1/48 Firefly Ic

[stansmith]

well with the m20 ruined, i thought i might as well try another, simpler build. so i have started work on a firefly Ic from tamiya.



should definatley be able to get this finished.

Now that's the spirit! Get 'er done mate! ;D

 

[java]

Piece of cake,you will do it.

 

[stansmith]

thanks guys .
i won't be doing many in progress pictures/updates because i need to focus all my time into this build

 

[JohnSimmons]

Yeah you'll do it! ;D

 

[spud]

you will knock that out in no time.... then there is the weathering.. gl stan,

 

[stansmith]

heres my firts update. got all the paint down now, i used the lifecolour olive drab shading set to paint it. i'll get a coat of tamiya clear on it now and start with the weathering tomorrow.

















not the best of photos, i'm still learning how to take them properly.
thanks for looking.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Yeah that looks wicked! Try out paint.net to edit your pics, google it. It really makes your models shine

 

[stansmith]

thanks, how do i use the editing on that website? all that was on their were some different paints.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Sorry that might have been misleading, paint.net is a program that can be downloaded free from places like www.download.com etc
You can fiddle with sharpness, contrast and brightness etc it's like a mini user friendly free version of photoshop.

 

[stansmith]

oh right, thanks, i'll have a look now.

 

[spud]

Awesome CM Stan, this cm is starting to grow on me.

 

[stansmith]

thanks spud ;D

 

[stansmith]

just to say, i've finished it ;D ;D ;D i'm uploading the pictures to photobucket now. i've got the day off school because of walking day so i have to go out, but when i get back i'll have the pictures up.

 

[stansmith]

heres the photos i promised.























thats all the photos then.
i'm very happy with how it all looks and i'm really glad i got it finished in timke ;D
i wanted to take some photos of the figures, but the camera wasn't able to get that close up to take them.

thanks alot
stan

Is that mist/fog/smoke ? The little wisps on the ground?
Very nice. Yeah, It would be kewl to see the crew up close
