Thanks my friend! It's amazing what you can do when you can wear the Optivisor again...Beautiful work Allen. Great to hear you are feeling better.
Thanks Chris and I sure do have a lot more to do too!!!...Outstanding. Good to see you back to it and progressing apace
Much appreciated Tony! I'm trying to make the wood butchers on here jealous for a change...Great to hear youre getting back to normal allen , the cockpit is looking excellent , cheers tony
Thanks so much Tim! No curtains here, but believe it or not, The pilot has a double window in the pit floor on this puppy...Nice progress Allen. Pit is looking very sweet.
Thanks Bro! Sinus infections really suck, but I can finally get back to driving on with this build. Dashboard decals are giving me a scare though, as they are kinda tiny...Dude, glad to hear your feeling better mate. Loving the work on the office.
Thank you too Fred! I did lose over a week, but I'm making up for it now. I'm having a blast (see below)!!! Give my best to Ginger too...Great to hear you are feeling better and back at the coalface, Allen.
Good start, keep the faith!
Don't know about amazing Doug, but the worst part of the sinus infection was it was only on the right side of my melon. You blow out the crap and take a breath and the cold air goes straight into the void and the pain is incredible in the right sinus cavity. The pit is just a base coat of Lifecolor Dust. When dry, I sponge some Burnt Umber cheap acrylic oil paint over it and let that dry. Then I quickly brush it all with a mix of Tamiya Clear Orange, Clear Yellow mixed with their X-20A thinner. One swipe with a flat brush as it dries quick, and if you try to go over it, it comes off (typical Tamiya). Set it aside and let it dry overnight. The seat frame and table was done using AV 71.040 Burnt Umber straight from the bottle in a mottle/streak pattern. HTH's and makes sense my friend...What a build so far - amazing.
Sorry to hear about the sinus issue. On that I can empathise, I have suffered intensely with it in the past. Not nice!!!
But that cockpit area!! How do you do it? Looks superb Allen. Going to follow this one!!
Great news Buddy and glad to hear the Roads Council hired you to fix them potholes. Hope the tarmac arrives soon and you can drive on Mick. Thank you for the kind compliment too...Waiting for more tarmac to arrive so had a catch up. That cockpit is outstanding
Thanks Dude 2 (aka B-Boy) Feeling great and happy to report that Richard has been evacuated from the lava flow and is back home!!!Dude 1 , great work and glad your feeling better.
Thanks Boss! I really love these kits and if you get lucky and keep your eyes peeled, you might be able to snag one at a reasonable price. Tonight in evilbay, an AEG G.IV twin engine bomber, WnW #32042, went for €138 + postage. That's pretty cheap!!!Glad you are feeling better and are back at the bench.
These WnW kits look pretty darn good. Pity I missed that boat.
Great work on the cockpit and the motor.
Your most welcome Dave and thank you for the kind words. I'm having a good time, but I still wish a day had 36 hours in it. Then I might be able to get more done Buddy...Great to see your back up and well you know ,I dont /can't run anymore. Certainly looking the part great attention to detail also many thanks for making the whole thing a enjoyable read through your progress so far. Dave
Thank you Ian! I can't believe you areJust catching up on this Allen, some cracking work.
Me too Colin! Everybody loves a Benz and I really like your little Fokker build too!!! Thanks Sir...An engine, great work, I do love an engine.
Much appreciated Bro!!! I'm trying to have some fun here, but it takes too much time to do. I should keep my head out of the research and just build it. You run out of rivets yet, Paul???Allen, very nice mate the extra detail adds a whole new level.
