OOPS. shouldn't do this sans coffee

Hi Waynec,

You have me down for the wrong plane.  I just picked mine out yesterday morning.  Please pencil me in for Academy's SB2C-4 Helldiver.

Progress pics up soon.

here is how I do it.

I click on the pic, it then gives the little "arrow" share icon on the R/H bottom of the pic.

Click on this and it then gives me the IMG code highlited in a blue bar, I right click on this , copy and then go paste.

Sofar it works well for me.....took a while to figure it out though LOL

How to make Flickr images work

bstarr3 said 10 days ago

I read on Toshi's Corsair thread that you were offering to give him instructions to upload Flickr images so they will embed in posts.  I'm trying to figure this very thing out myself.  Would you mind forwarding the directions to me?  Thanks

I'd be happy to.  A qualifier though... I have been unable to make this work on my iPhone.  I am using a PC.  I haven't tried on an an Android system yet, but I might try rthat this weekend.

Click on the picture in Flikr that you want to imbed.

Just under the picture is a curved arrow.

Click on the "BB Code" and set5 the size to medium 640x512 is what I use.  Highlight and right click to copy the entire line of code.

Now go to your post on Finescale, put the cursor where you want the picture in the body of your message, right click, and select paste. Your picture will apperar in a few seconds or when you save and post your message.

Good luck.

Dave

Wayne, pencile this little model in please. It is a MPM 1/72 P-35 "upgrade kit"

I still need to figure out how I will be able to pose the one piece canopy open to actually show off the nice PE and resin cockpit.

Sounds like fun.  Please add me to the group.  I still need to figure out what to build.

After a month of my life in total upheaval, I finally found some time to 'play' on the workbench. Let me show you the latest from Maddog Manufacturing. It is a very small update, so...

 I completed the interior part of the landing craft here:



And then test-fit it inside to see how it fit. Surprisingly, this fit fine:



Meanwhile, I tried to get the forward door to fit on that but found out I had glued something wrong on it so I had to repair that. Maybe next time I'll be able to get it to fit right.


Well that completes my small update. I'll be going back to work so I might not have much time to work on my models again for awhile, but at least I was able to get this much done. I'm thrilled.

Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome.

68GT - I like how you tackle two models at once! It's interesting to see you working on that LCM3. I also have this one, I planned to build a Vietnam-era tango boat out of it, but it would require a stretch to LCM6 first. Sorry to hear the fit is not so good - Dragon models have that problem pretty often. Their P-38 Lightning is a prime example. Good luck with your builds and have a nice day

Some more Tigercat progress with gaps in the wing roots being filled and a fresh coat of blue.

More progress this weekend on the Tigercat.  Going to uise the Eaglestrike decals for a Skyraider since the lit ones are very yellowed.

Wayne, I also got started on my kit too.

This is Dragon's LCM-3 that I started:



I started with the pilot house. For the life of me I could not get that assembly to line up. This was the best looking job I had managed to do:



I then moved on to the front ramp, adding the hinge parts to the bottom:



Of course, that meant that I now had to finish adding the bars on top:



That is all ready for installation now. Man, I expected this model to fit better, but it has been a mass of ill-fitting parts and unclear positioning!

Moving on I added the top deck to the lower hull and that is as far as this got to date:

Hopefully I'll be able to get to this sometime soon again. My house is torn up while we upgraded our electrical system. Stay tuned, more to come.

Wayne, I got started on the Monogram F7F-3 today.  The 188 is going to wait a little longer.

got it.

Wayne I had thought I expressed an interest in joining this Group Build with a TBD model. I didn't see my name there on the list though. My bad if I forgot. I'd like to submit this model here for this Group Build; the 1/72 scale Dragon LCM-3:

Please add me to the list and I'll go ahead and post some progress pics once you do. Thanks!

I'd like to kick my Matchbox Ju-188 from the Multiprop GB over here if thats okay.  I also have a Monogram F7F lined up after it.

I like it Theuns. It looks better than the one I did.

Excellent work overall. I need to get started on mine; if only I could find the time!

Excellent job on the Val and Zero!

Here is is, not happy with the result but atleast its out of my way now ;-)

modelcrazy - like I wrote, that Zero is lookin' good! The weathering is also spot on. Looking at your model reminds me that I also plan to build a Zero some time - it's a classic and I don't have it on my list yet, so I have to fix that!

For now I have detailed the Italeri pioneer bridges for my Hanomag:

I added carrying handles and snap fittings that allowed to join the bridges side by side to allow wider vehicles to cross the obstacle. But the most difficult operation was to mahe a new bottom plate with the cut-outs instead of the solid thick plate Italeri (ESCI) gives you OOB. I have also put down the Italeri decals and some mud camouflage and weathering:

Now I have to waether the bridges accordingly and it's starting to look almost done! Thanks for looking and have a nice day

Paweł

The different weathering process I tried was a thick oil wash rather than my usually oil pin wash. I also used oils for the fuel and smoke stains.

modelcrazy - ain't that a shame whaen it happens? Luckily you have made a nice save here. That machine is lookin' good - I wonder what's your weathering here is going to be.

Theuns - lookin' good! I kinda thought this is going to be done in South African markings!

Good luck with your builds and have a nice day

Paweł

Nice looking Zero :-D

Surprizingly the Heller decals were in register this time :-)

I repainted with the JN grey. I think it looks better.
The decals are thick but were able to settle down. Now comes the washes. I'm going to try something diffrent on this one.

well it IS cute LOL. I'll bet you make it look mean though.

modelcrazy - lookin' good, I hope you can take care of those gaps with some thin putty, maybe even surfacer would be enough here?

Now I don't know if you didn't hurt the feelings of my Hanomag, it's trying to look mean and you say it's cute :D:D

I have put on a coat of shaded panzergrau and some tinted future on top of that:

Now I'll put the decals on and then I'll try to put on some mud camouflage. Thanks for lookin' and have a nice day

Paweł

Looking great Pawel. That thig is so cute!

I put the wings and tail on the Zeek. The gaps are larger than the Hasegawa kit but aren’t too bad.

Hello everybody!

Theuns - looks like it's going to be an interesting build! Do you have any shots of your cockpit here?

I have cranked up the tempo on my build and I have assembled most of the parts for painting. Wheelsm tracks and the assault bridge are still removable. The bridge parts (grey) are Italeri ex-ESCI. I have replaced the kit-supplied width indicators with wire - they look a lot better. Anybody knows what are those small rectangular objects just behind the air cleaners over the fenders? Anyhow, here are the photos:

And now it's time to put on some paint - thanks for lookin' and have a nice day

I had a little time this morning so masked the canopy .
