Splash's Shaun and Blitzer Blitz **Finished**

[splash]

I'm up a ready to go, breakfast is a simple toast and rabbit food mixture with a coffee in my favourite Airfix mug.

I have had a quick look at the Land Rover and the paint has set with only one run that will need sorting.

[Ian]

Far too healthy!

[ShaunW]

Yes, that is a disappointingly healthy looking breakfast you have there Splash and I see that no pigs were harmed in the making thereof. Remember - a chicken contributes to breakfast whereas a pig is committed

[Sissel]

Nice start Splash. I like you having grapes in the 'cereal' bowl or whatever it is.
Nice background for the clock! Bæææææ....

Guys and girls you got it wrong that was not a healthy breakfast it was a quick breakfast, hot food takes time that I don't have

It's a Blitz, food comes last, as you can see my bench is now looking like a scrap yard, time to lay down some black paint on the base.

Quick break whilst the black paints dries. I have miss judged the size of the kit it just took half a pot of Tamiya black to cover the interior/base/dashboard & seats.

As an experienced blitzer I thought I would pass on my experience of how to succeed with your blitz

• pick a small simple kit (I failed )
  pick a kit with a low part count
  Pick a simple colour
  Use acrylics as they dry quicker
  Use an airbrush it has quicker coverage and faster drying time than the hairy stick
  Plan you build before you start, identify the parts and order they fit,
  Think about painting the parts before removing the from the sprue.
  Have fun and remember to update your thread (a picture speaks a thousand words)

As you can see I failed on most of the above, but rules are made to be Brocken

[jssel]

Looks to be a good start. Those rules, or many of them, will be broken during my blitz also. Not sure about that breakfast but the mug is pretty nice.

[despondman]

This will be my first blitzbau and I will definitely be taking your advice.....except for the breakfast!

Here is me making a right pigs ear of it

There will now be a short intermission whilst I pop out to get some milk and bread for my lunch.

I don't know why I have a graving for a bacon sandwich

[jssel]

For those of us following: Don't doze, you will miss the show. Great progress.

[jssel]

Watch out for Harold.

[Ian]

Coming along nicely! Do the sheep have separate eyes? Or the holes the pupils?

[splash]

I think my lunch calls for an evil Whaaaaahahahahahaharr
