Ouch, sorry to hear that Jailcop- it sounds painful as  and the treatment sounds even more painful. Hope a swift recovery to you and Bsyamato- hope this isn't turning into a jinx thread...

sorry to hear about the finger

Jason

was using this new chopper thing she got off qvc to cut up some lettuce.  couldnt figure out how the guard worked so went without.  got the entire head of lettuce chopped, then went for one more pass and took basically the meaty pad of my index finger off, like where your finger print is.  was lucky enough to miss bone, nail or artery but was still bleeding so badly had to go to an urgent care, and they had to numb my finger and cauterize it to stop the bleeding.  lets just say they didnt use enough numbing lol hurt something awful and still does and now have to  work two sixteen hr shifts at the jail.  sorry for poor grammar or spelling, posting from the cell phone.

Bummer - sorry to hear about the accident - X-acto knife or something bigger?

JailCop

Well guys I'm sad to say that I went and cut the tip of my index finger off today, so my progress on the Zero is going to be slowed slightly.

Bsyamato & Len: Great work guys! Looking forward to the finished photos!

Jason: Sounds good, I forgot but what scale and company was the Myrt again?

 

 

 

Is it 1/144?

 

I was thinking he said 1/72nd but you're probably right Eric, I can't remember jack anymore.

The Suisei is painted, I need to clean up some overspray yet- if I don't get it done this weekend I'll post photos with the overspray.

Nice job on the emil

Hey There!

Got the paint and decals done on the Emily...solva-set wrinkiling them up as we speak ..lol. Took forever to mask off the leading edges for the orange-yellow. Just have to finish up the props, torpedos and fiddlies. Here`s a few pics....

TREYZX10R

Bsyamato thanks, the pin wash I use consist of artists oils thinned with lighter fluid . Using a fine brush I touch the panel line and the thinned paint runs into the line by capillary action. The oil base paint does'nt 'attack'  the enamel so you can wipe of the mistakes easily. I also use the oils for weathering and staining areas to simulate oil leaks.

Jason thanks

Decals are in place next will be a final wash and some weathering

 

 

Forget about it, thanx trey, but is basically the same process i used, only i use instead of oil color the same enamels with 80-90 % thinned... but the raised details are too little for this tecnique

then , i lost the original pitot tube () eated by the floor and replaced with some metal piece

after last retouch the ki-27 is finished !! this time don't want (and cannot) exagerate with eathering and avoid chippin to simulate an almost new plane. Just need to take decent pictures tomorrow under sunlight

the quarter dollar to give an idea of the plane real dimension 

I'm gonna do the Myrt first, I have 3 Nicks so I'm in no rush there

Jason

Lots of progress here !!!

Trey another great finished plane, some photoshop work can easily turn pictures in "looks like real in flyght plane"   and the Shidenkai looks like a  good kit. 

Carsnab like your way to low temperature cooking kits

Doc awesome finished zero

Gamera, the nate is really near to finish, just had three days of stop for a distress on left elbow, returned on workbench today. Some retouch on the nate and i'll post finished pics

Bsyamato: Sorry, left you out yesterday- really great work there, you're pretty close to finished.

MSgt: Ok, got you down, that's a great kit, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Trey: Got your Shiden Kai down.

Doc: Wow! She looks fantastic! Love the subtle weathering you've done there. And really sharp job on the base there too! If you should decide to build another I think I can I speak for everyone that we'd love to have you jump in!

Big-Z: She's looking good so far, just keep the photos coming- I'm expecting 229 photos from you before the GB is all over

Jason: Did you decide on the 'Nick' or the 'Myrt'? I don't remember which was leading in votes, I think they were fairly close weren't they?

Well got all the fiddly bits in...now onto painting.....slow..... but its going.....

Z

Doc that is a sweet build all around,love the weathering ! Happen to post up a wip thread we can drool over ?

Thanks Trey.

Love that base Doc. Really cool idea. Oh, not a bad Zero either.

 Here's my Swallow 1/32 A6M2-21, she took about 6 wks. to build.

  And I just  have to add heh,heh,,,,  BADGES! I don't need no stinking badges!

Eric its a Has kit

Trey, I think I missed which manufacturer this is.

Eric thanks, glad ya like it,love the Manny bit thats great lmfao!!!

John thanks really appreciate the kind words. Really looking forward to seeing the trucks along with the Birds its really gonna pop!

Cliff thanks ! and the photo choice I leave to you its your G'B after all

Mike thanks glad to hear you're going to tackle that fear of mottle scheme lol,looking forward to seeing it!

The Shidenkai dry fit looks really good

I'm not sure on a scheme yet ,what I'm finding is not a lot of variation from solid green upper and grey below. Hope to find something off the beaten path,still searching

Gamera - I think I'll start with the Shitei III Kai. 

Treyz inspired me to work the Nick later on since it has a similar mottle camo. (I'm not scared to do it now LOL)    Awesome job on it!!!

Mike

Len: Sorry, haven't fully woken up yet

Going back to reedit the post.

Looking forward to the Emily photos - she looks good from what I've seen so far.

Gamera

Len: Fantastic job!!! Of your photos is there one in particular you'd like posted on the front page? I'll go post your Shiden now (I think I got the name right)...

 

Len

Hey, great work everyone!!!

Kevin: Sorry, I'm constanty confusing the Shinden and Shiden. I thought I had it memorized and then get it backwards... Guess I should just go with 'George' (sigh)

MSgtMJ62: Sure, you're welcome to jump in, which aircraft did you want to start with?

JMart: You're welcome too, will put your Rufe down.

Doc: If your kit is almost finished I'm sorry but I'll have to rule you out., You're welcome to post your photos here if you'd like though. And if you have another kit you're welcome to jump in too.

Trey: Fantastic job!!! Of your photos is there one in particular you'd like posted on the front page? I'll go post your Shiden now (I think I got the name right)...

John: The trucks look really nice, they should look great build up.

AWESOME build Trey

I agree with everyone else , that the camouflage finish is perfect .

As for me , I'm a little slow getting the cockpits glued in place and the fuselage halves closed up on my 1/72 Zero and Ki-84 , however i have managed to paint the parts of both support vehicles ...

Toyota Starter Truck ;

Isuzu Fuel Truck :

Tomorrow , I'll start glueing the chassie in place along with the rest of the truck pieces and I'll mask the wheel hubs to airbrush the tyres flat black/rubber .

Everyones work is really top notch

                             John .

In my best Manny impersonation "I love your Tojo and want to shoot it down in flames with my Hellcat".

Very sharp, this might be your best of the lot so far. That camo is out-of-sight.

Some great work in here!

Can I still join?

I have couple Rufes (A6M2N type 2 float planes); this is the old Tamiya kit 61017  (1:48). I started them couple years ago for another GB. These are the kits:

Some partial assemblies, no painting: the floats

Some other sub-assemblies:

the bomb racks had to be fixed a bit:

The pit:

The cart:

I recon all of the above is less that 50% completion. Could I join in? cheers

Jason thanks really appreciate it!
