grendel Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 it is running an audio track removal at present which is probably why its blocked, it should be available later (i really must remember to turn the radio off while recording) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome model making. I saw a model boat like this on Find it, Fix it, Flog it. Hopefully this isn't the one that was finished of by their team? Just kidding!

Upcycler Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 6 minutes ago, grendel said: well we do have nearly 100 pages here to prove it isn't So how many pages can we expect before it is finished? You do a marvellous job when it comes to model making and I doubt there would be few on here who could do a good a job as you. But this thread has gone along far too long and I assume like many would like to see the finished article. I have seen a whole housing estate finished before this model boat has, so please Grendel, lets see the finished article!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 well something called work keeps getting in the way, but i do try and get a little bit done every day, thus i get maybe half an hour or bin extreme cases an hour done each day (on the days i can get something done). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 So another 4 roof vents were printed along with the clear (ish) inserts, and then it was out with the chrome pens for finishing, as i cant get the pens all the way into the holes and some of the original green shows, i may well reprint these in black for the finished items 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 playing with one of my new action cams i was testing the photo capabilities. these action cam types are small enough to sit in the cockpit of the model 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZimbiIV Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Rustoleum do a very good silver paint pot £2.50 from homebase, after using this I gave up on pens. Plasticote also do a convicing brass spray paint. paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 I use the molotow liquid chrome pens which are very good, not cheap mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VetChugger Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Aye, but you could paint the inside of the holes with the rustoleum and still use your pens for the main body! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 reprinted the roof vents in black, chromed they look a lot better as the black just shows as shadow, today i also printed out some new interior lights. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
