Yeah baw 1:32 Saburo Shindo Zeke!

The vinyl gives the seat harness a proper scale thickness that decals alone do not. I really like that idea of vinyl there... much easier to work with for positioning than PE.

And they build up into a fairly nice-looking detail part, too. They need a little oil paint to tie them in with the rest of what I’ve got going on in the ‘pit but that’s easy. I quite like these. One Hangul I had about my previous Zeke was the seatbelt decal. Looked nice enough but like you said- the thickness and subsequent look of it just wasn’t correct. This is way closer to the mark.

Yeah, thickness is my big beef with decal seatbelt harnesses. I have been trying applying them to various types of paper to find a better look. One day I’ll find the right paper.

[KennyX]

Know what I bet would work? The material from the sacks they sell ground coffee in. It’s super thin, and the decal would surely stick to it.

[Stikpusher]

I think that I know what you’re talking about. I know that I’ve saved tea bag mesh for very fine netting purposes.

Fuselage is sealed up, and cockpit module work continues. It’s a pop-in-from-the-bottom type deal.



...I’m getting going on the IP this week.

What a beast! A beautiful well-fitted beast! Congratulations!

That's gonna be a big build, I'm not use to seeing 1/32

[KennyX]

Thank you, fellas! That was a good step toward getting my mojo back, on this one!

I had hoped to have the cockpit done last week, but I took that time to tighten a few minor things up. I got started with the oils today:



This was more about bringing details out than weathering. I’m hoping I hit the mark. I’m happy with how it’s coming along, all except for the harness. I’m still trying to make it look like it belongs in there.

to me? Consider the mark hit dead center....Nicely done. I don't post many responses because they are all the same...
