necron99 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 build for fun,..... maybe for my restart with modelling.... Hi. WoW, Stunning work !!! I see you are using the CMK resin set's (right ?) If so please let me (us) know how well the detail and fit is please. I have the same kit with a Cutting Edge cockpit set, but was always wondering about the CMK detail set.

Youngtiger1 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Very nice. I just saw over on Z5 that there is a new decal sheet is out on this jet. A lot of cool markings. I like the open panels you are showing...super. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChippyWho Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Another killer F4D-1 build! The CMK items are superb in fit and quality, but it is great to see them augmented with your own work. Following with interest! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Archy Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Wow, realy nice work on this plane Honza! Rivets look cool! Can't wait to see the weathering! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chuck540z3 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Hey Honza, you are the rivet and panel line guru! How long does it take you to do all that perfect and meticulous work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 This isn't a knock on Honza's work, but why are all the rivets okay on this build but not by a manufacturer? If Trumpeter or Hobby Boss had released a kit with all those rivets (and they have), they would have been burned at the stake (and they have). Just wondering out loud.

If Trumpeter or Hobby Boss had released a kit with all those rivets (and they have), they would have been burned at the stake (and they have). Just wondering out loud. If I may, a couple of observations I have made concerning Honza's past work: 1) He's not done yet. When he is and you still think that there's too many rivets, then you may have a point. After his usual weathering and delicate painting, the rivets usually blend in and almost disappear. Further coats of paint, Future and dull coat will do that. 2) His rivets are about 1/2 the size of Trumpeter rivets. Let's see where this build ends up. OK, Honza, the pressure is on! :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honza K. Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Thanks for comments guys! This isn't a knock on Honza's work, but why are all the rivets okay on this build but not by a manufacturer? If Trumpeter or Hobby Boss had released a kit with all those rivets (and they have), they would have been burned at the stake (and they have). Just wondering out loud. Darren, I do the same rivets (with same tool) last two years and finaly I am very satisfied with them. (no problems with wash, like on "trumpeters and HB" rivets, which are bigger but shallow. Please wait with final result, when be skyray done. Chuck, thank you :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackMan Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I agree with chuck. Trumpeter's look like potholes. Honza's are just nice. Some modelers over-do the rivets but...judging from his past models...Honza pulls it off beautifully. I like the fact that he takes artistic license and creates the rivets. Even if the manufacturer doesn't put them there, Honza makes it look like they belong there. :D And it's always a treat to see modelers adding in extra stuff ( be it extra rivets, modifying, rescribing, or scratchbuilding). It shows the potential for a standard model to become a head-turner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janissary Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 So glad you're back Honza. Your builds are very enjoyable to watch. I am going through a major modeler's block right now, and builds like yours ease the pain. Very excited to see what's next with this one. Post many pictures please :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honza K. Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Thanks! And for accuracy, rivets are not devised, they are made ​​by drawing. On some photos you can see them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honza K. Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Some little shading and maybe better photos then yesterday... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
