This is a test...this is only a test. If this were a real emergency my AMS would take over. I want to see if I can do an out of the box build. So far I have almost never been able to. Wish me luck.

Skyhiker
I think this is my first time with an ICM mold. The kit has a lot of flash and is very subtle in its markings. This creates a bit of a challenge cleaning things up because I have to stop and figure out what to take away and what to keep. But I think when everything is cleaned up it should be pretty straightforward.

Thomas O'Eh
following!

Michael Kohl
Me too. I have my ICM to finish too.

Skyhiker
I think I am becoming an ICM fan. The mold is not the easiest but the subtle details and perfect scaling are great.

Robert Podkoński
I will keep my fingers crossed 😉

Cuajete
Following.

Alec K
Same. Fingers crossed for the OOB goal to last 👍

Skyhiker
There was one piece that was too big to fit. The instructions said that it was the backing for the control panel for the navigator. I started filing it down but then realized that Revell screwed up the instructions and it was actually the pilot's headboard. Now I have to repair the headboard.

Chris T. An
I'm in. Good luck with that kit. 😉

Nicolas
Watching with interest.

Skyhiker
Well I blamed Revell for getting the instructions wrong but when I checked the ICM instructions they had the same mistake. The piece clearly belongs behind the pilot if you look at the kit. So either the engineers who designed the kit got it wrong or the graphics department got something wrong. Either way I went with the kit and not the instructions.

Skyhiker
Today I was going to paint most of the day but my airbrushes were not cooperating so I ended up brushing the interior.

Skyhiker
I finished the cockpit and started with the wings today

Alec K
Nice progress 👍

Skyhiker
The more I work with this model the more I am truly amazed at how finely detailed ICM was able to make the mold. It's incredible. I hope I can keep any of those details without the paint just filling it all in.

Skyhiker
More progress made

Cuajete
Well done so far 👍

Neil Patrick
I'm definitely in for this.

Skyhiker
Welcome everyone. It's starting to come together. Soon it may even look like a plane.

Skyhiker
A bit more progress made today. Now I have to wait for everything to dry before attempting to put on the landing gear.

Skyhiker
Landing gear is on.

Skyhiker
A set of masks would have saved me a lot of time, but after shipping they would have cost more than the kit.

Bozo
Ouch, seen the very first picture.
few flashes but lovely plane with this inline engine version.

Skyhiker
Yeah, there was a lot of flash on the kit. It took me a day to get all the parts cleaned up but in the end the kit is actually not too bad.

Skyhiker
I primed the model today. Tomorrow I will start painting.

Moreno Baruffini
Really a great progress! Bravo!

Cuajete
I agree with Moreno 👍

Skyhiker
I got the bottom painted but I think I am going to give it a day to cure before masking it.

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Skyhiker
This build is making me question why I predominantly use an airbrush instead of a paintbrush.

Moreno Baruffini
I agree with you, I use use mainly the brush when modelling

Mr D
Hi Skyhiker 👋
Always pays to give paint good drying time before more work, l like 48hrs on main airframe, probably why l tend to have couple of builds on the go ..... something to do between drying periods.
Looking good , l always hand paint my wheels, lve done 67 in 2yrs 🫣
Good luck on next steps 👍

Skyhiker
I got the base layer of RLM71 down. I'm not happy with the windows but I couldn't sand them down flat without damaging a lot of details. I'll have to see how it looks when the paint is dry.

Mr D
Coming along nicely 👍
An interesting wing shape.. interesting aircraft generally, nice 🙂👍

Skyhiker
The wing shape reminds me of a flying fish.

Michael Kohl
The wing shape actually gave inspiration for the Spitfire. Rolls Royce - if I recall that right - acquired a He-70 for test purposes. Here the designer of the Spitfire saw the plane.

Skyhiker
That's an interesting bit of history Michael. I didn't know that but I did notice the similarities. As a matter of fact I was just comparing the two a few days ago.

Skyhiker
Well, somehow the landing gear broke on me, so I had to scratch build a new part. Seems to be working now.

Skyhiker
Camo down

Cuajete
Good progress 👍

Mr D
Good job on the camo, every plane probably has variations in camo so box art is good, it does work well as a camouflage that pattern, breaks up the profile well.
Nice build 👍

Jennifer Franklin
The camo looks great.

Skyhiker
I managed to get the flu so I'm not getting much done right now.

Nicolas
Gute Besserung.

Skyhiker
Danke Nicolas

Thomas Kolb
Get better soon!

Cuajete
Get well, Skyhiker!

Jennifer Franklin
Get well soon!

Alex K
I'm in - of course...

Rui S
Me too 😎

gorby
Thanks for tagging along Alex & Rui. 🙂

Kesa Tiho
Looks like a tuk tuk, anyways its really nice to see you on another project. Im excited to see the fuck ups and final result. Hope your misses doesn't mind you being in love with another woman 😄

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat here, of course 🙂

gorby
Welcome Kesa & Robert. 🙂
Kesa Mrs Gorby is used to my plastic passion obsessions. 😄
And yes it does look a bit like a tuk tuk. Incidentally there have been a couple of screw up so far but obviously I won't be telling everyone as I want to make it look like I know what I'm doing. 🙂

Spanjaard
certainly joining this new gorby's strange subject being created 🙂

gorby
Thanks Spanjaard, you're always welcome. 🙂

Mr D
Hi Gorby 👋
Another interesting one 😃👍
Nice project, they used 3wheel trucks like these at Cadburys factory as they need tighter turning circles round the plant.

gorby
Glad you're tagging along Mr D.
Their turning circle was one of the reasons they where so successful. Do you have any association with Cadburys - other than eating their products of course. 🙂

Mark Sherwood
Remember these trundling down Zetland Road and Linthorpe Road from the train station. BR and their parcel/freight division use to operate them.

gorby
Hi Mark, apparently British Rail was the main user of these things.

bughunter
That will be another session of scratch modeling of famous (with 30,000 it must be famous) British cars 👍 So ugly that they begin to be beautiful.

gorby
Hi Frank, they certainly are famous in Britland...although probably only with men of a certain age. 😄

Mr D
Hi Gorby...No just eating 😂 l live not far from factory n seen documentary on it too.
Like the project 😁👍

gorby
Thanks Mr D.
Been on their factory tour, as a chocoholic it was wonderful. 🙂

Alex K
One interesting thing to have in mind is that Gorby set to build the ancient 1962 tool of the Scarab and scratch the Mechanical Horse precisely when there appeared recent (and immeasurably better, as for the Scarab - I guess) 3d-printed 1:72 kits of both the Scarab and the French relatives of the MH (i.e. FAR tractors)... But that's Gorby (much to our delight!) 👍

gorby
THERE'S 3D PRINTED KITS!!!??? 😄 😄
I'd be too tight to buy them anyway.
I'm about a month into the build so far and quite enjoying it....mostly.

Alex K
We know you would enjoy this - and we enjoy too... Plus: if you are going to turn the Scarab into a wrecker / recovery vehicle (!!!)... extra joy. Very Gorby-esque work! 👍 👍

gorby
Thanks Alex. 🙂

Ben M

Mr D
"Would you like some parts with that Flash sir" 😂
I know you will pull a great job out of it Gorby 😀👍

Jan Peters
Following this masochistic exercise 😄
The tow truck you fell in love with, was it used to tow Reliant Robins?

Zsolt Czegle
I take a seat!

Intresting project! Go Gorby Go!

gorby
Good grief, I appear to have attracted a crowd. 😳
I didn't realise the Robin was globally infamous. That would be a great idea Jan if I can find a cheapish 1/76 one. 😄
Thanks all for taking an interest. 🙂

Alec K
Taking a seat. The nasties the kit, the more Gorby likes it… I'll forgo spelling out the logical conclusion from this. 😄 😄 😄

gorby
😄 😄 😄
Welcome to the show Alec. I have some nice kits in my mini stash, for some reason they keep being overlooked. Maybe I choose kits which make scratch-building feel like an easier option. 😄

David Taylor
Always worth a watch.

Mr D
X2 trucks under way 😁👍

Jan Peters
Great job on the fiddly bits Gorby 👍🏻

gorby
Thanks mates....as usual I'm playing catch-up with the build report.
(I'll let you into a secret. I don't start the report until I have a very good idea that things might work out. If I'd completely screwed up - you'd never know about it.) 😳

Mr D
🤣🤣 prevention better than cure 😜
Where about in the UK were they produced ?
I vaguely remember the 3 wheel electric milk floats as a kid.

gorby
I think they were built at Scammell Lorries Ltd in Watford.
In fact there is now a road in the area called Scammell Way.
Typical of Britain, close the factory and name a new road after it to remind us that we used to actually make stuff. 🙁

bughunter
Your 'secret' is a good idea: start a build report lately not only shows a success, but also makes the build look quick! Must copy this idea 😉

gorby
😄
The one down side is that as I only do one project at a time it looks like I'm doing bugger all for about a month. 😄

Alec K
Gorby, I follow the same strategy with build reports. Trouble is, I eventually catch up and then snail-pace it to the finish…

gorby
😄

Alex K
Fabulous work going on (as it was to be expected)...

gorby
Thanks very much Alex. 🙂

Jan Peters
What a load of rubbish, in a good way that is 🙂

gorby
😄 😄 😄

Lex Jassies
Nice to see this kit. Build the Scammel Scarab as a youngster from Airfix. And looking at the sprues I would say these are from the the former Airfix kit.
Have fun building it 😉

Alec K
Great progress and entertaining narrative 🙂. The trailer wheels turned out nice, I can't imagine making something like that. Just curious: why not make one and cast a copy (I think you have done that in the past)? Or does this have to do with that logical thing…

gorby
Thanks for the comment mates. 🙂
Lex: Yes this is from the old Airfix kit. Quite enjoying the build so far - although that's probably because most of the build is scratch work. 😄
Alec: Typically the trailer wheels look like a different size to the other wheels in the kit which is why I had to cobble something together rather than cast them. I've been meaning to try and scratch wheels for a while so it was also a bit of an experiment. Hopefully future ones will be better.

Michael Kohl
Love the subject and the build. Not really knowing what I'm talking about I'd say it's as british as british can be

gorby
Thanks Michael. You're quite right, they are as quirkily British as it's possible to be and unlike most quirky British vehicles these were a actually successful. 🙂

Mr D
Like what you have done so far, good thinking on utilising items , l always look at a item before l throw it away to see if it could be useful.
My fire extinguisher handle was just offcuts laying in my scrap tub., ps it finished now will photo tomorrow.
Your right...a MC Donald's or frozen pizza box would be bit out of place 🤣 Fire ash, tin cans, spud peel n bit of dog poo most likely 😄.
Quite rewarding the scratch build l imagine.
Looking good 👍👍

Michael Schubert
Looks like I'm a bit late to the party, but pulling up a chair way in the back to follow along 🤣 looks like a fun little project

gorby
Thanks mates. 🙂
I have to fight against an inherited hoarding gene, so it's a bit of a fine line I have to walk with saving odd and sods for scratching.
At the moment it's very enjoyable project. It's helping to keep my grey matter from seizing up completely, working out how to make something from a pile of bits.

Jennifer Franklin
I am pulling up a seat. I can't wait to see what you do with the scratch building of an I beam.

gorby
Thanks Jennifer. Hopefully I'l show more work soon. 🙂

Kesa Tiho
Really creative way to make rubbish. Im honestly surprised at how well you can DIY and scratch stuff, top notch stuff. Either way the progress is nice.
Also if you don't mind me asking, what operation did your missus go through? Having to administer blood thinners sounds pretty serious.

gorby
Thanks Kesa. 🙂
Mrs Gorby had a hip replacement op. Normally she'd just need medication for the blood thinning but fortunately for my scratch-building junk pile, they thought injections would be better.
Okay, that makes me sound like a bad person. 😄

shadowlight
Not at all... you are aware of your "waste footprint" ^^

Kesa Tiho
Gotta agree with shadowlight. Your not a bad person 🙂. This reminds me of a quote from one of my favourite games: "I'm not an angel, but when you see Trevor your gonna swear I am one." Except It's "I'm not an angel, but when you see Kesa your gonna swear I am one." 😄

Mr D
@ Kesa
GTA-5 by any chance Kesa ??
Interesting build this one ... good to follow.
Did you have any 3wheel vehicles in your part of the world ?
👍😄

Kesa Tiho
Yeah Mr D! Do you play the game?

Mr D
Kesa ...l have played it,
I like retro gaming mostly now👍

Mark Sherwood
Holy Chewbacca on a bagel. Who's, who?

Kesa Tiho
I like the exhaust (yeah i know, a half assed comment) but good god I have never seen a more perfect card... ever.... Truly a masterpiece gifted to us from the scratch building god 😄

gorby
Progress has been slow. I have a problem with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) so everything slows down including brain and enthusiasm. Particularly enthusiasm. It's the part of the year I have more difficulty working out how to make parts and usually the first or second attempts end in disaster before something passable emerges.
Perhaps I should drum into myself "Must do KITS in the winter…. Must do KITS in the winter..."

Alec K
Sounds like a road trip to southern Spain is in order. 😊

gorby
😄 😄 😄
I'll see if I can work up some enthusiasm for that. 😉

Mr D
Great work and like the updates, taking shape well now.😃👍

Jan Peters
You're on a roll now Gorby!

gorby
Thanks Mr D, Jan, and the other peeps for their likes. 🙂

gorby
Wow, thank you Spanjaard! 🙂

Robert Podkoński
I fully agree with Spanjaard! AWESOME!

bughunter
Luckily this dusty work in between didn't kill you (even if the mask looks like it tried hard), so now we see new marvellous scratch work 👍

gorby
Thanks Robert and Frank. 🙂
It was quite a good mask Frank, it's now black on the outside but completely white inside. Mind you my entire workshop* is completely covered in a fine black dust which I haven't had the enthusiasm to clean up yet. Maybe tomorrow.....or the day after. 😄

* I call my workshop 'The Hutch'. I'm a veggie, which means I eat rabbit food, therefor.... 🙂

Mr D
Hi Gorby 👋
The trailer looks great 👍 pulling of some nice scratch work 😁👍

Jennifer Franklin
Learning a tonne about scratch work, thanks for all the details. Everything looks amazing.

Alec K
Wow, impressive scratchbuilding. I love it. Nice to see you do something useful once in a while… 😂😂😂

Jan Peters
I agree, quite impressive scratch building.

Michael Kohl
As expected a joy to follow.

gorby
Thanks very much everyone for your nice comments.
I must admit that this part of the build was more irritating than enjoyable, although having said that it was certainly preferable to 'Useful work'. 🙂

Mr D
Thought I'd pop n see how Gorby is getting on with his scratch building 👀.
Very nice... Great job on the Jib 👏 very skillful to pull this build off the way you have.
Pleasure to follow 😀👍

Stefan Schacht
very nice, I take a seat.

Jan Peters
After the labour of love you did for your daughter, which of course isn't a chore being the loving dad you are, it's back to the salt mines to get some real hard work done 😀
That's some great scratch building on the jib, and the
Scammell is really looking the part.

gorby
Thanks mates. 🙂
Hopefully there should be another update in the next couple of days.

Marko
It's great what's being created again - the kit base seems to be a challenge.
Good succeed!

gorby
Thanks Marko.
Of the two builds, I'm finding the kit conversion (the Scarab) to be more of a challenge than the full scratch-build (The Mechanical Horse & trailer) which isn't what I was expecting at all.

gorby
Still progressing slooooowly. These tiny 1/76 bits seem to take longer to make than they do in larger scales. 1/48 feels huge in comparison and 1/35 would probably blow my mind.
This update means the Mechanical Horse is now complete, yaaaaaayyyy. 🙂
Eeeerm, except the tiresome colouring-in bit of course. 🙁

Spanjaard
looks great as it is!!

David Taylor
I had a brush very similar to that one.Had it for twenty years,changed the head a few times and the handle thrice.LOL.

Mr D
Trigger has got his broom 😉
Great 👍

bughunter
gorby, your pic 73 reminds me an old joke:
A drunk man comes home and his wife is waiting for him with a broom. He asks her: "Do you want to clean or are you going to fly off again?"
Nice scratch work again 👍

Robert Podkoński
This is simply the master-class scratch work tutorial. Chapeau bas!

Jan Peters
Small scale scratch building at its best 🫡

gorby
Wow, thanks very much for the comments mates. 🙂

Alec K
You managed some magic with this build (y )

gorby
Thanks very much Alec. 🙂

Michael Kohl
Really fine stuff

Mark Sherwood
True about the binmen, pick a metal bin off the floor to their back, everything was in it. No recycling back then. By the way that's a rather fetching brush ( Erm, Boom, Boom)

gorby
Thanks Michael & Mark. 🙂

Mr D
Gets better every time 👏, the old bin wagon used to have a storage bucket on the side... remember they had brooms n couple shovels...for when the stuff fell everywhere,
I remember they used to come round the back of the house open the gate "which they never closed" and Cary the old black rubber type bin on there back, they used to hopp on the side of the wagon between streets " Before Health n safety 🤣" most bin-men were on the sick with bad backs before 50.
Remember the heavy rubber lids that said "No Hot Ashes"
No faffing getting it built 🤣 famous word's.
Great work so far 😀👍

Dave Flitton

Gorby this is a little mind-blowing the things that you can do.

Thanks, trying to get the hang of this whole thing you know. Been building for a long time, but just the basic kit, without add ons. Now I have metal tack made, need to darken it. Will post more later. Thanks for the help and encouragement.

Hi S B, in picture 9 you sculpted the antenna base; there is an antenna on the sprues, you can use that part and cut off the antenna itself. It's part J14.

S B
@Patrick Hagelstein: Thank you very much for that hint. 👍 You're right, J14 is the piece I was looking for and couldn't find. I'll stick with my sculpted one for this build, but it's very good to know for the next builds!!! THank you again and Merry Christmas for you and you family.

Hi Alexander, I added some LED lights, and a remote switch controller. Just uploaded 2 more photos.
Will work on the seats next step. Inspired by you porsche 992, will add some seat stitching detail

Spanjaard
wow, it looks truly amazing..... is it OOB or did you add lots of detailes (apart from the LEDs of course)? new Delorean seems to be better than previous Aoshima kit

Alexander Grivonev
Cool! Please be careful with the wiping, let the base seat color dry properly. Use Tamiya acrylics for base color (lacquers will probably work too) Also, do not use flat, at least semigloss or gloss for the base paint so the stitch paint will be easier to wipe off. Use waterbased paints for the stitches (Vallejo, etc) wipe of IMMEDIATELY with water and if necessary a bit of the same brands cleaner.

Lorraine Lin
Hi Spanjaard, Yes, the new model is quite good. Part II also released in last month. Part III will be in May 25.
Time machine from Back to th..rt II (Aoshima 064375, 1:24)

And OOD stands for? Sorry for my poor English.

Lorraine Lin
Thank you Alexander for the suggestions!

shadowlight
OOB stands for "out of box"

Lorraine Lin
Thank you shadowlight.
The lights are not included in the kit.

Starbase101
You underestimate yourself Lorraine. The model build looks as fantastic as the person doing the work.

CaptGPF
This I have got to see!

Spanjaard
thanks Lorraine! your english is good, no worries 🙂

Alexander Grivonev
That is so cool 👍 Could you probably explain in a few words how you did the illumination? Is it some kind of a kit, do I need an electronics degree for it or is it easily applicable? What kind of PCB is the one you are using? Anyhow hats off, that looks amazing!

Lorraine Lin
Thank you Alexander. These lights are not as complicated as they seem and don't require specialized electrical backgroud. I bought some LEDs with dimensions of 0.6mm x 0.3mm and in different colors, 3 volts. So, all that's needed is to connect a battery and a switch.

The PCB board is a multi-switcher, enabling me to control those lights with a remote controller. Additionally, I plan to use soft filaments for the flame part. Different colors and different lengths also available in the market.

[img1]

Alexander Grivonev
Could you perhaps provide the link to the PCB board article page where you bought itß

Dave
This is looking incredible. Love the lights. 👌

Lorraine Lin
@Alexander,
I bought my remote switch from a local store. But similar one available in amazon or ebay. Below one has 4 channels, DC 3 - 24 V voltage range, should be good.
amazon.com/dp/B09P89RF8R/

You could also search if this is available in your local store, key word is "RF433". If the LED light is too bright, you could connect some resistance in series. 10KΩ is ok for those LEDs.

Alexander Grivonev
Thanks a lot, that is really helpful 👍

CaptGPF
I'm looking forward to seeing how you use the soft filaments! You always cook up the most interesting builds!

Starbase101
🏆

CaptGPF
Whoa! How did you mold the flames?!

Alexander Grivonev
what do you mean decals for stitching 😄 now I am a little disappointed

Lorraine Lin
@CaptGPF, the flames are included in the kits. I just painted them and put the filaments inside.

@Alexander, I tried your suggestion, seems I overestimated my skill😜 The stitches are really difficult to be a straight line. Finally I brought a decal (dot line decal) for these stitches. Anyway, I'm still really grateful for your instruction. I need to practice more.

Dave
The led lights are taking this to a whole new level. I can see this dio is going look amazing.

Lorraine Lin
Thank you Dave. Watching the movie now😁

Sven Doe
absolute amazing! Great job... modeling and microelectronic ...

Do you jave some programming experiences? If yes ,i can recommend you the small microcontrollerboards with esp32 or esp82 chip. With some programcode, you can control your models over wifi from from a web-interface on your tablet, handy or pc 😉

Lorraine Lin
Thank you Sven, so nice of you. I don't have any programming experience, It would be cool if you can use a tablet to control all these lights😀

Stephan Fässler
Stunning detail work!

Sven Doe
You are Welcome, Lin. Nowadays it is not that difficult. If you want, take a look at adafruit.com. There have really good tutorials and a great knowledge area 😉

looking forward to seeing more of this project👍.my uncle(5th SF) was in country just after TET and one of the few things he ever... spoke of more than once, was about riding on top of a M113 that rolled over a mine

Mathias Decommere
Thank you Mona, that must have been a terrifying experience. The idea would be a fortified position in the Mekong Delta. I'm planning to build a sandback bunker and a piece of ricefield. The M113's will be stationary in a defensive position. Soldiers will be relaxed not knowing what is coming. But the layout is still evolving. Haven't decide the size of the groundwork yet. I'll be starting the diorama base soon... Will be continued 😉

Neuling
Looking forward ........

Spanjaard
vehicles look really good, looking forward the rest of the dio

Kim Branders
Love the dusty look.

Mathias Decommere
Thank you Neuling, Spanjaard and Kim! I'm starting the diobase this week!

Mr James
Looking good Mathias. Lovely work on the M113's. What did you use as the 50 cal casings?

Mathias Decommere
Thanks Mr James, I used simply the copper of an electric wire. An idea I got from lasercreationworld. It is a bit too narrow, but the overal impression works I think.

Rui S
The vehicles turned out great 👍

Every year there is a 24 hour build in conjunction with the 24 hours of Daytona. "Build like a 12 year old" they say. So I do. This is my second time doing it and I've had a blast both times. This is totally OOB with the exception of the body, which is a chopped body from Drag City Casting. I also used one of his stock appearing firewalls as well. It was originally a bit nicer but I dropped the body after I cleared it the first time. 🤦🏻‍♂️😂. Almost shelved it then but powered through and wet sanded it down for a respray. I'm really happy with it for a 24 hour build and I had a great time doing it.

Bozzer
Exotic choice of colours mate. I like it 🙂

gorby
Impressive model (even though I've no idea what it is as I didn't see the show 😳 ).

ArtIsMySin13
Love the hanging display! DS9 looks incredible and the detail on those runabouts is awesome 🙂

Dave Flitton
Nice!!

Oh yeah!

Robert Podkoński
That's right: OH YEAH! 😉

Nice cockpit scratchbuilding!

Steven Van Dyck
I was planning to have lots of figures in this diorama, but the guy who uploaded this kit to Scalemates had guessed the scale as 1/100 and it is rather 1/250. Therefore my HO scale Greeks are completely overscale and will not be used.

Rui S
Interesting 👍

Steven Van Dyck
I started with changes to the access steps, I had to saw these flush with the base as can be seen on reference pictures. Also I had to remove a terrible warp, I did this without a base plank by connecting the corners with thick wire and bending that. I found out that Italeri reconstructed the inner naos columns like on old drawings with both colonnades equal in length. Most of the modern day reconstructions show the top row smaller, so I sawed of the first row and used this as a lengthening part. I also made the architraves thinner, these are really ugly from the box with a slanting side.

Ben M
👀 perhaps 1/250 Greeks can be resin printed.

gorby
Looks interesting. 🙂
If some bloke called Elgin turns up you may have to tell him to bugger off. 😉

Thomas Espe

Ben M
I bet you could get some z scale figures (1:220) and paint them however you like

Steven Van Dyck
Thanks for the tip, Ben, but I will solve the problem with some 1/200modern figures I got yesterday. I'll slice them and add 1mm, then cover it with a stola. I also had to perform lots of changes to the interior structure of the temple, using a floor plan I rescaled to 1/250. It appears Italeri has moved the pronaos and opisthodomos colonnades to the inside, to make up for the walls they made much thinner. I sawed out these floor parts and moved the colonnades to the outside. I thickened or replaced these walls with styrene. That meant engraving the outside of the styrene walls with block patterns. I also reversed some entrance walls because only one side of the gate part got a stone texture. I made the textureless side to go inside the wall. I moved the first two Ionic columns to fill the new space. I don't understand why Italeri is messing with the proportions of this building, just to be able to minimize the sprue variety to two shapes and as little wall surface as they could, while wanting to show off the inside. They also added the arm support to the statue, though that existed only on marble copies.

Steven Van Dyck
The increase in length of the sidewalls is compensated with the unused inner wall parts. The four cutouts are made but I changed the sizes by recutting each part. The inside of the walls is covered with the cutout parts, taking care to continue the masonry. Between the layers I will add another sheet of the same thickness to get to 4.5mm. I will have to use styrene for the plinths, all of these were used for the gates.

Steven Van Dyck
The inner walls are now connected to the outside with spacers. The plinths are machined from styrene plate so the walls fit to them. Four antes are added to the front walls. The inner tympanons are connected to the colonnade, that will fit in newly drilled postholes. I will remove the triglyphs there, they should only go on the outside and not be inclined. This colonnade isn't lined up with the outside anymore, the architrave will have to be skewed. More than 40 columns are now prepared.

Steven Van Dyck
The outside colonnads are completed with the different architrave lengths connected At first I tried to connect these in series but there is an inconsistency in the triglyph bases (guttae). This disappears when the parts are connected in parallel. I also removed th middle triglyph because this was split, I exchanged with a complete one. I cut the moved tympanons of the interior colonnades to make fit the roof parts. I also shifted the outside tympanons a few millimeter outward, so they would extend like on the pictures.

Ben M
I feel like I need a degree in classics and one in architecture to follow this build. The corrections you are doing are fantastic. This will be something special when you are done. How will you paint it? Seems hard to get in all the nooks and crannies.

Steven Van Dyck
Thanks! I'll be using a Rustoleum Ivory spray can for primer. Then the usual modulating. It helps to have a degree in archaeology, there was even a small copy of that statue near my classroom.

Robert Podkoński
Truly impressive!

Steven Van Dyck
I leveled the front walls with the middle structure and joined the ceiling parts after removing a small strip, so the pattern would match. Then I compared the 2 kit figures with some Schulcz figures I had. The kit figures are larger than 1 cm, so these are over 2 m 50 long in reality. They can only be used as statues. My added 1/200 figures are about 9mm to 7mm, so these are more realistic. To make them look like ancient Greeks, they are dressed in alu foil.

Steven Van Dyck
A small change was done to the front wall to improve symmetry. The base was filled in where I had changed components. One of the interior pillars was straightened and now the colonnade and the temple inner walls could be connected to the ceiling, that was only held up by the thin outside Italeri wall. For this a series of strips was cut out in thin styrene so all ceiling beams could get postholes in the outer walls. Then these strips were split in half so you get copies for each side. The same was done for the colonnades, but with a piece of sprue in between two strip halves. That creatded an architrave that could rest on the colonnade near the goddess statue. A smaller version was made for the rear room. Now the ceiling was completely closing up and I could create a link between the inner portals, that at this point were still two loose colonnades with a roof triangle on them. I closed up the ceiling on top of these with thicker styrene plate and then connected the portals with a 21 cm long sturdy strip. Like that, you can lift the two portals as a whole and dry-fit it on top of the inner walls. Now the only thing left was to finish the roof. I connected the four roof sections with a styrene plate and left some room for the distance that I had moved the outer tympanons. That gap was filled in with styrene and then the tile layers were sawn out of that, which took some time to do thoroughly. One last omission from Italeri are the imbrices on the roof, you only get the tegulae as continuous tile rows without the capping tiles between each of the two cover tiles. I currently have no solution for this IMO unnecessary omission; Italeri could simply have cast these vertical tile rows on the parts. I finished with adding the acroterions. Maybe I can look for an existing N-scale roof, because adding styrene tile profiles would be madness with about 10 meters needed.

Steven Van Dyck
The ancient Greeks are primered grey and the building is primered in marble colour. For the roof I have found a solution in Redutex stickers. These have the approximate dimensions of the roof, but will have to be cut up to fit exactly. Then they will also be repainted.

gorby
I'm amazed how much work you've done to correct this kit.

Steven Van Dyck
"Meden agan" is an ancient concept that doesn't apply to me... Today the painted figures have provided a sacrifice of animals, but the difference in scale means that they caught some aurochses in stead of regular oxen. I also covered the empty roof with Redutex tiles and painted these in marble color.

Ben M
They sure toga'd up nicely.

Mr James
Oh that it superbly painted. I'm envy of your skills 🙂 Is that 1/35?

Skyhiker
I'm taking a seat for this one. Looks fun.

Following 👀 This is a challenging kit & you are doing great work.

Guillaume Blanchet
Thanks Nathan

Challenging in deed. It has every molding sins possible, I have to admit, It as a lot of details. It got me with better a filing gap wit CA glue 😛 .

Rich K.
Awesome work Guillaume! As usual! I have one in my stash and have not been brave enough to give it a try. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

Guillaume Blanchet
Thank you Rich! This kit is a lot of work indeed. You need to clean the edge of every parts. It can give good result but since it's very hard to pre-fit the parts without glue, it easier to fix the problem after assembly instead of adjusting the part prior to assembly.

Rich K.
Yeah, I wondered how things would fit. The parts on the sprues looked pretty rough. Looks like you have an awesome plan and things are looking great!
Have you decided on a camo pattern yet?

Agustin Prellezo
Hi, Guillaume. This kit is not an easy one, but you can get a decent model with it. I think I did it. You can see it in my projects if you want.

Guillaume Blanchet
I'm going to go with the pattern on the box the green fuzzy kind of circles.

Agustin: You build look very nice. I think I'm going to display mine with the engine bay remove because I doubt I'll be able to fit the cover like you did.

Marcel
Very nice work. Did you make the seat covers and curtains yourself?

Brandon H
Thanks Marcel! Indeed the seat cover were homemade. Actually ended up being less trouble than I thought.

George Williams
Very cool, was the "century" on the boot done with metal stickers?

Villiers de Vos
Very nice detailed work. How did you do the lettering on the boot?

Alexander Grivonev
Wow, beautiful work! But you have to elaborate further on the seat covers, they look incredible. What do you mean "less trouble than I thought"? 😄

Neuling
Lovely work. The seat covers are the cherry on the cake.

Brandon H
Thank guys!

The lettering is actually white plastic showing through the paint after some very delicate sanding. As for the seat covers, I was initially worried that the lace would turn into an unruly gluey disaster, but the material was fairly forgiving and predictable to work with.

Michael Kohl
I too would appreciate a word or two more on the technique applied.

Nigel Chapman
Great looking model. Should have slammed it for the VIP look 😁

Dave
Beautiful work. Love the knitted seat covers.

Brandon H
Thanks all!

Nigel, as the owner of a G50, I couldn't stand for such sacrilege! A Crown? Sure. A President? Go for it. A Century? No way.

Hmmm, it may look better if you add a gray wash, it may tone down the yellow. Maybe you got a mis-marked marker.

Very nice start, watching 👀

bughunter
At first glance I thought of 1:48, but so much the fancier 👍

Thomas Haberl - TH SCALE MODELS
welcome @Alberto and thanks for your nice feedback. Also thanks @bughunter 🙂 I love working in this small scale and I do this beside the massive CH-54 - tricky to work in different scales but I missed working in 1/72 ...

Alec K
Taking a seat for sure 👍

Edward MacKenzie
I'm in, very interested in this build

Thomas Haberl - TH SCALE MODELS
Welcome @Alec and @Edward! Both cockpits are finished and fuselage half are going to be put together now. I just took a few closeups - D-20 is OOB and D-5 is made from Eduard resin print. I bought the cockpit print and the kit at the same time and after finishing both there pros and cons on each, but I would not spend extra money for that - the kit cockpit is very highly detailed. What is your opinion? BTW - I saw some cotton bud fibers in the pics now - that will be cleaned up ... in this sale it´s so hard to see that with the naked eyes ... Looking forward to your feedback. Thanks all

bughunter
Looking great, as I said not like 1:72 👍
Your seats with belts looks good - I wonder why Eduard sells now 3D printed seats with seat belts on the seat?! Makes the paint job complicated 🙁
Example: F4U-2 Seat With Integral Belts PRINT (Eduard 6481048, 1:48)

Thomas Haberl - TH SCALE MODELS
thanks @bughunter - the side panels on the D-5 are also from the resin print set. In 1/72 and 1/48 I like using PE seat belts. In bigger scales they are too flat. Thanks for sharing this - I didn't know that they offer this now - I agree with you that I don't see any benefit on this. That is interesting, indeed.

bughunter
If available for a type I prefer HGW belts. Eduard is at least involved with providing the metal parts for the sets.

Alec K
I think the printed seat belts are more realistic looking, despite drawbacks with painting. This works well in 1/72. Steel is just too rigid, plus they flake on me sometimes.

Simon O'Gorman
The detail is amazing! Especially for a 1:72. Great work.

Edward MacKenzie
I am really impressed mate. Wow...

Thomas Haberl - TH SCALE MODELS
@Alec: did you already try it? I would be interested in the result. @Simon and @Edward: many thanks for your nice feedback - appreciate it a lot and I´m glad you like it.

Jakub Fiala
Excellent work on cockpits 👍

Alec K
Thomas, I have not. I should qualify my statement: I think they look more realistically shaped (twists and bends) than what can be done with Eduard PE or steel belts. How well one can paint the 3D printed ones remains, for me, to be seen.

Thomas Haberl - TH SCALE MODELS
@Jakub: many thanks for your nice feedback - appreciate it a lot! @Alec: I thought you might have done a printed seat - no worries and I hope you didn't get this wrong .. I'm really interested in how a seat with printed belts looks like. I think in 1/48 and bigger it can be nice, but 1/72 would be really tough to paint.

Alec K
🙂 👍

Michael Kohl
I build the Tamiya one, but Eduard doesn't have to fear the comparison. You brought all those details nicely to effect with your paint job. Anxious for more.

Alec K
Forgot to ask: how do you do your dark wash (interior side walls, specifically)?

Thomas Haberl - TH SCALE MODELS
@Micheal: don't make me blushing .... @Alec: well, good question and I have to say I didn't apply any wash on the panels. What I did was black primer and a real heavy dry brush with white or off-white. And then I sprayed a thin layer of interior green in 90° to the panels to get a kind of base coloring. Final layers were then applied from a smaller angle (almost 90° to the wings just to explain). With this technique the shadows created them by themselves. I then used very little amount of black panel liner to pop out the smallest details. Let me know if I could explain understandable ... not en English native 😝

Alec K
Aha, thanks for the explanation (very clear and concise 👍. I think I have read about this somewhere, but the dry brushing with white is new to me. The effect is very nice imho 👍

Thomas Haberl - TH SCALE MODELS
Welcome Alec - any time ☺️ if I do dry brush after painting main color I would match the color. If you do it directly on black primer you have the highest contrast and you are able to blend with main color until it's just enough visible to pop the edges a bit. So can create a bit of depth at least this was my idea 🤷‍♂️

Michael Kohl
You achieved a nice 3D-effect with this technique. Maybe you wanna try to spray pure highly diluted plain white from your imaginary light source afte the black primer. On top of that come light coats of the base color. This gives you highlights and shadows in a pretty natural way. I like it with figures and cockpits.

Alec K
Thomas, I think you have succeeded. Thanks again for the detailed how-to. And thank you Michael for the optional airbrush highlight technique tip 👍

Thomas Haberl - TH SCALE MODELS
@Michael: thanks - I used this technique one the figure I made for my Fw190 vignette, but I haven't thought on this on a cockpit. In my opinion this technique probably does not pop the edges as much as dry brush done before spraying the main color. Maybe a combination is good in bigger scales ... I will think of it on my next builds. @Alec: welcome and thanks for your positive feedback ☺️

Rui S
Looking Great 👍

Thomas Haberl - TH SCALE MODELS
many thanks @Rui! appreciate your kind feedback. I was able to work a bit on the the D-5 and I want to share a quick update on one of the two P-51´s. I decided to give the D5 open engine cowlings and gun bays as Eduard released the prints recently. The engine is only dry fitted and only shows the main components no. In total you can see an assembly of about 10 components. I´m really impressed by the quality of the prints

thanks much @bughunter! It´s always nice to read - building was a flawless little sub-project and I really enjoyed it (like not always in this scale) ☺

Thomas Haberl - TH SCALE MODELS
Thanks Michael - appreciate your nice feedback 🙂 it might look complicated but it was a real flawless assembly. The only challenging thing was to add a lot of 0.2 lead wires ... I will share some pictures of the completed front section soon. It´s already done but I couldn´t take pictures yet

gorby
WOW, remarkable work! 😮

Alec K
It indeed is. I think there can be little argument that Eduard is THE premier manufacturer of our era. Between their quality, output and outreach to us modelers, I can't think of their equal.

Pepe
Genial

Thomas Haberl - TH SCALE MODELS
Many thanks for all your nice feedback! Appreciated a lot 😊 @Alec: I´m not sure if I understand what you want to say. I read that like: with Eduard it´s easy to do like this. Please let me know, if I understood correctly. Thanks

Martin Weinpold
Wow!!!

Dave Flitton
Wow. Please don't make me buy this kit if you make a beautiful model. I have enough as it is. Too late, I see myself buying. Keep going, this will be a masterwork.
