                        Ow, now my eyes really hurt. nice cockpit, tanky. and bad, bad thoughts. Argh! popups! my computer is rebelling!~!!. okay, there we go.

                        I tried to get that's amore unstuck from my head by playing call of duty. boy, was that a mistake. I joined this one server where they had sort of a tradtion that one guy from each team goes out into the fields which areelittered with dead cows and frolicks* among the cows. I just couldn't resist it, so i went out and frolicked, but i frolicked my way into a minefield and died.

                        *jumps up and down, spins around, and fires his rifle into the air.

                        God, i keep clicking on the internet hobbies link at the top of the screen and kicking myself. i keep looking at these awesome dragon kit's that i have no hope of ever getting.

                        Later: OOH i gots me a digital camera!!


                        Aren't my walls so interesting?

                        I feel your pain. My physics teacher is crazy. Not to be racist, but she's this little chinese woman who screeches stuff at us and always gets confused about things. So she is giving us one physics regents due everyday for the next 4 days or so, plus homework.

                        Heres a couple of pics of my progress in scratching a new cockpit for Fujimis 1/72 stuka


                        This shows a cockpit side wall before[top] detailing and after[bottom] detailing , you can see how much detail has been added to the wall.


                        This is a closer look at the detail. I used a range of different plastics to create the detail including streched sprue and copper wire.
                        So this is my progress to date and I hope to post more pics as I work on!

                        finally some progress pics!Big Smile [:D]

                        this is how I blacked out the back sides of windows. I stuck 'em on a long piece of tape to prevent overspray and then ABed it.

                        this is how I paint the lifesavers. first is the "rough draft" by going off of the intended painting space. always paint the highest surface first. I panifully figured that out by not painting the white straps first.
                        here's what it looks like on the model

                        this is how it looks on the finished lifesaver

                        and the backside decals

                        the grey paint is on, and the black waterling part is on too.
                        all of the decals are on except for the USA flag decal.
                        I purposely took a brush and brushed paint on some areas for the quick field applied rough look.
                        next comes the installation of the windows and the weathering.
                        BTW, the top and bottom aren't joined together yet

                        whew!Big Smile [:D]

                        Aftermarket parts are way out of my budget, especially for such small aircraft so I usually just scratch-build the detail that I want and I don't have to spend my precious money on PE or Resin parts.Big Smile [:D]

                        PS I've finished my intire cockpit now so I'll post a couple of pics before I start painting it.Big Smile [:D]
