Man I hate masking aircraft like this! I may breakdown and get the Eduard masking set.

Re: 1/48 B-25J Mitchell
I know the feeling. having the flu doesn't help either. It's been a fight to get anything done for me, but I'm tired of sitting around doing nothing while trying to recover so I've been forcing myself to do anything that feels like progress. In your case, take it easy and let it come when it may. We can wait. Your work is always worth waiting for.

Thanks! I want to work on something today but I'm so tired from work that it might not be the best of ideas.Duke Maddog wrote:I know the feeling. having the flu doesn't help either.

Dug this thread out of the basement. Unfortunately it looks like I have gotten any further than I was before. I did get the Eduard mask set and have been working on it tonight. I was watching Sherlock as I was masking.

Re: 1/48 B-25J Mitchell
Nice post, Mike. I rewatched "Scandal in Belgravia" a week ago before starting this current job and just... man, the part where he says, "I took your pulse..." I was just like... ohhhhhhhh boyyyy. I think I saw this thread a couple of months back when I was trying to see what was going on with aircraft builds, so good for you to put this back on the heat, possibly, maybe....
Make more models!

Re: 1/48 B-25J Mitchell
I will follow along with you! Good luck, Mike. You got this! I'll do pretty much the same as you when it's a high focus task; I'll wear headphones, listen to music or a film and set the best pace for the needs of the project and my own abilities.
Make more models!

Those masks looks tedious to apply. Sort of like the ones on the Ventura.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
