SteveM's wall of fame :)

[Deleted]

I thought I'd post up some completed builds, I'm not as prolific as some but the collection is growing steadily.
I'll post up some old stuff first, just to give you an idea of what I've been up to



I'll start with an Me262B built last year. 1/48th Dragon kit. Finished with Revell aquacolor... never again on either







Then a 1/12 2 stroke Yam RD80LC.. my first real bike in both scale and life



More to follow but I need to upload to PB

That 262 looks AWESOME especially the paint job. Now you have made me curious why you will not use Revell aquacolor again? I haven't heard about them before... remember I am still novice here.

[robbo]

Very nice Seve, love the plane mate

Hi Andy,
The Revell aquacolor is a fairly new range of water based acrylic paints. It brushes well but through the AB it just splatters or if you thin it further it won't cover.
It also went like jelly in the AB when thinned with Revells own aquacolor thinner
Had to totally strip the AB and rebuild. I'll stick with Tamiya

Thanks for the kind words Robbo

[wouter]

nice stuff Steve, I especially love that paintwork on the Me262, that's just amazing mate!

Cheers

[deafpanzer]

Oh got it! Thanks for the head up about those Revell paint. Owe you a beer...

[TRM]

Great stuff Steve!!! Keep em coming, plenty of room for more!!!

[bullardino]

Great 262, Steve. You chose a very interesting scheme, and got a stunning result

How is the Dragon kit?

[WigWag Workshop]

Awesome builds! I am wanting to do a proper motorcycle build.

[wbill76]

Cool stuff there Steve! The 2-seater Me262 looks sharp!

[bigjohn]

Hi Steve, I agrree with the rest of the fellas. Nice builds there! The 262 is sweet!

[Deleted]

Evening fellas and thanks for all the kind words on my builds,
more to follow but maybe not today, just got back from a city break in Manchester (UK) and I'm a bit 'tired' ;D

@ Luigi, The Dragon 1/48 262 kit was a bit of challenge to tell you the truth, it took a lot of fitting and fettling and a bit of filler to get to here. I know there are newer kits on the market but I picked this up for under £15 compete with etch and I've always loved the light grey nightfighter schemes

anyhoo, thanks again fellas, really appreciated

[DieselRocket.]

ME262.... drooooooool! Awesome!

Hi,
last update to my Gallery, until I build something that is...
I though I'd share some thoughts on the build too.. Just for interest.

Dragon 1/48th FW190 A Wilde Sau, I used Hannants Xtra enamels, they sprayed really well but refused to flatten down and even three coats of their matt varnish would not reduce the shine



Sweet 1/144th P51B built for a GB on another site, my last build there. As you can see, I lost my mojo around then and just didn't try hard enough to finish her. She's way too small to strip and try again so this is it



and finally ( for now ) the FW190 wreck you're all sick of looking at








ACW as always and thanks for looking

[armorguy]

I like these builds too, the Wulf however is my absolute n°1 !

[wouter]

Nice to see yer update mate. The FW sure is one of my fav aircrafts, Kurt Tank sure did a great job, and the wrecked Wulf, well, ain't she a beauty

Cheers

[Deleted]

Thanks guys,
Dicky, your waaaayyyy to kind Sir

AG, yeah I think it's one of early Dragons better kits, shame the paint wouldn't behave but that's how we learn

Wouter, Mr Tank did a fine job indeed . I fancy a go at a late D9 in 1/32 ... Maybe if I see one at the right price at Telford

[venom1]

Great work Steve! And trust me, I don't think anyone here will ever get sick of looking at that 190!!!

Cheers

Sam

[wbill76]

Another nice set of additions Steve! Never get tired of seeing the Wulf in the Woods!

[Deleted]

Evening all,
here's something I knocked up for a GB, It was British Jets which is one of my favourites. It's a 1/144 Tornado GR4 with Stormshadows. The Camo GR1a is one I built a year or two back, just thought it made a good contrast
Here's the pics, I've a Wessex Wreck to ...well... wreck

[wbill76]

Nice pair of Tornados there Steve!

[Deleted]

Thanks Mark, I'm going to add some green under growth and enter it into the South Cheshire Model show, just co'z I'm going

Cheers wbill , the tornado is a great looking plane, just wish i had space for the 1/48th HB kit

[thug626]

Hello Steve,
Hmmmm....now where have I seen that Tornado before? :-) Outstanding work to bring the Me across the finish line. The Fw is amazing. I've been seeing it quite often and, it's very nice to see some other angles. Top shelf work you have there.

[bbd468]
