All Righty ... What's on the bench today?

Very nice John.

I've been toying with the idea of backlighting a large ocean wave with a U-boat peeking out, so I'm trying out some things.

Unfortunately I tried to stretch my leftover silicone too far, so the mold has to be redon, but at least I have a test bed while I wait on new materials.

Heres the sculpture and then the first pull in clear resin. I paiting the green from the back and a quick blast of grey of the U-boat hil from the front. Then some dry brushing white and microballoons.

Jeff,

whatever you are doing, it looks really good to me. Everything in modeling is an experiment! I ewally like how it looks so far!

[Heavens Eagle]

Looks really good to me as well Jeff!

Hi friends! How are you?

Better later than never, wish to you and your family a great year of 2020.

I'm completely out of workbench, only organized my kits on free time at holidays.
Now getting back to study, new projects ahead taking all free time. :frantic
So when time allow, I get around. :salute

Cheers and keep modelling.

I finally did some rearranging and made an studio area for model pictures. Plus this is showing my Betty that I have been on for the last couple of months.

 

[moon puppy]

Nice Paul, I really need some new lights myself.

 

[sharkman]

looks good Paul,

could use some new lighting myself!

 

[Heavens Eagle]

Looks good Paul! I will be looking forward to seeing your Betty build!

My work space needs to be cleaned up again. Too much crap and not enough table surface. (If it is flat I pile stuff on it)

 

[jeaton01]

Looks good, Paul, the setup and the Betty. You may have noticed I just finished one, great kit.

I used a fabric backdrop at first, but settled on a roll of paper made by Pacon called Rainbow Colored Kraft. I made a PVC frame with a 1/2 metal conduit pipe across the top which holds a roll of the paper. The paper comes in a 36 inch roll 100 feet long and when it gets messed up I just cut it off and roll some more off. If I'm not using it I put the roll back in the box and pull apart the pvc pipe and stack it out of the way.

 

[Barney]

That is on heck of a good idea! Maybe I can set up something when we move. The Man Closet doesn't have the room...

 

[Duke Maddog]

Yeah, I'd love to set up a studio like that! No room at all....

My frame is a 7 foot sectional frame that I use for used for portraits, John. As far as that paper roll doo hickey I think I could use something like that.

 

[moon puppy]

That's pretty slick John, let's see how many of us borrow that idea.

 

[JSteinman]

Looks good. I use a similar system. I have a foam core “U” that has a high quality photo back dropwith a gradient I use for final photos, and over top of this I have a roll of butchers white paper I use for in progress shots, tear off when needed and roll away when needed.

 

[jeaton01]

No laughing at the figures. You have to start somewhere. Yes, I've read all the books....

Tamiya's 1/48 Kurogane, for the Betty. The guy with the Samurai sword is standing up in the Betty's cockpit now, somewhere I saw a picture like that.

 

[ij001]

Somewhere in this photo is my next (non-Group Build) project...

Haven't a clue what I want to do, but as I've done three or four AFV kits on the run, then needs to be a car or aircraft build. Won't be starting until the kids go back to school after the [too] l-o-n-g summer hols, but whatever I decide it's going to be a 'max-effort' build.

Stay tuned.



Ian.

 

[errains]

Hmmm I would say either the UH5 or the 934RSR...if that helps out any.

:v

 

[sharkman]

That a recent haul Ian or just pulling a select few from the stash?
