Klaiber Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 The detail on the Daimler-Benz and MG-17s is really impressive! Quote
Britchot Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 I wish I paid more attention when my grandfather was trying to teach me to build models. I never got the weathering down and to me that's the most impressive part of modeling (probably because I don't understand it). That detailing is superb, perhaps when I finally get some of my other garage projects out of the way I can spend time on modeling once again. Quote
Krupinski Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Posted September 29, 2011 Britchot, weather is probably the easiest part of modelling. Think extreme dilution and painters oils. Quote
Krupinski Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Posted September 29, 2011 The detail on the Daimler-Benz and MG-17s is really impressive! I know right? I am so wanting these kits. Their FW-190 A-6 kit, by itself is extremely detailed with a whole engine included in the base kit. Quote

Now just to finish one of my many projects... shadowboxing my tool boxes will probably be doable. Quote
Stuka Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 Amazing! I´d like to have time to spend with it. Quote
jim Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 I started to get back into the hobby with winter coming on, I purchased Airfix's BF 109 and Spitfire in 1/24th scale. Have a diorama scheme in my head dipicting a morning during the Battle of Britian. Here's a couple of pictures of the beginning of a longggg process of detailing the 109's engine. http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii116/jimrired/001.jpg http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii116/jimrired/002.jpg The wiring is kind of nuts, I found the original shop manual on the BF but it's written in German and my schoolboy German is just a foggy rememberance of gutteral sounds. In 20 years I was surprised to see how much the supplies for this hobby has soared. Quote
