Thanks for that. Yup, still here. Got a bit jaded with posting, I don't know why. I still visit now and then to keep up though. Building as usual, currently have 2 1/72nd LVG C.II (German WWI 2-seaters), a Copper State Caudron G.IV, and a 1/350 British K type sub from 1917 on the go, amongst other, less interesting things. Most recently finished a Polar Lights 1/1000 refit Ncc-1701, and an old AMT cutaway Enterprise, plus a bunch of Jet Provosts (new and old Airfix, and CMR). Here's a couple of shots from the last couple of months:Softscience wrote:Still with us, Paul?
Went through all 20 pages of your work. Very inspiring.
Hope you're still out there and building.
It helps that it's 1/8th scale (Hasegawa). The cylinders are brush painted with Model Master Metalizer stainless steel, washed with an acryllic ink, Nuln Oil (Citadel). The rest is various bits and pieces I don't remember because I made it in fits and starts over a 10 year period, but they're probably Humbrol Metalcote colours. The black bits are from a Halfords spray can. The pushrods are bits of ancient magazine binders with the rust sanded off and sealed with a coat of Johnsons Klear. The plugs have some electical wire strands stuck to them, and the front of the crankcase is rub n buff pewter ( I wanted it to look a bit scuffed, which is just as well because I probably couldn't have got a smooth finish anyway).Softscience wrote:Glad to see your work again!
That's a lovely looking Aero engine. What did you paint it with?
I'm about to paint the engine on my Nieuport-17, and want to get it looking right.

I lurked here for a while before joining and your thread was my gateway to all things UAMF.
Hope to see more of your amazing work again soon!
