Blackcollar Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Hi Chuk That is a great looking engine. Could you point out the black you were talking about on the dark grey engine? It is so well done, I cannot see it!! Cheers!! -Al Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jester292 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Another delicious update, my man! Can't wait to see how the mottling is done. Of course, I can't wait for the next update period. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wing_Nut Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 The final photo of the engine on top of the paint jars is stunning!! And using droplets of water for tiny decals....brilliant! It seems so obvious once I saw how you did it yet I never would have considered doing it that way. To think of all the frustration I've put myself through chasing tiny decals around the bottom of the bowl...lol. Excellent update Chuk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Filak Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Lovely, excellent, Chukw your unique style is mind blowing!! I agree. Not only is there some really nice modeling going on in this thread, Chuk even goes the extra mile with all of the illustrations to keep everything interesting. He really puts a lot of work into this thread, and IMO, it's well worth it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Isaac Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Oh wow, my den is the exact same color! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chukw Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Thanks, gents! Geez, Isaac- what are the odds? :) Well, I've been cranking away for days, so here comes a flood- of tragedy- and triumph! Sometimes I think that none of the parts to this thing actually fit together, even though I know it a great kit. Once you start chopping, it all goes out the window as one tiny flaw can lead to another. Perseverance saves the day, and Fritzi shows you how.

Remington Box Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I have waited far too long to comment! This and the Helldiver are the models and tutorials that dreams are made of. There are very few WIPs that make me want to close the internet, break out a kit and start tearing into it with a vengeance. This is one of them! From the pictures to the cartoons to the color commentary, this is truly a thread for the history books! Awesome job Chuk! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eastern Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 It's always joy following your threads, Chuk! Very high craftsmanship and highly artistic presentation. Happy New Year and happy modeling in 2010! Cheers! Alexander. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eBaz Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Happy new year chuck, many thanks for the past 12 months of incredible posts, looking forward to another year of modelling. :huh: Baz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skyking Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 5th time's the charm Chuck. Great save, and great illustration on how you did it. Your plight with the fit perfectly illustrates my contention that scratchbuilding a model can often times be easier than building a poor fitting kit. I'm not saying my scratchbuilding skills are that great, but building from plans and making the masters fit almost gaurantees that the model itself will go together well. Happy New Year to you also Chuck. I hope to see lots more intstructional threads from you. Cheers Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marine4 ever Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I cannot say it enough.......whenever I get in a rut I turn to your thread. This is what gets me re-energized and ready to work at my bench again. Top notch stuff Chuk!!!!! Semper Fi Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
