Global Scale Modeller

The interior and masking the clear all look spot on and all the components seem to be gelling together great.

This is really coming together nicely!

OK, git it all buttoned up and put the camo on. Now this is just there to show through the Desert Pink, so I wasnt worried about perfection. Just getting the colors down.

Once it has dried and I make a few fixes, that will go on and then the fun starts.

Hey that looking great!

Sweet paint job so far. Looking forward to seeing how you desertise the beast

Great stuff - looking forward to seeing how you tackle the faded top coat with the camo pattern showing through

Thank you gentlemen. I am still trying to decide if I will put the decals on Desert Pink before I do this stuff or after. I will be removing so much paint I am pretty sure it would jack the decals up.

Very nice! I can't wait to see it progress.

OK, pink on and removed. Not EXACTLY the same, but I think it came out really well. Now I need to add the staining and dirt and the like. And paint the bottom. LOL

That's capturing the mood exactly....very well done

Excellent stuff. Lovely color and removal too

Very nice!

Not sure I'm gonna finish in time. I have been sick and have had NO energy at all. Totally drained. It's an effort to walk the dogs. I have been doing little bits the last couple days, but not much.

Take care extra care in looking after yourself and take no chances. Small steps is the way exercise is good , but don't over do it.

That's looking awesome!
Look after yourself dude.

I hope you get feeling better soon!

Hope you're on the mend Sir. Stay safe

Sorry to hear you're under the weather mate

The paintwork looks great and it'll be waiting for you when you're ready to come back to it - health comes first so make sure you look after yourself as a priority

Thank you gentlemen for the kind words. I do not believe it has been Wuhan, but simply the flu. Which is perfectly capable of making your life miserable. I had it in my 20's and it was just like this. NO FUN.

Anyway, I have managed to do a good bit more. I am pretty much done with the weathering. I managed to knock the canopy out while unmasking it. Once a part has come loose, it will NEVER EVER fit as perfectly as it did the first time around. Argh. Just the rotors and antennae and the like. I need to figure out how I want to do the wire running between the antennae on the side.

I hope you're doing better. My wife was just sick for 3-1/2 weeks. It wasn't covid or the flu. They did say it was a virus though. I haven't picked it up somehow, which is a miracle after the pounding my immune system has had over the last 2 years.

The not a buffalo is looking great!

When ever doctors don't know the big fall back position is always ..."It must be a virus "
They never say I don't know.

Hope you're feeling better mate - even normal "flu" is nothing to be trifled with and can knock your system over.

And that's great work on stressing out the paintwork

Looks good with the decals on. Sorry to hear about the flu, hang tough Sir!

OK, so I managed to pull it out. Check the thread in the completed area.

Thank you all for following and supporting.
