Steven Van Dyck
Proficiat, sorry I couldn't be there yesterday.

Nik Watson
Superb, lots of detail in a small scene. Love the barbed wire technique. 👏👏🍻

Bas Tonn
Great !!
How did you make thise trees if I can ask?

gorby
Nice dio!
I like the idea to make barbed wire as well.

Xa Char
Thanx Steven, Nik and Bas 🙂

Bas,
Trees are made with old trees from a railroad, cleaned from "leaves". Then I glued branches of zeeschuym with CA glue and painted the whole tree brown.
For leaves I have mixed some dried parsly in small pieces and used those for leaves.

Xa Char
Thanx Gorby

Cuajete
Wow... fantastic scene. Great result! 👌
Congrats!

More pics, please?
What is "zeeschuym"?
Thanks!

Bas Tonn
Thank you Xa !

Xa Char
Thanx Cuajete.
More pics in the making...
Zeeschuym can be seen on the second picture. It's actually some kind of dried plant with fine branches.

You're welcome Bas 🙂

gorby
Zeeschuim is often called 'seafoam'.

Mr D
Thanks Villiers 👋😃👍

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

I think you should do the factory test model red AND the conservative grey scheme! They are both cool. Heck maybe you should do 20 or 30 of these little suckers. That would be fun.

Mr D
Hi Skyhiker 👋
Thanks.... the red looks smart, quite a few weapons to paint up too.. going to need my magnifying visor.
I have the German F4 phantom and the hornet lined up in the stash 🤣

Mr D
Thanks Edouard 👍
I noticed you have the Airfix Tomahawk on order?
That's a really nice kit to build ...goes together well , the back wheel n control stick are bit fragile! So be careful.

Ben M
Is that a Su-9 in photo 10?

Mr D
Hi Ben 👋
It's
Starfighter,
F-14 tomcat,
Mig-21
Mig-23 ground attack version.

Ben M

Guy Rump
Lovely collection. 👍

Mr D
Thanks Guy 😁👍
The little 1:144 good for saving room 🤣.
I would like to do full size Starfighter at some point .

Mr D
^^ full size 🤣🤣 1:48 ^^

Ben M
Hahaha! I have a "full size" starfighter coming up too. It's such a beautiful aircraft.

gorby
Nice result on all of them.

Mr D
Thanks Gorby Appreciate it....there my little fill-in substitutes ....till l get round to 1:48
Definitely want to do a Starfighter in larger scale.
Good luck with your projects 👍

Mr D
Thanks for the lovely Likes 😁👍
Will have to look into the fiddly weapons next.

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat, of course!

bughunter
Welcome Robert! Which one you want to take, the yellow or a green one? 😉

Please do not miss the project description, for the _VERY_ important reason for this project!

Robert Podkoński
👍 A green one, please 🙂

Marcel Klemmer
Hi Frank, I am in and do not need a seat. 😉

Ludvík Kružík
I'll sit down too. If I'm not mistaken, one green seat is still open. 😉

Spanjaard
I am certainly in

Martin Oostrom
Green two for me

David H
Be rude not to join in. 👍🏻

gorby
I'll join the audience as well. 🙂

bughunter
Hello my friends! A warm welcome to each and every one of you!

Working on the parts of this kit can be considered bodily harm! The bright yellow hurts your eyes and you can't see any details or damaged areas that need work. I would have preferred a more common gray!

Michael Kohl
Moin Frank. Nimmst mich mit?

bughunter
Aber sicher doch, wenn Du eine wilde Fahrt aushälst 😉

Kenneth
Hallo Frank, the set with lap belts only could be intended for the US Navy variant of the Stearman, the N2S. Until US entry in WW2, US Navy aircraft mostly did not have shoulder belts. I read this in a review of a 1/32 Vought Kingfisher while looking for seatbelts and wondering about the same thing for my 1/32 Revell/ICM N2S Stearman kit.

Juergen Klinglhuber
Schau ich mir auch an,...

bughunter
Welcome! Thanks Kenneth! That makes sense, as the kit offers also a yellow Navy plane with red stripes. Luckily my wife want it blue-yellow. All the pictures I found shows also shoulder belts, but that was mostly still flying machines and I guess the shoulder belts was added later.
I had already downloaded the ICM manual as an additional reference and looked at reviews because of an oddity on the upper wing. More on this later.

bughunter
Because I was still in soldering mode after the seats, I immediately turned my attention to the tank on the upper wing. I like the look of the metal fuel tank now.

Robert Podkoński
Perhaps you will find my photos useful for your build:

bughunter
Yes, definitely 👍 Thanks!

Found a nice page: stearman-aero.com/

The wing is yellow again, but now the look is better!
I used here MRP-142 Orange Yellow. If someone remembers my Piper: the yellow was "Dark Chrome Yellow" also from MRP. Even this one here called "Orange Yellow" it looks more yellow compared to the Piper.

Alec K
I was just wondering where the heck is Bughunter, and here he is! Lovely progress and topic, following of course 👍

bughunter
Welcome Ben and Alec!
The lower wing is now also painted yellow. I only not sure about the blue. I want to go with the darker later blue, tried AK Pure Blue, but I will also try others.

Jakub Fiala
Nice work on this interesting type of aircraft so far 👍 Following for sure!
