What are you using for bait? My bro-in-law and I use Buckala bait system. You never, ever lose a lure the way how we rig them. Let's just say the hook is located in the tail end and fishing line is strung out of the mouth. PM me if you're interested / curious and I'll send you a couple rigged rubber worms at no cost to you.

Hey Blacksheep! Your bait system sounds very interesting. We use a whole array of lures when we go to Barrett Lake. You usually can't get by with just one type of lure. It all depends on finding what they are willing to bite given the time of day, day of season, etc. That's why I really enjoy it... I love trying to figure out that part of the puzzle.
Stuff keeps getting in the way of continuing on with Black One. Most recently, I had to replace a few lost lures with some fresh paint jobs...
Hopefully, I'll have an update on Black One soon!

Re: 1/32 Hasegawa Fw190D-9 Black One
Thank you for the views and comments. It's been a few pages since I've last posted any meaningful work on the Dora. My enthusiasm for this project has not waned but I have been pulled in other directions as of late. The summer months have been quite busy for me with my oldest daughter leaving for college and the summer fishing season in full swing. September is the last month that Barrett Lake will be "officially" open for the year so coordinating those last one or two trips of the season will take precedence over modeling.
Painting Black One is officially on my door step as the next major task. I've not yet taken that step but have done things in preparation for that eventuality. After the metallic base coat on the canopy, I've sprayed it with the MiG Scratches effect and put on the RLM 82/83 shades.
I've also finished off the masking on the Dora. I used bits of foam packing cut to shape to mask off the wheel wells... first time using this method. I've also cut tape masks using the unused plastic flaps as templates to mask the flap openings.
I still need to perform some minor filling around the windscreen. After that... the painting begins. Black One, in terms of service life, was probably the longest serving Dora of the war. It was the first Dora delivered to a service unit and it survived to war's end until Hans Dortenmann personally detonated it with explosives rather than turn his dear mount over to the enemy. As a well-used machine, I want to perform some chipping on this bird but in the past, I've had trouble with the hairspray method when it is employed over multiple coats of paint. So I am mulling a change of order to the painting to help facilitate the chipping process. Perhaps doing the wings first so that I can chip the wing roots and then masking off the wings to paint the fuselage. That's the preliminary plan.

Nice lures! Can those be mounted underwing?
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!"..
Re: 1/32 Hasegawa Fw190D-9 Black One
That's looking superb!

LOL... I've gotten some strange requests for my painted lures from non-fishing friends. For keychains, jewelry, etc. But never for ordinance!LyleW wrote:Nice lures! Can those be mounted underwing?
A little bit of work on the canopy. After doing some light chipping to the greens using a damp paintbrush, I elected to show some fading wear using the salt method. One tricky thing about the salt method is the excess salt. Small remnants of salt can go white, especially after a flat coat is applied.
Since the white is under a flat coat, I am assuming that it cannot be removed so I must use the green colors to fix.
Inching onwward to painting, I've applied some white Milliput to the windscreen/fuselage join.

That is some very clever work on that canopy John - it's looks superb.
I'm quite intreaged by the salt method, it's some thing I'd like to have a go with at somepoint.

John, the sculpt work you did on the gun cowling is exquisite (visible in last shot). The slightest of bulges at the latch attachment points, the riveting and paneling details, all add considerably to the final effect. What is primed so far on the wings and fuselage? And what are you using as primer?
