    Langy's, Academy 1/48 Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero.

    Is that as well as the monthy cheque ? And ....... Painted,...(and yes it was with a hairy stick on certain bits)... added an oil wash to dirty it up a tad...(although the Zero's used at Pearl Harbour were all relatively new so I'm thinking they would show much 'use and abuse'), As you can...

    And we're off...finally !! lolz Cockpit 99% built.. Nearly ready for a splash of paint...although there seems to be a complete black hole surrounding the actual cockpit colour...I'm probably going with Tamiya's cockpit green.. lightened up a tad....unless anybody else knows the correct / close...

    Right guys, The obligatory sprue shots, And upon close inspection the panel lines and detail looks perfect, no flash on any parts.. loads of delicate rivet lines that look perfect in register, the detail on some of the pieces are well done, weighted wheels, the assembly according to the...

    Langy's 'The Mekon', 1/16 scale figure by Mooncrest models.

    Well guys, Dad has carried out his 'final journey', and now the reality of 'normal life' begins to settle back into things..just one final thing to deal with 'the scattering of his ashes' in his home town of Scarborough... So I managed to have some down time and made more progress with this...

    Langy's 'The Mekon', 1/16 scale figure by Mooncrest models.

    Well, In between 'Legal stuff' today I had an attempt at shading the lilac, trust me it's more pronounced in 'real' life...(the inside of the sleeve shows it best) but it'll do for now. colour enhanced to pick out the details,

    Langy's 'The Mekon', 1/16 scale figure by Mooncrest models.

    Thanks for the nice words and thoughts guys, It's still 'raw' but practical arrangements are helping to 'settle' things in my head..(funny thing is though, I realised yesterday I hadn't eaten anything for three days...) Needed a bit of time yesterday to 'switch off' from things, so I thought...

    Cyprus Shackleton's

    The last time I was in Cyprus...way back in '96 we flew into RAF Akrotiri, It was awesome to spot an old F-4 Phantom sitting as a gate guard, Also whilst waiting for our helicopter transport on the airbase we were lucky to have a U-2 roll down the runway behind us whilst we were sitting on the...

    Purple to Lilac question

    Right guts, I wasn't able to grab some lilac coloured paint, so I figured that somehow I could start with purple and 'tone' it down, So what in your opinion would be the best way to 'desaturate' the Tamiya X-16 to a more pale lilac colour ? would it be as simple as adding white as I...

    Langy's 'The Mekon', 1/16 scale figure by Mooncrest models.

    And I figured why not throw some colour at him, Firstly a splash of RLM yellow to help with highlighting. And onto the Vallejo Chrome Green... worked better than I thought it would.. Managed to hide the tiny seam line I forgot to correct... finally a bit of work on his eyes...

    Langy's 'The Mekon', 1/16 scale figure by Mooncrest models.

    Had a play at creating the missing skin texture with some mr surfacer 500 I found in the shed..(god knows when or why i bought it, but it's still useable), but it looks ok...ish, gonna give it a gentle rub down with some 1500 grit to whip off the 'sharp' bits when it's dried..

    Langy's 'The Mekon', 1/16 scale figure by Mooncrest models.

    A bit more work done, he's now built as far as I can without painting, still a couple of seams to have a tickle at but nothing scary, spent a couple of hours this morning 'pinning' the parts so they won't have to rely on just 'glue' to hold everything...(thanks god for nails and an old coat...

    And we're off the blocks....
