Hell everyone, thank you for your comment. I take part in modelling competition and win the award each time in the early day. But I decide to stop participating and think that's no fair to other because I consider my self a pro modeler. I was a judge for the model competition and that suit me well since I had much of the model working experience, knowing both kit build and scratch build.However after a few season I stop doing that because the loser away think their work had not been judge fairly, at the other end the winner think they are above all, no more spirit of competition, no more respect for other.
I can understand how frustrated if your scratch build model was not judge fairly. It is not easy for some one to appreciate your hard work especially the judge never scratch build. I came across that.
Link for some of my picture:
Normally I don't take picture during the construction its just my routine, but I do take a few for reference.
My model which you see here are build from my own kit, using cast resin including the clear part. In fact I would said the clear part is the most challenging and difficult part to made.To made then you can do injection molding,vac form and casting,each has its pro and con and problem.For casting of clear resin. you need equipment and know how in order to cast then successfully. Once you able to do that,no aircraft you can not build especially for the helicopter has a lot of clear part.
Many modeler had ask me how to scratch build and It is quite difficult to explain the technical know how here. Perhaps to answer this is to write a complete manual on scratch building. But that will only happen when I stop building because I still discover new technique now and then.
