DOLLAR'S VENTURA, Minicraft's PV-1 in 1/72

[dollar19]

Okay folks..... I'm back on this one! I pulled it off the shelf this morning, and shelved the Merkava. I'll have an update and some pics in the near future. I believe the slump/rut is behind me now. :v

Tends to happen when the temps drop don't it? Have the leaves started turning yet?

 

[dollar19]

We have a little color up here in the mountains. It was down in the 30's last night.

 

[dollar19]

I got some time at the bench today..... I know it looks rough, because it is! But I have hopes that some TLC will make a respectable build outta this not so great start. Yeah the pics suck, it's hard to get any contrast with an all white subject.

 

[MrT]

GIT-R-DONE!!

 

[dollar19]

Nothing much to report.....fill-sand, fill-sand......ad nausium. I can't wait to get to some gray primer, this white styrene is so hard on the eyes. I just thought I'd post a little something to let you know I'm still in this.

 

[moon puppy]

Why not go ahead and prime it and sand some more as needed. Might break up the strain on the eyes.

 

[dollar19]

Those are my thoughts exactly. Maybe some pics too.

Hey cool! Good to hear you are still around.

 

[dollar19]

Hiya Martin!! :drinks

No primer yet.....But I did get the engines and cowl rings added.

 

[mlp]

comes along good! It seems this is a kit to fight one's way.

 

[dollar19]

I'll say it's not been the most pleasant build, but as you know I've had worse. :laugh:

MAN that's some thin plastic. I know you showed it earlier but MAN, that's some thin plastic.

Looking good Greg.

 

[dollar19]

I'm still banging away at this. Nothing great and certainly nothing to show just yet. I'm still time deprived but I will get some time off from work between now and the deadline so I can her done.

Just to let ya'll know I'm still on it.

 

[phantom II]

Hang in there Greg....

Cheers, Christian B)

[mlp]

I'll grep me some too

 

[dollar19]

Okay... I know I've been lagging behind on this. In my usual rush to finish by the due date I'm going to try to git er done.

Sorry for being so long on this and for being out of touch. Life has some bumps and My mojo let me down some this past year. But I'm coming back.... fair warning to you guys.

So here she is on the way to the paint shop. (really my cellar, dark damp and dirty).
