Paul's 1/144 14 day Xmas Sig

[Paul]

If we post all our updates in here together as a group then post a reveal in the appropriate section when complete

So the Mark 1 Wessex, its gone together not to bad, needed a lot of test fitting and trimming and sanding to get it to fit, it also need a lot of describing which id challenging at this scale, i hope it'll look ok with a wash in

Its ready for some aqua gloss now









Using Mr hobby RLM 04 as the closest match i had and faded the panels with lighter tone

Looking nice Paul, i decided upon dragons X29 as what was on offer in the shop was either bleh or things like b29s that i would struggle to get done in time, got to this stage in about 45 minutes however.

Got the paint done this morning, just letting the klear dry before i start on the decals which should be a smidge smaller than the tail fins on the 1 48 tomcat!

Here is my offering for the group build



Looking forward to put the fecals on as you can see there are lots



The tub has been painted up and added a little weathering




Going to have a few hours again tonight so more pictures to follow

Where i got to today, painted, decalled and cleared.

Mine started out simple... As many of my builds do.
Then I come to my senses and build something Ridiculous.

This was the original plan... A simple build of Revells crappy JU 52 in 1/144.



The kit is a bit thin on detail, but I wasn't looking for something that would be an eye burner. This scale is well outside my comfort zone, so I wanted something easy. This fit that bill.

The thing is pretty small, but not as small as some of the other builds that I've seen.





It went together with a lot of fix issues and a few big gaps. The plastic is really soft and the molds are very sloppy. It took a lot of clean up and fiddling just to get it to this point....







I primed and started painting it, but I ended up not being happy with the paint and had to start over with the white and camouflage.








I ended up repainting all of the camouflage as I brushed painted some of it and I'm terrible at brush painting air craft.



Now it's ready for gloss coating and decals. First... I came up with the dio idea.... I figured that I'd use some of the 1/144 pieces that I already have built.



Should be interesting.

almost done,Getting Ready for seal then decals.

[Jezz76]

Painted some of the leading edges of the wings and nose area maked it all up ready for the base colour which i made a mix of Tamiya copper and clear orange then shot some clear orange over the whole model to brighten it up. A quick clear coat and a oil wash to darken the panel lines a little and she is all ready for the fun bit next decaling

[AtomicAndy]

Some great work going on. Christmas going to do a bit too. Thanks for sharing the great builds.

[Paul]

Ive managed to make a start on the decals looking very nice so far pleased with how it looks

[Twokidsnosleep]

Woah, really like the paint and decals on the Eurofighter

[Paul]

Finished my Mark 1 1/144 Wessex Rescue helicopter, nice little kit a bit challenging though lol. I had to scratch build the winch and the antenna's. I think it came out ok in the though

[wookiee76]

Cracking job Paul, have to say I've enjoyed this build more than i expected, finished off the X29 grumman yesterday and here she is.

[Jezz76]

Fun Build, Great kits. Dragon EA 18G and F/A 18E Dual boxing.

[wookiee76]

Nice work guys, maybe there's something in these braille scalers, certainly a nice break from bigger kits.

[Les0012]

Superb work by you all,

If I had to choose it would be a very close call between the Tiger Typhoon and the pair of Hornets.
