martin_sam_2000 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 So yeah...I actually started this build over 10 years ago and got in over my head...waited a few years, orked on it some more, tried some new techniques and got in over my head again. A year or two ago I started to work on it again and realised that because of the mediocre work I had done on it previously, it would take a lot of work to get it finished and it would never look right, so I decided to look past the mistakes, fudge some details and just get it finished!!! So here are a few pics of the interior(remember..this was back when I was in grade 10!!!): a few pictures of my first attempt at painting before i had my airbrush: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martin_sam_2000 Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 and finally...the progress over the past few months. It was this group build and all your amazing B-17's that got the juices flowing and I HAD to have mine finished as well Right now all I have to do is build the bomb bay doors structure, paint the lights and get the antennea's on. I know it is far from perfect, but it was either this, or just chuck it...it was too far gone to be saved into any show stopper. I will have some finished pictures soon adn i will link the thread to this one. Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bigasshammm Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Stick save and a beauty. Nothing wrong with that. The ugly duckling turns into a swan in the end after all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martin_sam_2000 Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Thanks for the comments Guys!!! Stick save and a beauty. Nothing wrong with that. The ugly duckling turns into a swan in the end after all! and yes 'hammm, That is how I feel too. Instead of having an ugly half built model sitting on my building desk, I have a decent looking finished model sitting beside my 1/48th Lanc MkII. Now I just have to find room for the other "G", the "F" and the lanc MkX and the lincoln(all 1/48) I have in the stash lol. I am currently working on the bomb doors, one is finished and one has been started...should have this finished in a week or so. Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Prop Duster Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Sean I agree you made a silk purse out of a sows ear. Looks great mumble aside, to self: of course he covered the windows to hide that interior, never figuring we'd notice :lol: he he Quote Link to post Share on other sites
