caudleryan Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Beautiful!!! All I can say is just beautiful! The amount of work that you put into this model is just outstanding. You, sir are a true modeller. RYAN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scalephantomphixer Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Thank you Chuck for the new installment As usual I LOVE the comments you put on each photo. It is like reading a captivating comics book, where the entire story spreads over many volumes. At the end of no 1 you can't wait until no 2 is out. Would that be called addiction ?

CorsairMan Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Chuck, I like that putty lesson but how do you avoid the plastic melting issue when you are swabbing with lacquer thinner? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chukw Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 hehe- kittens. Thanks, guys! CorsairMan, you have to be a bit careful with that laquer thinner, yup! It just takes a little bit- I guess it neutralizes some active ingredient? It's all Dark Wizardry to me... I may well go to a contest in Fullerton, CA this Saturday and enter the Helldiver. What say ye? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeff briner Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Chuck, By all means take that beauty to the contest this weekend. If nothing else it will give everyone there a thrill to see it in the flesh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottD Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Chuck,I like that putty lesson but how do you avoid the plastic melting issue when you are swabbing with lacquer thinner? Two things there...either use denatured alcohol or use a hobby based Lacquer thinner from either Tamiya or Gunze...they don't have the bad stuff in them that will damage plastic. I use it to clean up Mr Surfacer 500 at times. I need to get some of that light curing putty from Tamiya though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chukw Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Hmmm- I'll have to get some of the milder stuff, too- thanks for the education! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doupnik Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I may well go to a contest in Fullerton, CA this Saturday and enter the Helldiver. What say ye? I am planning on going tomorrow and it would be awesome to see your Beast and say hi.. mason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chukw Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 I've let my IPMS membership lapse- will I need to be current to enter? I'll have to stop by the Military Shop to pick it up and venture out to Fullerton. I'd hate to miss the entry deadline due to red tape! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doupnik Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) I've let my IPMS membership lapse- will I need to be current to enter? I'll have to stop by the Military Shop to pick it up and venture out to Fullerton. I'd hate to miss the entry deadline due to red tape! I went over the OrangeCon rules, and it looks like you can enter as long as you pay the entry fee. I asked one of the guys who is more versed in this and will let you know if I am wrong. mason Update, you are good. Only Nats requires IPMS membership.

chukw Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Hey, Dan- Mason- it was great meeting you guys at the the show. That's one tough crowd- I count myself lucky to get any trophy at an Orange show.... :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's one tough crowd- I count myself lucky to get any trophy at an Orange show.... Chuck it was great to meet you. You were robbed, but in all honesty, that Hellcat did have one of the guns opened up. All kidding aside, your Helldiver was awesome to see in person. Incredible work. Look forward to more on your Me410. mason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
