Fred... Great job!, I kinda like the B&W also. Hope to see you do another...

Doug

Little more from me...

Well I got the Dark earth color on, I guess I got ahead of myself again and had the putty removed before taking picturs. Sorry. But after using a time or two, I've become a big fan of silly putty masking. Easy on and easy off, and infinately reuseable.

Man, I am really liking this scheme on the Euro Fighter! OK, let this dry a day or so and we can begine the decals! Take care all!

Bish - you are quite welcome.

----------------------

Fred, a fine example of the night fighter version of the Hurricane.  Yes
I like the added figures, gives a sense of action on the ground.
----------------------

Checkmateking02 - thanks!

----------------------

Doug, I'm liking those colours on the Euro fighter - that silly putty certainly does look to do the job.
The dark earth does look kind of tan in shade, I trust you do have the correct paint, and just something digitally has happened to alter the appearance here.

regards,
Jack

Hey Jack... Yes, it does look more tan in the photo, my bench is lit by florescent lighting, and I don't have a filter on the camera lens, so Yes sir, likely a varity of things, lol...I usually try to correct colors on the photo editor of the flickr site, but they say its not running now for some reason... supposed to be replacing, but its been awhile now. Any way... Thanks for the comments and take care!

Steve: Fantastic job there on the Tornado. Love those special schemes! Great to see her looking perfect after the issues you had. 

Justin: Wow! Great job there. Esp love the 'spinning' props and the splash from the rolling bomb. 

Fred: Beautiful job with the dio! I too love those B&W photos. 

Doug: The camo looks perfect! I love the Silly Putty too, great stuff! 

 

BTW: Laid down the first primer coat and sanded out a few rough spots. I'm hoping the second coat will be passable. I've been looking around at different photo hosting sites but still haven't decided on one to go with. Will have photos up when I do..... Embarrassed

TJ- Great looking Harrier

Fred- Love the theme of your dio. The guys look busy doing their maintenance.

Doug- That is one sleek looking flying thingie! Nice camo work. I also love using Silly Putty for masking. Like you said, on an off really easy and great for doing soft edge lines.  

Still no paint on my Spitfire as of today. The wife decided to use my painting skills on the bathroom and bedroom walls so we have been been quite busy. I had forgotten what a PITA painting a bathroom can be with all the trim and many corners needing a good steady hand for a clean paint line.

Hopefully I will throw some paint on the Spitfire before the week ends.

Bish: From what I've seen PB was already going down the drain. This seems like the last cash grab before closeing the doors. Think I'm going with ImageShack but I'm still looking around...

PJ: I had to link this, I don't know what people were thinking back then- some serious drug abuse I think. This bathroom would give H.P. Lovecraft nightmares...

Great builds all-and a very diverse mix of subjects and eras-

sorry I haven't been contributing more frequently-i have been  viewing on a regular basis but failing to take the time to acknowledge the quality of your builds.

Bish-question-what are the rules for crossover builds?  If they are allowed, I'd like to stick with the Mustang but a Revell/Monogram version...If not no worries

thanks

Bob
