Global Scale Modeller

Very cool. Gives me a bit more assured-ness that I could that as well. I have a few on the reject bench that could use that also.

Ya no worries. Kinda choked at the lost day, but I know I can make this look even better
It was ok for a space worn Shuttle, but this baby never left the atmosphere
Slapping on some Greenday and will clean it all off and rescribe

You will knock it out of the park mate, you always do

The oven clean did loosen the paint and then I used the cotton square to rub it away.
Anything hand painted came off easy and quick. I have had other paint just dissolve and you are right, be very careful with this so the oven cleaner doesn’t ruin the plastic. I didn’t leave it unattended.
Any sprayed primer areas stuck like a bugger and some took a bit of Mr Hobby thinner on a Q tip to help get rid of the last bits. Thankfully nothing needed any scraping so it left the plastic clean and smooth, then I re-scribed the panel lines.

After repainting the three major parts Ultimate white, I stuck the whole lot in a cabinet and turned my attention to the 747.
While Ca gluing the rear stabilizers into place, I knocked over the kicker bottle and spilt it all over my mat!
This is the third spill over of this particular bottle.
After a few adjectives involving F’s and S’s, I cleaned up, shut the lights off and closed the gd door.
Then I mixed a rum and coke
The painted Shuttle may get a few days to cure now that I am pissed off

Can you expand a little on the tinted windows for me please? Did you add a bit of Ultimate black into the Krystal Klear while it was still wet in the recess?

Exactly that, and I took the toothpick point to all the corners so it coloured it evenly and completely

Twokidsnosleep wrote: Sun Oct 22, 2017 5:06 pm Ok the Shuttle is glued on the back of the 747 and I think it is done.
The Aluminum BMF is a bit more ragged in spots than I would like, need to look into other metal finish paints.

I finished a bit ahead of schedule, which is great.
BUT I am losing interest and mojo in doing build #2 Shuttle Challanger on Launch Pad minutes before its destruction.
The Oxide rust paint I received for the main fuel tank is nothing close to what I wanted, so a lot of mixing paint time and dicking around with it....meh F it.
There are other non ISM projects calling my name so I may vanish for a while
gents for all the support, suggestions and silliness...you are a great bunch of guys

I did not notice that as well. Hmmm being an American I should have seen that the flag should be in the position of flight. I guess this is where two Canadians are looking at each other saying... "The maple leaf is fine either way in our country" haha!
