Large Refueler

[jknaus]

Okay so I was building Aviattics new Refueler cart for WWI German bombers. Easy kit and all was going okay. Then I messed up. Another frustrating modeling session. So here it is my claim to shame.

Its getting so I dont want to touch a model now. And yes I know it can be stripped. I've just never ever done a redo. Usually it gets binned.

Sometimes we can be our own worst critics James ...... I know I'm Purdy hard on myself .......

 

[jknaus]

I'm still not sure but will forge ahead. Thanks to everyone for the confidence boost. Been getting pretty down.

Anyways this is being built as a review so should have something up in a bit.

Then trust us! Looks like it's been run through the mud.

That looks great to me- like it sat outside in heavy storm and got mud splashed up all over it. As they say, happy accidents!

 

[MrT]

Hmmmm.....looks just fine to me.

I don't see it. No matter how much I look, it's spot on to me. Mud would collect in the splatter up high, but would dry and fall off the bottom and wheels, so it's pretty much perfect to me. The only thing I can see is it looks like the wheel camber is off, but it could be the shadow in the photo too. Plus I'm sure wooden wheeled carts leaned anyway. At least in my experience of watching F Troop and The Little Rascals.

Looks good to me, love the mud!

 

[matrixone]

That looks fantastic James!

One thing that I would do is add some mud splatters on the inside of the wheels, they look too clean compared to the outside of the wheels and container.

I think it looks great!

 

[Skinny_Mike]

It has a real "WW1 look" to it if that makes sense James. Sometimes they just don't turn out like the picture in our head, but it's still a quality build and finish. :zen

 

[reconron]

Never seen this Large Refueler before in model form or in real form...Think you did a fine job on this one however!


Hear all the echoes here James...When so many people think it does look just right,well it most likely is then. :cheer:


Gr,Ron.

I agree with Les ..... should be more mud on the wheels after all that's where the Mud came from .... Right ... ldguy
