Martin's Messerschmitt Mayhem

Looking good!

Yeah, I didn't bother much with the stencils - they looked a proper nightmare!

[Martin R]

I have added all the decals I'm going to and, when dry, they got 3 quick brush coats of klear to seal them in. Next in order is a mucky brown wash.

I watch your work with pleasure! Finish getting closer. It will be a beautiful model.

Thank you, Przemek. I just wish I had a bit more time for modelling at the moment!

Very smart work, Martin.

Sorry Martin,

Forgot to ask. 'Greeblies', another technical term?

Steve

Oh, yes!

[MarkyM607]

Greeblies!, heard this in Star Wars dvd's. Stuff that is bits and bobs and is being used for something other than the intended purpose, usually small detail adding.

[Martin R]

A panel line wash has been applied, the supercharger air intake has been added and a scoosh of matt varnish has been dusted over. Just got to add canopy (having painted frame lines) and the small bits and she's done.

Unfortunately, my computer XD port has swallowed up my camera chip, so don't know when I'll next be able to post pics!

[Old_Tonto]

Sounds like you are making progress. Hope we gets some pics soon.

I thought 'R' stood for Radio show

[Martin R]

Well, slow progress continues to be made. Windscreen and rear cockpit parts are now glued in place (but not painted), exhausts and wheel well doors in place. Just got to do the cockpit frame lines and add the small pieces and it's done.

Still no pics, though. If necessary, I'll take a shot from my wife's mobile when it's done.

regards,

Martin

Keeping us in suspense here!

Hi folks,

Sorry for the lack of updates. Busy-ness at work and a non-functioning camera / computer combo is to blame.

I do think I finished, although I have no way to post a picture at the moment. I'm not particularly happy with the central portion of the transparency, though. A bit of fettling of the rear hed armour would be required to get it to sit better. I may do that tonight.

Thanks for letting me join in.

regards,

Martin

We'll call it done!
