Villiers de Vos
Fantastic work.

Neuling
Good work indeed!

Christian Abraham
Thanks guys

Greg Baker
First print mostly successful. I will need to rework the thickness of the walls and the support struts for the roof. Much too thin.

3d printing, I wouldn't know where to start. Is the ami 6 a file you found online?

Greg Baker
I did find it online, but was a little disappointed with the quality. It required a lot (and will need more) work to be able to print it. I mainly have to increase the thickness of the rear trunk area. The strange overhang roof in the rear needs to be sturdier as well.

Can't miss this...

Greg Baker
The second printing went much better. I made a mistake though, I forgot to add the support to both sides of the rear roof struts. Luckily one side seems to be strong enough to hold everything, and with a little paint I don't think the thin part will be visible.

Cuajete
I can't miss it either.

Amazing printing

Good timing. After a bit of a summer break spent watching football, olympics, and playing video games with my son... I just started back at the modelling desk. After clearing up a couple of other, smaller, Tintin-related projects, I'm almost ready to tackle this one again.

Greg Baker
With the Hawker Hart off the bench and on the shelf… I guess it's time to tackle this one again. Getting the colour right was tricky. I finally settled on a 10:5:1 ratio of Tamiya XF-2 White, X-14 Sky Blue and XF-18 Medium Blue. Not perfect, but close enough I think.

Cuajete
I like this color, Greg 👍

Greg Baker
Thanks Cuajete. It might be a LITTLE bit darker than I was going for, but close enough for me. It looked lighter in the airbrush cup, but I suspect the darker undercoat is at play here.

Greg Baker
Got the windows in place. I used an old iPhone screen protector plastic cut to fit. For the interior windows I glued it them in place with some very small dabs of CA glue and then a brush of Future. However, for the open doors, I used the thinner "peel off plastic" that's supposed to keep the iPhone protector nice and clear until it's applied. Then I dipped them in Future and applied them directly to the doors. Let's hope there's enough adhesion once the Future dries. It SHOULD work, since I did the same thing on my Tintin Model T project for the windscreen. But that was flat… these have a bit of a curve to them.

Greg Baker
Looks like the windows are holding. Next up… painting some of the details.

Cuajete
Perfect, Greg! 👍

Finn
Looking good, I'm in for sure!

Greg Baker
Coming along…

Greg Baker
I just realized that I've been looking at the colour scheme from the album - specifically the scene that takes place at night where Professor Calculus is taken down the stairs and dump unceremoniously into the front seat of the Citron Ami 6 by a rogue wheelchair, blasting the doctor out the passenger door in the process. However... since it takes place at night, the colouring is different (i.e. darker) than it should be in the light of day. Now I feel like I screwed up the paint job!

Spanjaard
the dio is set in the dark... correct color! 😉

Greg Baker
I like the way you think... 🙂

Cuajete
I'm with Spanjaard 👍 😉

Greg Baker
Basically done. Just a couple of tiny bits to add.. like the license plate!

Greg Baker
I took a page out of my Spitfire build. Not quite the huge cloud of leaflets needed this time, but basically the same technique to show the poor airborne doctor losing all his documents!

gorby
That's brilliant! I love it. 😄

Jan Peters
I agree with Gorby, most excellent 👍🏻

Cuajete
I agree with Gorby and Jan Peters... Really fantastic effect! 👍

Johne 69

Christian Abraham
Thanks

Ian Doody
As I'm basically an old man now, some old man modelling. 1/24 ancient 80s Takara VOTOMS Scopedog, updated by Wave. The legs and feet I'm happy with, but I'm adding card to the bottom of the body, to raise its waist, and I'll be shortening the arms slightly too.

John
Very very good build! Detailing and figures are awesome. The camo on the pants/blouse is really great. Must have taken a while! Cockpit looks amazing too. 👍 can't wait to see it painted.

Maxime
thanks you very much

Guy Rump
Looking great, cockpit is excellent, following. 👍

DuperScale
