Global Scale Modeller

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.

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

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

Its Decaled

Paul thats a lovely little kit look forward to final pics

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

Woah, really like the paint and decals on the Eurofighter

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

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.

Im almost there 99% done just the pylons and brop tanks to decal up and a few small parts to add and paint

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

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

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.
