Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
I love all the marking masking that you're doing on this! What made you do the prop shaft out of metal? Where are you going with that? Thanks Carlos. Regarding the brass rod... Haseagwa's engine mounting design was not good. Needed to figure out how to get the engine centered with cowl and perpendi...

Re: EDUARD Distributor Leaflet February 2024
Cool stuff. But I think it was actually a Special Hobby repop.

Re: Cold snap and paint?
Yes, freezing temperatures can definitely ruin your paint. It can cause the pigment, carrier and solvent to separate. Depending on the type and how long this can be irreversible. So get them out of the frost ASAP!

Fuijmi E14Y Glenn
I finished the Glenn. Detail painting was done with Games Workshop paint. I also added an antenna wire with stretched spruce. To get a bit of difference between the metal and fabric cover part I gently polished with graphite powder. https://i.postimg.cc/1zzwNPsp/IMG-0281.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/xdF...

Re: Fujimi 1/72 E14Y Glenn
The new masks worked. I primed (again) with mr surfacer black. Toke two coats to cover the red. Then masked some more and sprayed aluminium (Lifecolor thinned with Future). I removed the masks and everything looks quite ok. The circles are reasonably well, one on the fuselage is a bit wonky but the ...

Re: ICM Polikarpov I-5 late
I have primed with Mr surfacer 1500 black and then painted aluminium wit Lifecolor, thinned with Future. It looks really bad halfway but usually comes out nice. https://i.postimg.cc/YCLqJ50t/IMG-0238.jpg Next up is probably assembly. I still have a jig (is that the right word?) that I made for my ea...

Re: FSM Forums
A yes, the Great FSM Exodus, I remember that. And the League of Extraordinary Modellers controversy (and walk out).
I haven't been on FSM for years, I don't miss it. They had some moderation mishaps that really did not go well with the forum members.

Re: AMT's 1/48 ES-3A Shadow
Very nice! What technique did you use for the patchy look? Black base or something else?
