    1/1 paintwork

    I did suggest that Tony, or a matt carbon wrap to hide it a bit 😂 Or 6 sunroofs 🙃 It's a Jap import. I do lots of them, usually when they've been damaged in the containers. Apparently they can have hail like golf balls over there.

    1/1 paintwork

    Thanks everyone. I do enjoy the bike & more challenging stuff, but after all this time a lot of jobs are a bit boring. Tony, if you fancy reliving your youth a have a hail damaged one that needs a few dents filling 😂 I counted 62 on the bonnet. God knows how many there are on the roof, I lost...

    Andy's 1/48 Spitfire Mk1a

    Thanks Joe, decals next. It took some hunting around to find aftermarket sets for the smaller two, but I wanted them to match the markings & squadron code of the 1/48

    Tamiya 1/72 Junkers Ju87G-2 Stuka

    I missed this completely so I've just been back through the build thread too. Very nicely done, those cannons are huge!

    Other bikes I'm in the middle of are an old RD250 Reference picture The parts have been stripped and epoxy primed And also a CB 750 The guy has done various bits himself over the past 15 years (lol) and presented them like this

    1/1 paintwork

    Not exactly a hobby but I thought some might find interest in a few of the projects I get up to in the day job. If there are any objections, please let me know and I'll happily pull the thread. Whilst a lot of my bread & butter work is pretty boring I do get the chance to work on some...

    By the way, some blurb on the charity event can be found here: https://sheffieldchildrens.org/news/prideofyorkshirelaunch/

    '72 &' 48 now have their Dark Green. The patterns don't match exactly, but then I've never been a stickler details like that. Close enough for me 🙂

    I'll try to 👍

    Lilac Lion Cub

    They didn't have a close enough match... 😂 Thanks guys. He's picking it up tomorrow, and hopefully not dropping it! 😬

    Lilac Lion Cub

    Thanks everyone, I always like to give back when I can. After filling and sanding the imperfections (most of them anyway) I gave it another round of finer primer, tinted towards the final colour with a bit of blue & red Then it was on with the colour. RAL 4005 Blue Lilac, which is the...

    Steven’s 1/48 Spitfire Mk.IIa

    I like the idea of having it wheels up, will watch how you get along in case I build another. Although I probably won't 😂 The fit & engineering of the Tamiya is far superior, even if it lacks a bit of Eduard's detail out of the box.

    Andy's 1/48 Spitfire Mk1a

    Yeah @Tim Marlow , when I say matt, I should say matt-er. I've done a few using SMS Matt, but with a bit of MLT added so it doesn't dry dead flat & lifeless. And yes. I waz fairly successful last time I stripped Eduard decals but I seem to remember I didn't bother with the tiny ones as it was...

    Andy's 1/48 Spitfire Mk1a

    Thanks Tim. As always it looks a bit strange with a gloss coat but hopefully the matt after decals should tie it all together.

    Andy's 1/48 Spitfire Mk1a

    Thanks guys. I did need my decent specs 🤓 The lines could have been tighter but at this scale I was just happy to get something resembling the correct pattern lol I sprayed it with my 0.3 trigger 'brush, that gets used for just about everything and has a bent needle 😂...

    Tamiya calsonic skyline

    Another great result. At what point will storing them all become a problem?

    Andy's 1/48 Spitfire Mk1a

    All three have had their Dark Sea Grey And the tiddler has had the green added. I tried a few ways of masking up the camo pattern but nothing was satisfactory (or easy!) at this scale, so I just freehanded it. After a bit of post shading by adding some Sky to the Dark Green I gave it a...

    Gary's Academy 1/48 scale Wildcat F4F-F

    I agree with Steve, that's excellent for a brushed finish. The AK gen3 are my brush paints of choice. As you say, they can be a bit susceptible to damage, especially if applied thinned down, but they do firm up after a day or so.

    Andy's 1/48 Spitfire Mk1a

    Undersides are now masked up. I bought this Infini cutting board a while ago and find it extremely handy. I just use the regular sizes of Tamiya tape but can cut accurate strips down to 0.4mm wide.

    Great job on the DPM! I know you say it's darker then you'd hoped for but they are all consistent, which must have been tricky.
