Richard de Florennes Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 i agree Scott, a lot of work and detail in such a short length of time as well ;D ;D yes the time of posting my pictures is almost real time related to my current work - that is what it looks like now. What do you say now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard de Florennes Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 the final pic before painting (tomorrow evening). Any hints on how to airbrush the thing without also painting the wheels and the black parts of the implement (which shall stay black)? I am also not sure if this implement is too small or structured too detailed for painting it with air-brush, especially as I have virtually not air-brush experenience and I would not use this modell as a test-bed for painting ... Do you think painting with "conevtional" brushed might also result in a good appearance??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 for a first build that pretty impressive mate, did you get the wheels to turn ok ect as i said or did you find another way round it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 You need to change the title of your topic because you are clearly not a first timer. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 for a first build that pretty impressive mate, did you get the wheels to turn ok ect as i said or did you find another way round it yes the wheels turn and the hitch svivels, everything else is fixed ;-) Thanks for all the nice feedback, no I almost cn not sleep as so far I was not too impressed with my painting skills. However, some days ago I would have never believed I could really realize such a modell almost withoout readily available parts ... Anyway, it's just to all the encouraging feedback concerning my dioramas and pictures which also pushed me trying to build my own modells, thanks all you fellow members! (by the way, as I realize how much work scratch-building is, I would never again complain about late delivery of scratch-bulit modells built by other conversionists or about their prizes - if this modell here was readily available I would rather pay 100 pounds than cutting and gluing my fingers. But I must admit I am a little bit proud now ... ;-)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fendt-man-matty Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 woooo for a first time conversion that is excellent, good to see you've found another great skill!! i thought respraying a trailer was good for a first time!!! niiiice work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpinefocus Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 great project to start with, are you sure you are a first timer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Looks smashing mate, you really have made a great looking model. Can the wheels and the black bits be removed at this stage before you paint it? Or are they now perminantly fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the wheels and the black bits be removed at this stage before you paint it? Or are they now perminantly fixed? all fixed and that's what "she" looks like now - one wheels has received a few very small dots of paint any suggestions how to remove colour from the wheels. Looks like it will become an older alloway modell now ...
