Thank you! its still not finished, im still tinkering with the details... im repainting the soldiers, the first job was a bit sloppy and im getting better at painting tiny things :P Ill update with photos soon!

Thanks for the tip! I think i messed up and put on a matt coat on instead of gloss :S so the decal on the bottom side were applied to a matt coat, while the top were applied onto a gloss coat and sealed with matt coat... they look better, but still not perfect! So ill have to remember: first...

Dont do it MAN! Dont destroy them! better to donate them to someone who will cherish them like you did!

so what your saying is that i should have sprayed on gloss coat first, then applied decals and then mat coat... ill have to remember that! Thanks!

My thought exactly! I love building them but i have little or no idea what to do with them afterwards :P

Thanks! Here is a weird reaction between the decal and the matt lacquer, i would like to fix this someday - but ive no idea how! suggestions?

Just working on some details, there is still alot to be done and touched up... my models are never finished :S Uploaded with ImageShack.us ive decided to have one wing open and the engine cover raised as well. still not sure how ill do that, but this is how it is atm.

Man, i wish i was a rich man:) but im gonna need a compressor anyway! im not happy with the results comin from this airbrush, it feels like there is not enough pressure... :( so im in the market for a cheap and quiet solution, if you guys know any internet stores that deliver to EU, im open to...

Hey guys, ive been pretty busy with this kit, and its coming together, sort of. This kit is one of the most difficult aeroplane kits ive ever done. Just getting it to fit together without huge gaps is proving to be quite a challenge. On the bright side, i found my airbrush! I got this for...

the airbrush, well i wouldnt even call it that... but the hose and regulator are nice :) Going airbrush hunting today!

So here is the latest update! I built the cockpit components and the pilot and painted them. I dont have the exact colours, so its a bit of a custom build. Next i pre-shaded the panel lines on the fuselage. I used vallejo pigments mixed with water and a bit of soap. Dont know if this will...

Im figuring out a way to get the cheapest possible airbrush set, so ill let you know when i do :) You can get things done pretty well with a brush, but you just cant beat spraying the paint on. Cans and airbrush for large surfaces simply RULE! period. One other thing that rules is Vallejo, for...

Thanks guys! im glad you like :) when i was a kid i did everything with brushes, so there is some practice in this, but i really want to get an airbrush! the other thing is that now that im coming close to 30 my hands arent as steady as they used to be :P but at least i have more patience now :)

I have to say that the parts didnt come together nicely, i had to sand more than i would have liked to, im even considering some filler. The paint dried quickly as its very hot, so i went ahead with the detailing. The decal sheet did not include decals for the engine cam covers, so i printed...

I think it will look great if its a bit crowded, as that really does seem to make things more interesting and engage the viewer better than scenes with lots of empty space. This is a big issue with model rail-roads too, think of the track going through the desert. Its pretty much empty space...

Hey guys! Ive put my diorama aside for now and started a brand new project. I found this beauty in a supermarket, needless to say, the scale modelling scene in my country is pretty small and the few specialized dealers are struggling... thank god for the internet :) I got this SpitFire off the...

Hehe, thanks :) i guess i should have done some more research, dont know what aluminium oxide looks like, lets just say that that is not really rust but the blood of the crew that spattered on impact :P Learnin something new every day :) Cheers!

Thank you ;D

2 more pics here, i buried the wing a bit, im thinking of digin it in more and maybe breaking up the tail! Suggestions? Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Ive made some pretty big changes to make it look like a crash thats happend like a year ago and has been discovered by a us army group with a jeep :) the jeep isnt finished, come to think of it nothing is really finished, but here is what i got so far! Ill try to get that wing dug in next...
