Different granularities for different scales? Would the finer grade make good desert sand if coloured? Did you wear a bowler hat and insist on being called Fred whilst sieving?
 22 November 2024, 23:26
gorby Autor
😄 😄 😄
Thanks mates. Hope it's helped someone.
You could be right John, although I'm far from an expert in soil as living in Coventry, most of it is imprisoned beneath concrete. Sieving it fine enough to pass as sand would be a bit of a pain in the rear end though. Personally I have better things to be doing with my time. Oh hang on, I haven't have I? 😳

Very instructive! You are encouraging me to make a project "soil and diorama". By the way: I've bought "Vietnam acrylic ground", because I cannot find red soils in Germany. It was easy to process, but after 24 hours it was still shiny ... so I had to use my watercolor box from schooldays.

Adding paint to the soil/PVA worked quite well although I only tried it with black. Maybe reddy brown paint would work for the red soil.

truck? I am curious what you do with it
 6 March, 12:19
Rod -
Maybe there is some mold release still on the plastic. Instructions often say to wash parts. I never do and never have had trouble but I guess it's possible?.
 6 March, 12:19
Spanjaard
MS K did that already 😉 see picture 1

Martin Oostrom

 6 March, 14:08
Goldman
Strange. Never had such issue with Italeri truck panels before. Don't think it is ABS - try to glue some sprue bits with Tamiya Extra Thin. I don't think this glue will work on anything that is not styrene. Never used Gaia primer - only using Mr. Surfacer and Mr. Priming Surfacer. Is the Gaia primer lacquer or acrylic? Not sure if you have already did it but try to scuff the panels with Tamiya 3000 or 2000 grit sanding sponge (or similar) before priming. Another idea worth trying is to clean the panel with IPA - maybe the release agent Italeri used don't come off easily with just water and soap.

 6 March, 17:36
MS K Autor
Oh no guys, this time it's just a straight build...
@Goldman - Yeah As you said, it doesn't seem to be ABS, and I sanded it and used a lacquer surfacer, but strangely the paint didn't stick. Washing with IPA is a good tip, thanks.

Bozzer
Late to the party! Apologies, work has taken over my life 🙁
I'm definitely in for the duration, on this one!
 8 March, 06:09
Bozzer
The paint is definitely your issue. Most of my trucks are painted with Tamiya paint. I've never had much luck with model air paint. AK doesn't work for me either. I find it best to use a primer, the lads have already pointed out the best, but I've also used Tamiya primer from a rattle can, as well as decanted. However, I've also used both Tamiya and Mr Colour, straight onto the plastic. Some colours over here, are hard to match, so I go to the automotive store and get the colour I want, and also the matching primer. Again, I decant these into a glass jar, and I leave the lid loose, to allow the gasses to fully disperse from the paint. After a day, I simply add a little cellulose thinner and then mix it up, and airbrush it.

Custom decals - that's new. Really nice design. Looks like a huge amount of work
 18 March, 19:05

Great idea scribing the part numbers. I used a POSCA marker to write them (usually the last digit is enough) but it is too easy to erase the POSCA marks by just handling the parts.
 20 March, 20:24
Goldman
Bummer with the fuel tank. I think all metallic paints are hard to mask. Sometimes it works most times you get these (unwanted but very realistic) "chipping" effect.
For fuel tanks I gave up "proper" metallic and just use Mr. Hobby Silver C8. It is not a metallic paint but it looks very good and very durable. Got this tip from Jan Rosecky excellent book "The Complete Guide to Truck Modelling"

When you sand for gloss, don't you have difficulties that when sanding red areas in your instance, the dust ruins the white surfaces?
 8 April, 18:10
Andre Louis
I guess he used a top layer of clear gloss which was sanded and then polished. So, effectively the colors are protected by the clear coat
 8 April, 19:09
MS K Autor
@Andre - Yeah, that's correct. I had clear coated twice before sanding. 🙂
@Michael - And in that case, you can erase it by gently wiping it with a compound.
 9 April, 02:41
Michael Kohl
Ah. Thanks for the inside. I understood that you sanded the colors to prepare them for a clear coat. Hence my question. Now it's clear to me.

Italeri do have this kinds of stupid random errors in its kits. Annoying, but since Italeri is the only company that still offers European plastic moulded kits of trucks I guess beggars can't be choosers.
I *think* that there is no clear decal film between the lettering for the tyres to improve appearance. It will be almost impossible to hide the clear film on the rubber tyres. Not sure that having separate letters is the best solution. If you want I think MBM sells PE templates to airbrush the words on tyres.
 13 April, 15:57
MS K Autor
@Goldman - I'm ok without it. I don't care anymore. hahaha!!! Thanks bro~ 😄
 13 April, 19:29
Spanjaard
if the decals are still in the sheet (misaligned but there) its easy to scan, convert to vectors, align, make masks in vinyl and try to paint them with mask 😉 and if decals are gone, well, MS K knows how to vector them, and has the cutter already available 😉
 13 April, 19:34
Spanjaard
i see your post now, problem solved 😄 😄
 13 April, 19:35
MS K Autor
@Spanjaard - I thought about making my own decals, but I was too lazy to change the toner to print white. LOL
And since the base color of the self-made decal shows through a lot, it is better to avoid attaching it on top of a dark color. 😉
 13 April, 19:51
Spanjaard
i did not say anything about making decals, but masking to airbrush the missing decals 😉
 13 April, 20:59
Bozzer
I'm loving what I'm seeing.
Honestly, my expectations were high, but you've done this "stock build" with the right amount of cheeky adaptations. It's not a clever, "this is what you do", it's more of a, "this is the correct way, to make it better"
And like all your other builds I've followed, the MS touch, is fully endorsed 🙂
 15 April, 20:39
Christian W
Super build so far! Attention and hopefully you can fix it: your licensplate at the front belongs to the rear. At the front you only have one round sticker after the letters UL (it's the city of Ulm in Baden Württemberg). The upper *round* sticker is from the TÜV (Technical Inspection Association), which means a road safety inspection. It's attached to the back.
If there were a hexagonal sticker (AU - emission test), the license plate would be for the front. But since 2010, hexagonal stickers have no longer been used.
 15 April, 21:04
MS K Autor
@Bozzer - Your compliments made me feel good. 😉
@Christian W - Really? I didn't know license plates had that kind of meaning.
I just picked a pretty one and stuck it on without thinking much about it.
I guess I'll have to change the front and back later or cover it with another decal, thanks for the clarification.

The question is..
Will this be your last truck, or the first of many?
But seriously, considering you were out of your comfort zone, did you enjoy building your beast?
 18 April, 05:26
MS K Autor
It was too big and the outer shell was divided, so there was not enough workbench space.
There were many times when it was difficult because there were no instructions on the attachment location or assembly order in the manual, and it was very stressful because the paint did not adhere well.
However, I think the assembly was quite fun.
And I want to make an Actros Grand Prix Edition and decorate it side by side. 😛

"Removing seams from roadwheels the Jakko way." Thanks for the shout-out 🙂

Though TBH, I find it takes about as long as clamping the wheel in a vice and scraping the seam down — the lathe is less effort but not really a timesaver, IMHO. Could be that's down to my lack of lathing skills, though.

As the kit is missing many parts, l will try 3d printing / scratchbuilding the missing parts. My resin printer isn't a very good one so it can be hard to get things to print correctly.

There is a lot of work to do to remove the supports. I did a quick and dirty pass on one side and it fits perfectly!

I scaled running gear and tracks from a 1:56 stl by 175% to get to 1:32 and it fits properly.

Q: How do you deal with any annealing issues? I thought that annealing metal small might melt off the smallest parts. Haven't tried annealing yet myself, except for a large PE piece on some project.
 10 January 2023, 20:54
René K Autor
@Treehugger: I generally don't glow PE parts. I glue all PE parts with the MXBON superglue in viscous, liquid and very liquid. Due to the capillary effect, the adhesive quickly gets into the crack, so I can press the part with a pin, two seconds and the part is fixed. If small gaps remain, use a fine pin to put a very thin layer of superglue (it has to be very liquid!) into the gap and press it down again with the needle. So far it works very well for me.

R K check the hight of the boat deck house aft of the forward funnel. I extended the hight a few milimeter, otherwise the boats on the cradles below will not fit! Check image 112 - 118 in my WIP. Add the one or other milimeter more than I did because of some layers of paint on the deck, cradles boats etc.!

Nice progress by the way 👍

Leif Hellström@SCM Data suggestions
An Artitec brand kit with no. 10143 came up as a potential double when trying to register kit 10.143 (the correct number), but I cannot find any kit 10143 in searches. Weird. Anyway, 10143 can be removed as a double, if it exists.

There are two brands called PECO: one "PECO" and one "Peco" (not counting "Model Scene (Peco)".
For some reason "Peco" doesn't come up in brand searches. I have moved the few items there to "PECO" so "Peco" can be removed.

Those familiar with the kit might have noticed the absence of the firewall. I simply lost it and decided that I will just omit it as it is invisible anyway.

Interesting approach to simply sand the control surface structure in the primer. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a good result.

Denis Dogadov
As a base for the red color, you need to use yellow, then the red will be bright.If you put red on white, you will get just pink.

Michael, using different primers for one top coat is my idea! The usage of my idea is geBIERenpflichtig! 🙂

@ Nicolas: I cross my fingers too. But looks like I have to do some homework before the final coat (see below 🙂 )

@ Denis: thanks for your input. I tested your suggestion on a scrab wing. With LP-7 I get a nice hue as well over white primer and pink base alike. Problem is that there is almost no difference between them. Over yellow (XF-3) the red receives a rather orange hue which I do not like for this project. But I am optimistic to finetune that and use lighter yellow or buff as base coat and see how that turns out. I'll keep you posted.

@Frank: So, se wollen erheben ne kleene GeBIER?!
Da trifft es sich ja gut, dass mein diesjähriger Adventskalender aus 24 Flaschen feinem fränkischen Bier aus 24 verschiedenen Brauereien besteht. Es wird mir eine Freude sein, ein-zwei-drei mit Dir zu teilen - in N?! In M?! Gruß 🙂

@Lukasz: I applied, but as PartPrimerer I am only allowed into the Entree so far. Full membetship pending. 🙂

Welcome Guy

Denis Dogadov
Yes, I will be interested in what your red color will turn out to be. I recently painted small parts red, but there was a noticeable difference in color, depending on the color of the soil. Perhaps your LP-7 is better.
 19 December 2024, 10:09
Michael Kohl Autor
I tested a couple of base coat variations for LP-7. A nice combination in my eyes is achieved when using Mr. Hobbycolor H413 yellow as base for the darker areas and pink (Tamiya X-17) for the lighter ones. But that would have meant to redo the whole base paint. So I stuck to my combination and mourned the loss of contrast.

Jakub Biganovsky
Really great job. I appreciate your approach.
I didn`t test different base color. I used GS Aquarius H23 at first piece at black surfacer, and it wasn`t fine. I will use gloss yellow at 2nd piece.
How did you do such perfect wing bottom side. It looks really nice. I had relatively big gap there and some residual step although I precisely brushed big material layer out from both wing half. Maybe, the used glue did a step at the end.
I thing, that this, wings bottom, is weakest part of this model although, as you ar writing, engine nacceles also need some attention.

Bernhard Schrock
A nice red! 🙂
 26 December 2024, 13:30
Michael Kohl Autor
Welcome mates and thanks for your encouraging and funny comments. Bottomline I am quite happy with the shade of red. I just haven't made up my mind about how gloss it should appear finally. If I would have had access to a cutter I would have scanned the bigger decals and cut masks for painting the letters.
Now what's left are the tail skid and a few bits and pieces at the wings and the stabiliser.

@Jakub: wing assembly requires some scraping and dry fitting. With super thin cement I didn't encounter any issues afterwards. But there still remains a considerable gap towards the flaps and ailerons which I filled with super glue.

progress is a bit slow as the last figure I bought needed a decent makeover due to casting imperfections. Same with the barrels I bought. Issues I weren't used to from.Balaton and White Storck Models.

Thanks Alec. Yesterday two figures were painted, the barrels redone and after I went full circle I am back again at the high base which I left for - first a bigger, then a smaller one with different layouts. Now I am confident with the actual concept and I am optimistic that I can still finish it for the Moson Model Show end of april.

Air cleaners were created by cutting and stacking Evergreen sheet styrene and then sanding and painting. I came across this idea from another builder of the same kit online from a post from a few years back.
