So the saga continues just as you thought it was safe to go back in the water ,the whole spray job goes boobs up its like a curse from a tomb or such like
As you can see went all oily kind of thing ,restraining my self I calmly cleaned out the air brush and walked away ,a bit late but about twenty minuets later I had a light bulb moment went back and sprayed a coat of self leveling thinners over both models once again calmly walking away ,didn't bother to look untill the next day it did smooth it out and calm it down a bit.
So sat down at the bech/dining table and weighed the situation up ,after all the work I'd put in do I have a hissy and give it the big oooh ive had enough its beaten me or just bash on regardless ,sod it I'll not give in now but I'm not getting involved I'll just finish the paint job.
Wow the curse of the UM kit raises its finger of doom again ,how I never noticed this at the primer stage I don't know (check out the primer pictures)was just getting into it when I noticed
The front and rear wheel/suspension units were cracked in half so taking a a deep breath and a strong caffeine slug assessed the whole situation again this time taking everything in that my blind eye had dismissed ,so joint on barrel halfs could have done with a bit more attention ,resin front bit the crack had broken out again due to the wrestling match making it fit ,the etch head lamp brush guards were rubbish and needed new ones building ,the pulleys for the rear tail gate steps thing although fitted as per instructions were all upside down side inside out kind of thing so would need breaking off and putting back to allow for the cables/
rigging ,so a bit like the song where do we go from here(into the bin I fear) no its no good having that hissy and waving the white flag the barrel and front plate can stay as is the other two I'll sort when the time comes ,so not done with too much grace or enthusiasm have at least bought it to a end because I suppose its not finished if you know what I mean ,still I'm proud of the fact I went the distance more of a draw than a win
Thanks all for your input ,help and encouragement I'll put the rest of the finished pics in the finished armour build bit. Dave
