From Kenny X’s Shelf Of Doom

Floki,

You sure ain’t kidding bro! I mean, I knew they could blend in but holy smokes! They practically become invisible:



That’s amazing.

Alright! Last week’s painting has left me fatigued. So I switched gears, and did some work on the details in the G6’s cockpit walls. Small detail painting, and the addition of custom wiring which I think makes the place look real nice. Have a look:





I’ve been using stretched sprue for wiring. It’s just malleable enough and it takes paint real good!

Exquisite!

Go look for “find the copperhead”.it is scary...

[KennyX]

Thank you Bruce!

Lyle that was both enlightening and horrifying at the same time!

[LyleW]

That is so true. Pretty scary!

[KennyX]

Lyle, I mean bro. I like to walk/run out at the wild bird sanctuary adjacent to Lake Martin. Basic trail, about 4.5 miles round trip through the swamp. And while I have indeed seen snakes out there. They were obvious snakes- black racers and the like. And I know copperheads and their cousins the cottonmouths are out there, but I always thought “Gee how come I never see them!?” Heh. Because apparently we’re not supposed to HAHAHAAA! I’m still gonna run out there. I mean, I’m pretty sure they feel humans coming and escape long before we ever get to them most of the time, so at least there’s that. And shoot man, I knew they were good with their camo, but it never occurred to me to do a deep dive into HOW GOOD they are.

Stuff of my nightmares just there - once again I'm thankful we have no real snake issues in the UK...

Those sidewalls look great Kenny!

[KennyX]

Thanks Stuart!

Well fellas, I am beginning to think that the work in the cockpit of Bartels’ G6 might just be wrapped up. Have a look here:





I’m gonna sleep on it and if I’m still feeling good about this work I’ll shoot some flat clear at it tomorrow morning first thing. After that I’ll take a short break on this one and get cracking on:

1. Finishing my 1:72 Zero’s propeller

2. Starting work on my 1:72 Zero’s landing gear

3. **MOST IMPORTANTLY** designing / building the frisket masks for the mottling on Pips’ Emil

Thank you as always for looking! I hope you guys are having a great day out there today.

It looks excellent to me Kenny! Great weathering and the placard and extra wiring add a lot to busy the interior up.

Ken,

Flat coat and move on! Onward! You achieved a near-perfect balance between usage weathering and overall effect. No question about it. You conquered the cockpit.
