ME-410 WIP...all done

Man, i always wanted to do a 410, but after seeing this, and seeing the other one thats going on, I feel like my skills are way off par.

You shame me with your excellence. well done that man.

I'm remiss in not adding any d=sooner that THIS ROCKS!   Beautiful from the ground up.  Thanks for pioneering the gunsights for me...  ;D  Hope the fishing was/is good- and cheers!

Fermis ! looks very sweet !! nice Job !

where you going fishing ? where's "up north" ..?

I go to the Manistee river, on the west side of the state. Nice little town, beautiful river.

Thanks you all ever so much.

I'm quite honored to even be mentioned in the same paragraph as Chuk, that bar is set waaaaaay up there. I'm reaching for it, on my tippy toes, but I think I still got some growing to do before I reach that bar!!!

I'll be back shortly with another bird, I call "Sally".

 Thanks again

 P.S,  fishing wasn't so hot, boated 1 salmon, broke my rod, 1 walleye, but still a good time!!!

 Outstanding build Ferms.. I really like the over all build, attention to the details especially in the pit..!! Now I wanna build my Hornet!!

 Flaps up,

Rangers Lead The Way

Yeah i have to echo everyone elses sentiments, what an outstanding build....Well done

Doc Fermis I cant say it any better than what has been said by the guys above. I have learned a lot watching you perform the delicate plastic surgery that you do, and so willingly share with us.

BTW too bad you have taken off up north to go fishing, I do wish you luck and hope you have a BLAST. However I wus gonna invite you down for some BBQ Brisket Texas style with all the fixins.

Wow! Amazing work! A beautiful build, very well done indeed.

Man, that sure is something!

I have to admit, having 2 concurrent Me 410 builds on this forum, I thought one would be good, the other...possibly ordinary (having seen Chuk's work before)...and boy, was I wrong about THAT!  Both builds are superb.

Your work is very impressive - you show an extremely high standard of build quality...a standard that we can all aspire to.

Beautiful work...just beautiful.  She looks fantastic, man...thanks very much for taking so many pictures - it was a pleasure to watch this thread, and a pleasure viewing the finished results.

Thanks again!

Fermis ! looks very sweet !! nice Job !

where you going fishing ? where's "up north" ..?

WOW!

Another amazing build from fermis.

Have fun fishing.

Thanks again guys!!!!

I'm taking off here in about an hour, gonna have a real good time, even if we catch nothing.

I'll try to get some better pics when I get back SF, I can't do outside, it all ends up white, totally blown out, and I aint got no clue how to change setting on the cam.

Awesome work, Fermis!!

With you and Chuk building a 410, makes me want to get one to build.

I'm lost for words Doc. 

Have fun fishing.  The weather should be perfect!

WOW......

Good luck Salmon fishing fermis!

The Frasier River in southern BC. is having the largest Salmon run in 100 years!

The 410 is outstanding! Would like to see a few photographs in natural sun light. A few have a yellow tint to them, if you are heading out take a few when you return. Thanks.

Thank a million....again, gentlemen!!!!!

Looks like another one is all done(aside from the canopy, which will later be open, just set in place for now)

Pastel chalk for the exaust.....my awesome lighting makes one side look lighter and the other, darker than what the eye actually sees

I added antenna wire from stretched sprue, with a "spring" of coiled wire on the tail.

I dunno what happened here!!!!

Now....it's break time. Headed up north tomorrow for a long weekend of salmon fishing....WOOOOPEEEE!!!

Dude! Love how you did the mottling and how it turned! 

I gotta say, I've learned a good bit of simple but effective tips from watching your builds. I just wish I could get the desire back to start building again, but colder weather is coming, I should be back at the bench then. 

WOW...great finish...great WIP shots as well...

I sprayed her in RLM 74,75,76, lightening each color a bit with white. Standard splinter camo.

 I then cut paper masks for the mottling. I used poster-tac to keep the paper elevated, for nice, soft edges.

She's been glossed and decaled.

Stunning! taking the hobby to that of a art, can not wait for the finished pics, guess my 410's will just stay in the box after this.

I never want winter to come but you guys are putting thoughts of snowy nights and free time!
