Nice work again Ray. Did you add the "leather" handles on the magazines?

Cheers

Stunning work Ray, you guys really amaze me, you must use a brish with only one brislte and a magnifying glass the size of the Hubble Telescope. Really is amazing what you guys acheive. well done.

This is looking like a winner already! Really first class work Ray!

Saw a program on the box last month some museum in the USA where they are restoring one of these. They where having all kinds of problems getting the correct colours and pattern for the camo- I said to the misses, they dont need a historian, they need a model maker thats nuts about the luftwaffe. He would have it sorted in no time!

I am so looking forwards to that camo going on!

As always your positive comments are appreciated and welcomed, its always nerve racking showing your work.Thanks guys.

The leather handles are painted on Steve, I use the superb Panzer Aces leather belt, with a touch of burnt umber touched over them. I do enjoy painting detail, one of the good things about been a auto sprayer, it learns you to have a steady hand. to bore you with a steady hand tip I was told about many years ago, is very simple dont hold your breath, as if you do your heart rate goes up and increases the vibrations through the body as your lungs try and breath, and I also have my Jazz playing, (at the moment Im into Gill Scott-Heron), I find music helps me model.

 

[stona]

Aaaah,the revolution will not be televised. Brilliant Scott-Heron.

Cheers

Brilliant song, but at the moment hooked on "me and the devil" or to quote him:

"No matter how far wrong you have gone,you can always turn around" I take it he is no modeller then..lol

 

[Guest]

I recorded all 360m albums myself and the wife had on cd, stuck them on my i-pod and leave it on shuffle in the garage. It could be anything from T-Rex to the Fratellis to Beethoven but what I can never understand is if the system is supposed to select 'randomly' why, oh why do I always end up with a Shaggy track!!!

By the way the interior is bringing tears to my eyes. The guns look superb.

 

[Guest]

Thank you Trey and Richard, the cockpit contains alot of detail and is very involving, I hope to get the cockpit done today. I have a Fratellis album Richard somewhere I think its the Costello Music album, may have to dig it out not heard it in awhile.

 

[Guest]

Beem able to get the gunners seats sorted today, I hope to get a bit more done tonight.

 

[Guest]

I just love the way you can bring out all that detail so realistically the magazines look so real as does the rest , the detail just pops out. Amazing..... not jealous at all...... :-(

 

[Guest]

lol...many thanks Graham.
