ALF18 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Hey Neo... don't get discouraged, dude! This kind of stuff happens to the best people!! Take a deep breath, think about how happy your GF will be, and chip away at it one item at a time. Eventually it will turn out just like code that won't compile - bit by bit the error messages go away, it runs, and eventually performs beautifully. I have confidence in you; it will be OK. Have a beer on a terasse in Montreal - that should improve your spirits, especially in this humid heat we're living these last few days. ALF Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You have done a great job of making it look good again... I am sure once you have it all painted etc ... It will be just AWESOME.. Keep up the good work.

ALF18 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Neo You da man! Great recovery - I knew it would turn out OK. Your repair of the nose actually looks better than my original undamaged work on my 1:72 Canadian Forces Boeing 707. Glad to see it looks really nice now. Your GF will be happy with the result, and that's all that matters... right? ALF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neo Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 Time for an update thanks all for the encouragements i really appreciate it I still have to spray the clear coat but my entrance has bean tonally destroyed (Owner is redoing the stairs) when they are done i will take it outside and spay the clear Cheers Neo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neo Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 OK Since i tought a easy finish was too easy i cleaned of the nose and spayed A coat of the SAME clear as the rest of the plane on the SAME base coat as the rest here is the result :wacko: i just have a love hate relation with this plane So i decided to pull out the micro mesh and Save the paint job AGAIN here is the final result im calling this one done Thanks all for supporting me in this easy and uneventfull build ......

ALF18 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 i just have a love hate relation with this plane Thanks all for supporting me in this easy and uneventfull build ...... Cheers Neo Neo I'd hate to see a build where you had problems... I think if it were me, the model would have been 'flight tested' out a 10th storey window. I like the end result. It looks very clean and well finished, especially knowing how many times you had to rework the paint and other areas. Hope your GF likes it! ALF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
