1/144 Rebel Transport GR-75

[JohnSimmons]

Thanks! I rub them in pretty hard so they won't come off, I also give them a light coat of Matt varnish to seal them, don't put it on too heavy though as it will dissolve the pigment

 

[Tailor]

Aye!

Good vid John, thanks for sharing. I've always used cotton buds with my washes, never thought of using a brush :

I guess you don't know what you don't know... I will definitely give it a burl next time.

Cheers

Nice video, more please! They will get better as you get more comfortable with the camera.

Awesome work, sir! What a great subject and a cool kit!! Watching your video when work time is done...

Thanks mate. Yeah give it a try!

Thanks John, it's funny...it's more daunting for me too make a video than it is ripping into a £300 plus resin kit model lol!

Awesome work, sir! What a great subject and a cool kit!! Watching your video when work time is done...

Cheers mate, I hope you'll enjoy it!

Nice video, that ship is really shaping up!

 

[Cash]

nice painting

 

[Quaralane]

Definitely some good stuff in there, John

 

[JohnSimmons]

Thank you CD, Cash and Q! I've started assembly of the top, it comes in two sections and needed quite a bit of epoxy glue to get it right. A little filler will be needed but no surprise there. I'll get some pics up later

 

[JohnSimmons]

Pics!
All the notches were carefully filled sharp and smooth:

All engine exhausts have been blacked out with Vallejo Black primer:

Blue Led's drilled through:

;D

[nicholassagan]

Our first catch of the day!

To be honest Nick (ducks... I'm not mate, I'm never going to turn the lights on and I didn't leave enough room to diffuse them properly with baking paper.......saying that though I could cut up a plastic milk bottle and try that?

 

[nicholassagan]

ha! or drip a bunch of elmers glue into the nozzle

 

[Deere_driver]

Excellent work so far! Great video, as well; hope you have time to make another. I had no idea this kit was out there. Thanks for sharing.

I would, they need at least a little bit of diffusion....

 

[The Nylon Gag]

You realy need to make more vids Jonny, you are good at them

I think we should have a video blog contest as well, that might get entertaining ;D

Gag

I haven't installed the top nozzles lol, and Nick did your kit come with 8 top engines? Mine was doubled up for some reason? Confused me for a while (not that that's a difficult thing to do lol).

Excellent work so far! Great video, as well; hope you have time to make another. I had no idea this kit was out there. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks mate, I'll try and do another vid

Maybe I'll revisit them....if it makes you happy Grendels : lol

Thanks Gag I appreciate it mate, and yeah that would be a laugh!

Perhaps if you were to mix up some clear resin mixed with some white acrylic or laquer paints to make it slightly cloudy would help diffuse the light.
