I have been lost in many things as of late. Not much time really to post, even to really go online for more than a few minutes every now and then. It is time to go back to basics. Time to bring out an old friend.
It seems that everytime I want to try something new I turn to this kit. i believe I have built this kit at least ten times in its different boxings.
My first attempt at scratchbuilding was with this kit.
My first attempt at resin aftermarket was with this kit.
My first attempt at photoetch was with this kit.
My first attempt at color modulation was with this kit.
My first attempt at real weathering was with this kit.
You get my point.
At the beginning of each of my builds I try to picture just what I want to accomplish with the build. What look am I going after. This one is no different. I want to try to portray a bird that has been forgotten. A bone yard find. Weathered, faded, just a relic.
The construction aspect will be simple. The only real modification will be the installation of the Legend resin cockpit set.
More of this journey to follow.
Joe
