martin_sam_2000 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Looks great!! Nice clean build and I love the subtle weathering you have used. Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 It's fabulous :D/> and only in 5 months! LOL my building times are a wee bit stretched of lately :D/> Janne, Why thank you sir for your "fabulous" comment, it's the 1st fabulous I've ever gotten. And Yeah I just flew through the build in 5 months time. :whistle:/> The warmer weather does tend to slow down my building, and I'm sure the same goes for your time at the bench. My interest in both race cars from eras long ago, and photography are also a factor in less time at the bench, but that time should hopefully be more productive as I tend to procrastinate if I have too much time on my hands.

eraucubsfan Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Hi Joel- I really like the way your B-25 turned out. You're a talented modeler. I love your base idea. Falcon definitely sets the bar high with his bases. What I use are frames from Michael's or Hobby Lobby as a starting point. I did a similar idea to what you want to do for a P-40 using a blood chit. Also I've used it for a carrier base using Verlinden WWII Carrier base. On this one I took out the glass though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just not sure I deserve those accolades about being a talented modeler. I've always considered myself just average at best. Got lucky a few times at IPMS contests back in the 70s, but that's about it. I do really like your idea about using a frame for a base. Will have to give that some thought as well. BTW, those are some really outstanding builds on those bases. Like I always said, you just can't have enough props in ones collection. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 Nice work, Joel! You got me to pull out my kit and take a look- cheers! chuk Chuk, Why thank you sir. It's much appreciated. Now that would be a feather in my modeling cap, if my build got you to build one. I can only imagine the magic you would create with your modeling skills. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
