Neo Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 yeah yeah i know but training a puppy took away 95% of my modeling time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 yeah yeah i know but training a puppy took away 95% of my modeling time Only if you're training that puppy to hold the light for you while you take photos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neo Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Only if you're training that puppy to hold the light for you while you take photos. true but that would be too easy and since i like good chalenges im training him to take the photos Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neo Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 OK Pixel(my dog) finally got the trick with the camera here is the result the top seam is quite nice but the bottom is going to require lots of work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blunce Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 He'll be shootin' wedding before ya know it! Yikes! on that bottom seam. Plastic warped? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neo Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Alright got some work done the plastic on this kit is not cooperating very well its leaving nasty seams that will require some work. And my friend Murphy (creator of the law) decided to get me going on some seam filling on a RAISED detail kit so there goes all the rivets... Ive installed the landing gear doo with some testor window maker so that onece the paint job is done ill just pull on them and apply them to the landing gear. Also i applied a coat of primer so i can work on those seems Top seem is nasty In comparison with a Hasegawa FW190F-8 the seams are non existent on this one.. So the problem is-int me More to come Cheers Neo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neo Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 After lots of work on this thing i think im going to put it back in its box. All the sanding required to fix those seams has removed to much details. So this will become my rescribing and rivetting test dummy. ive been eyeing my stash and will start a new tread with the selected project choices 1/48 P-47 1/48 P-38 1/32 P-51D Cheers Neo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
