eBaz Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Hello everybody. Not just a newbie to this forum but also a newbie to modelling (apart from the odd Ferrari when I was much younger). I've only ever built one plane before this one so I'm learning every step of the way. By using this forum as a school I have learnt much and still do every day. One of my favourite posts is by a member called Chuckw. It's not just the builds he does but also the comic / cartoon way he posts. As I'm not very good at writing lengthy descriptive chapters, and being a fan of graphic novels, Chuck gave me the idea of posting just short descriptions of whats going on in the photos themselves, I hope it works, lol. :wub: I am about 3/4 the way through the model at the moment but I have been saving all my photos so I could do this post, so a lot will be posted over the next day or two. Thanks again to all you guys on this forum for all your help, now lets get on with the build. The model is a Revell Westland Lysander Mk. II which someone got for me when they found out I was into modelling and i must say it's a cool looking plane, lets hope I can do it justice.... More to come very soon. Thanks for looking.

NielsDol Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 You're doing a nice job on such a old kit! And indeed, sometimes is better to handpaint the canopy instead of masking! Cheers Niels Flevo Aviation Hobby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eBaz Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Hi Niels, thanks for the comment. These last 4 photos take me up to where I'm at now with the build, so less Photoshop and more model room. :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eBaz Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Hope everyone had a great Xmas, I have a few days off over the holidays so more time in the model room. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eBaz Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 Hi Pirata, thanks for the comment. Loving this time off over Xmas, actually managed to start another model while I'm finishing off this one, back to work tomorrow though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rocat Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 what an iconic aircraft. nice build, I like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pommie Commie Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Great job on the Lysander........man those panel lines are deep n' wide (Matchbox trencher!) Can't believe you're new to the hobby! Good idea to practice skills on an older cheap kit.......the shake and bake kits are not so good for that Looks like Chuk's great idea of text in the photos is catching on!

eBaz Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated. Yep those panel lines are deeeep, if they were scaled up to 1:1 you could fit your head in them, lol, I've been looking around for a good quality set of scribes but all I can find (in the UK) are the cheap chinese eBay specials, my other problem is knowing when to stop! Thanks again, Baz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
