The Hun Build..

Augie
Glad to have you aboard Guido, This one should be fun

Frank Krause
Hi Augie, thanks for sharing your fun with us!
Hi Guido, leave some space for me and the others... 😉

Augie
🙂 Well its nice to know there are people who take an interest.. even in the models i do..take a seat frank, you are allways welcome

Bill Gilman
Ah, the old Monogram F-100. I've built that kit many times, it's a good one. Save my seat, I need to go make some popcorn! 🙂

Augie
hehe oh god... i didnt reaslise the audience was going to be that large

Holger Kranich
Is there still a place in the first row? I'd like to sign in, don't wanna miss it!;)

Augie
I shoulda just known Holly would be in..

@Bill.. I love the old monogram molds.. since the hind, i've started collecting the 1:48 monogram kits.. Oh and gents...bewarned.. I have two more hinds so far to build.. MWHAHAHAHAAH

Bill Gilman
I think the only old Monogram quarter scale kit I don't like is the F-14. That one's a pig. The Convair Delta Wings are really nice, the F-102 and F-106.

@Guido - I think we need some nachos, too.

Augie
yeah bill,m your not wrong.. i have one of the 14's and yeah its a pig..

Bill Gilman
Their quarter scale F-111A is not so good, either, as it's basically the old Aurora kit with some more panel lines added. But I grew up with their original models in the 60s, you know the ones with bombs that drop, flaps that move, landing gear that retracts, etc. I loved it, even though the "moveable" features usually broke after you used them once or twice...

Augie
Never seen the mono f-111a.. but i swear i would kill for a F-19

Bill Gilman
This one?

Augie
More than welcome Michael.. just mind the others.. not sure they are all house trained yet 😉

Wilfried Bogaerts
Better rent a giant screen and put them all in the garden

Or better, maybe Tim can incorporate a video thing device so we can broadcast modelling sessions on Scalemates thru our webcam

Augie
Hehe that almost sounds wrong asking female modeller to model on cam 😉

Bill Gilman
Be very careful what you ask for!!! 🙂

Augie
@bill both would be my goal, but i do lile the down turned wind design

Steve Wilson
Under the terms of the sixth ammendment, I accept my right to say nothing... 🙂🙂

Augie
Oh god... Steady boys you'll get me blushing

Wilfried Bogaerts
If I would appear on your monitors your anti-virus software and spam-filters would go bezerk

Sherif Sharmy
I think the bare metal finish is more coloful as the decals are better

Augie
Starting on cockpit area... Piccies uploaded

Augie
And the instrument panel.... Not so sure about it truth be told

Holger Kranich
If its right or not, it looks convincing!

Augie
Thanks guys 🙂

Augie
New update, fueslage is together and i am starting to get her painted in Blue Falcom scheme.. and its actually really striking so far

Frank Krause
Looking good, Augie! I like the scheme.... 🙂

Augie
🙂 thanks frank

Wilfried Bogaerts
Goin' strong Augie, say, do you use flat or round brushes for your pant jobs ?

Wilfried Bogaerts
hihi, sorry, I mean PAINT jobs hihi 🙂

Augie
lol i use flat brushes mainly willy, i find they give best coverage and leave the fewer brush marks

Wilfried Bogaerts
Thx! Another one, if using enamels (Humbrol, Revell...) do you thin them or do you pop your brush straight into the jar ?

Augie
very much depends on the paint.. some cans are thicker than others.. most are thined further ands its multiple coats

Augie
Well the Hun is comming along, Will get some pics up before i finish it 🙂

Steve Wilson
Great job Augie!!! Love the camo colour scheme, you've achieved it nicely. Well done🙂🙂🙂

Augie
Lol thanks Steve, thats just the begining... its come on a lot further now..
Piccies will follow

Augie
And there they are..

Frank Krause
Looks different now. You changed the colours... or the camera? The blue colours look so different compared to the previous photos...

Frank Krause
Another camouflage scheme?

Augie
Just the lighting changed oddly... will do better ones

Frank Krause
Ah, ok!

I worked a bit more on the interior of the Huey, but not enough to take new pictures.

Augie
I have been following it 🙂 Looks good.. will put mine to shame

Frank Krause
No way! Yours will be fine! I'm quite sure!

Holger Kranich
Nice camo, absolutely! You are building pretty fast!!!

Augie
Hey Holly.. This one is a bit fast for me, kinda trying to get over AMS.. and well.. its actually pretty easy to build.. just falls together 🙂@

Infact.. almost done.. soon piccies

Philip De Keyser
