That's Amore (Italian GB) Jan 1-June 30 2012

Ed, not sure if you painted the deck before the stripes went down, otherwise I'm not sure how your going to be able to mask off around the turret where the stripes start.

Looks good Jack.

Not much got done today sadly. 

Nice work on that armored beastie,jg.

I'm just gonna free-hand the turret base.That kind of painting isn't a problem.Years of painting GamesWorkShop miniatures was great practice for stuff like this.

Got some paint on the main deck.

...........First round.............................................Ciao Enrico

 Enrico - WOW! That is some beautiful airbrush work on your biplane. Can't wait to see the progress on that one!

TD4438 - I love the red & white ID stripes on your Roma, that will certainly add some colour to anyone's warship collection.

Great updates Jack an TD

Enrico nice painting on the fiat! withouth upper wing seems a geebee racer extended

no veltro updates again sorry

Great paint work Enrico! What color did you use for the yellow/sand?

Remind me to seriously reconsider scratchbuildibg flaps in the future.

Doogs, you have the sickness!

Well, it beats dealing with a hull breach in the daughter's diaper. I think.

Actually hasn't been so bad save for the outboard flaps. The bracing triangles inside the wing needed to be 7mm x 2mm, and marking and cutting to that level of precision is near impossible when the pencil lead is .5mm! The bigger triangles were a lot easier. On the flaps themselves, I went with a 3mm height, and I'm planning on snipping them down with some Xurons.

LOL !

Probably on 1/32 a further precision is needed i just cutted a plastic strip with the same width of the flap and cut litter rectangles that was cut in diagonal way and two structure at time was maded... but for measurement i used mostly my eyemeter, When glue dry i sanded with metal file to make them at same size

this one of reasons i build only 1/72 (space and money are the others )

I'm fighting to finish my zero for the jap GB ,then will going deep on the Veltro detailing, collected already good references for the planned mods.

Excellent camo Enrico!

Doogs, I applaud you for going the extra mile. Looks promising.

I wish I could do a/c camo and scratch-building like you guys.Just looking at it makes my head hurt.

Camo added to the turret bases.I continue to be amazed at how long it takes for even the simpler procedures to be completed.There's a few hours work in here somewhere.

TD - I'm just as envious of your shipbuilding, PE adventures and painting of candy cane stripes! I'd have made a right mess of those no doubt!

FINALLY ready to call the flaps and all the control surface craziness DONE!

Have the various scoops and some bits and bobs to go (and a lot of filling and sanding), but I'm actually closing in on paint. I think.

Doogs as pictures shows the crazy works about flaps returns a better looking bird and with more personal touch!! Great work

TD i'm jealous too with all these PE parts up on ships the front deck tooks good and feels like lots of pieces need to be glued again 

Thanks guys.This is by far the most effort I've ever put in to a build.I hope I don't screw it up.

..............Second round...............(.....very hard.....) Ciao Enrico.

..............Second round...............(.....very hard.....) Ciao Enrico.

Enrico - are you painting the camoflage freehand, or using a mask of some kind?? Again, beautiful work!

Great patience work Enrico !!

Waiting the zero to dry i worked a litte on the veltro

Builded the engine fixing bulkhead, too hard to find the exact size of the piece ,i needed to do it with three pieces

and reinforced on the back

also cutted out original too bad exhaust

more pieces added to the right cockpit wall

Dang Enrico, what fine AB skills you're displaying. Excellent.

Ed, just try not to get a head of yourself. take your time and you'll have a fantastic build when completed.

Doogs, very nice. Just keeps getting better.

Mine is the Tamiya Semovente with an RB barrel and Italeri tracks. I'm to the camo phase right now. Need to put my thinking cap on.

Is anybody else having problems uploading pics to Photobucket?

I'm currently experiencing some kind of glitch.

Until this is corrected,I can't update you guys on the Roma.

My throne for wip pictures!

TD right now uloaded my wasp updates on photobucket, try to update the your browser flashplayer plugin.

Unfortunately I'm a computer idiot,bsyamato.I have no idea what you are talking about.

I think it's a photobucket screw up.Threre is some script intermingled with the upload button.I can't click on it.

What's the browser you use? i'm using google  crhome withouth particular problems
