Â Amazing work as always; surely those seats will put the aftermarket ones to shame. Â Thank you, Chuck, for sharing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chukw Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 Thanks, Dave - that's my goal- to promote and help people enjoy our wonderful obsession with gluing and painting! 😉  Gracias, Carlos- I appreciate the sentiment. As for the seats, here's a teaser. Hint: I've already had to revise them!

HOLMES Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Chuk, MY condolences for your friend's passing. As I said on LSP, Matt Rest in Peace from one Cop to another. And your work is IMPECCABLE. Loved the cockpit et al.   Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chukw Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 Many thanks, Holmes. Still missing my bud, but still moving on. In fact, here's a teaser for the next installment- I promise you will enjoy! Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chukw Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 There's a bit of a curse in having lots and lots of reference on a build. I keep finding new things about the Mohawk, and have been figuring out some of the more shadowy ends as well. In spite of my soon-to-be corrected cataracts and relapsing vision problems I've actually gotten some stuff done! Come along and see just what, won't you?               Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cruiz Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Excellent progress Chuck, those are very handsome seats; the detail on the inside of the windscreen will improve the overall look on that open canopy. I couldn't resist to re-read the build from the beginning. Â Good luck with your treatment; my father got his cataracts corrected years ago; he was surprised by how much his vision improved because the deterioration is so slow.

crackerjazz Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) We'll be here when you wake up! : ) Edit: Actually I read you'll be awake the whole time and there's generally no discomfort. But to think that you've been doing all these beautiful creations with poor vision -- wow!  Good luck on the procedure and looking forward to more pics : ) Edited November 4, 2021 by crackerjazz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chukw Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 Thanks, Steve.! The surgery was a complete success. I was cleared today with no additional lens prescription, no taping a goggle over my eye at night, and no exercise restrictions- yay! I haven't dome any modeling for the past week, but I have started a kit review for a companion to the Mohawk. Here's a work-in-progress sketch of the special guest host, my pal Andrew (Meeting Comics Neal's Namdroid! Namdroid is a fictional '60s TV show-within-a-gag-comic, Andrew's hilarious, mature-themed Meeting Comics. I'll be posting a brief photo review of a nice little resin kit real soon- cheers!  Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crackerjazz Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Oh there's a second surgery? Hope it goes well.  Cool little truck! How are the layer-lines on the 3D printed parts?   I'm observing your sketches -- with a hand like that you could actually use your talent working for those big comics companies drawing Captain America or Spiderman. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sharkmouth Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 So, this is where you're posting now! Excellent! Missing all the modeling inspiration you give! 😄  I have my own Charlie Still Don't Surf fever raging right now. New Cobras from ICM and today got more goodies for them.  Good thoughts and hopes for a speedy recovery from the surgery. Perfect eyesight would make an awesome Christmas gift!  Regards, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
