Give the Gagster a break, he's given us enough building tips to last twenty years, Get the paint out, paint it then start another. I'm hooked.

Evenin All, You guy's crack me up, Thank you so much, to have such high praise from such a talented group of builders and that you take the time to comment on my thread, means alot to me. I might need that Migic at a later stage so keep it handy would you. Sooooooooooooooo, paint. I've said before, i don't like to paint much because it never turns out how i expect it to, but, so far i am very happy at how it's looking, I think i'm a little more confident than the last time i made a model, which was about 12 years ago. I am, in fact enjoying it so far.... ;D But enough of my waffle PIX First i had to finish up the tail section. Added some detail do-dads on the front of the main wings Finished, i think, building wise, apart from the cockpit interior and exterior. There are some assemblies to add but that's it for the main stuff. I removed the masking from the hitch assembly drivers and put them in position to see how they were lookin. The back section is going to be the same white mix as the wing backs, but first i lay down X-11 Crome silver, Vallejo Gun then XF-1 Flat Black Pre-shade, I did the same thing to all the little assemblies Added some burn marks with the Flat Black on the back wing panels Gave the hitch assembly drivers a very lite Black & then brown pastel wash. Future, hairspray and salt, then the White, silver light grey, buff mix. But thats next time Stay tuned Gaggster McPicasso

Morning Folks, Thanks everyone, appreciate you stopping by. Still weathering and painting the back detail assemblies. I removed the salt and further chipped the paint with a sharpened chop stick Then i applied several black and brown pastel washes on all the rear assemblies slowly building up the effect. These panels are still a bit lighter than the wing back sections, so i will finish them with my AK products when they are in position. I wanted to see how much the actuators would affect the overall colour balance of the back section so i did some assembly work. I also added the fuel delivery tube. I then attached all the wires for the actuators, these will be painted and weathered later. I decided to do some more assembly on the hitch mechanism. I put on the generator covers Put it in position to see how it looks Added the hitch ball and the support arms and most of the assembly for a quick dry fit I couldn't resist so i dry fit all of the wing back details to see how we were looking I cannot tell you how pleased i am with the overall look of the back section. You have a picture in your head of how you want it to look but nothing compares to seeing it all painted and assembled. A quick video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BO5JNN4Oj4wYes, that is me giggling, it's the vodka again ;D No, i do not live in a public toilet that background noise is from my fish tank. I am very very happy with it. Next is final weathering with AK products and some dry brushing and maybe another wash or two. What do you think friends? Gag

Evenin all, Thanks for the kind words, here's the score this week.....PIX Heavy washes to all the actuators on the wing backs Did some post shading, flat black, its wet in this picture. More heavy pastel washes on the hitch and the undertray area. Also did the emergency cable assembly Then i had some toys arrive today Started to assemble the pilot Used an old buffing stick to make the padded seat Added some sides and a bit of back support Used a MotoGP bike frame to support the seat module Some details G-force anti grav generator added behind the seat Put everything on a SAP base Trailer box for the rear door, armour plates for the walls Rear cockpit area seat module Seat module with over head accessories rail and posible instrument tubs Dry fit in the cockpit dome Thanks for stopping by Gag

Hi everybody, Thanks guy's. I've been away from the bench for a couple of weeks due to illness so i haven't even been online that much either, but on Saturday i got a few hours in and last night i got another few hours at the bench, so whats been up, lets have a look...... Added some tubing and some under walkway lighting and a bit of beam work. Then i started working on the side pod (mud guard) instument panels. Aluminium foil for the insides Each side has a white LED inside Threaded all the fiber optics and the led cable through a hole i drilled in the bottom of the tub Covered the wires and FO with heat shrink and threaded it through to the back of the cockpit pod and then i glued on the side pods Next i added some smaller details on the top instrument panels Started the joysticks Gave the pilot arms and a coat of primer Fitted the overhead accessories rail This is the Heads Up Display screen Thats it so far, more soon Take care Gag

Evenin all, Thank you so much for your kind words chap, I realy appreciate you stopping by and commenting it means alot to me so, Thanks. Well, on with the cockpittery, thanks Dicky my new favourite word, eyewatering cockpittery sounds a very rude indeed, but it isn't, but if you think about it to much, then it does again . It was all about the details, wiring and displays. The main challenge was the HUD, i wasn't sure if my idea would work.....? Lets have a look. PIX Did a quick light test of the underwalkway lighting before gluing it in place. I had to open up two new holes either side of the walk way to accomodate the wires. In their original position the walkway wouldin't sit down correctly Tested the lights in the side pod instrument panels, i will fill the holes with various colours later, the fiber optics will be all flashing, i hope. Added side details behind the seating area on both sides Quick test fit Then i started on the heads up display projector unit. Added heatshrink as a light block Glued the screen in position on the accessories rail, i covered it in masking tape to protect its surface, it will eventually have a translucent decal applied later, this took me alot of time to get the positioning correct. The LED had to be the correct depth inside the square tube to 'project' a correct size square to fit the screen size. Fitted two smaller drop down displays/control boxes. HUD light test. Projector in position, it works perfectly. I'm so chuffed right now. ;D Another control box with floppy disc material behind the PE Ready for masking then on to..........primer. Test fit with Kiko, my pilot (my father-in-law calls me Kiko, don't ask me why cuz i don't know) Masked everything up and now, you guessed it, Primer, Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Primer Thats all so far, hopefully i will get some more up later in the weekend. Next is the corridor section of the cockpit. Take care Gag

Good god! It gets better with every update!!!
Question - can you prime LEDs? How's that work out? Prime it, and then cut to length revealing the tube inside?
