was hand painted, I would have sworn you had fired up the VL. Beautifully done, thanks for the post and photos.

I have this one in my stash to build soon,  now I don't know if I will,  I don't think I can ever match your painting skills on this one.  Another beautiful job!  Bravo!
