There were options for a flat hood but since I wasn't going to paint it red I went for the turbo dragster look with the blower. </div><div><br /></div><div>There was a lot of flash and some big chunks that needed to be removed.

And I was able to get all the simple instructions that weren't totally obvious from the pictures but the best use was getting the color recommendations. Here's the funny part.

The walls are made out of foam core board. I made the building trim, window frames and sills, and the shutters out of matte board; the kind used in picture framing. The street stones are some rubber craft rolls that have been painted. </p><p>A word about the shutters, they were pretty tedious. I cut out and glued each individual slat between two cut out frames. I think they look really good though and glad I did it that way. The drain pipe is just a piece of sprue from the tank kit with some plasticard pieces for the brackets. The lamp turned out pretty good for being a half a tire from an airplane model, a costume bead, and a piece of copper wire from an Easter egg dyeing kit.</p><p>But we're not finished yet, lots more dressing to do....</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7698qHEmCz2TNA9OQzgcwBOu5ntiBmX1O-AsMlJwTfvjyMsuih0a6yInX3L6Oq6BPL1YOtO_iht4hOiQFL3k73_eQu6t5SoOv8a8FsprLHUEJnRBJWBMsAagMlRiLi6tBJzA7chyphenhyphenP2smE/s2048/IMG_3733.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1798" data-original-width="2048" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7698qHEmCz2TNA9OQzgcwBOu5ntiBmX1O-AsMlJwTfvjyMsuih0a6yInX3L6Oq6BPL1YOtO_iht4hOiQFL3k73_eQu6t5SoOv8a8FsprLHUEJnRBJWBMsAagMlRiLi6tBJzA7chyphenhyphenP2smE/w410-h360/IMG_3733.JPG" width="410" /></a></div><p>I found some Greek poster thumbnails on the web to use for (of course) posters and the cafe signs.

I thought about it. The set also came with some bottles and true to form I put one on the sidewalk behind the tank so you will only see it in the above pic or if you see it in person. Always doing work and details no one will likely ever see.</p><p>The base on this is a little too big to go on any regular shelf and as I may have mentioned before I'm a little limited on space. So I found a place in the house and bought a new cabinet.

Now time to do the figures.<br />

I looked through the decal and painting options on the tank and decided on the Balkans 1941 and did a bit of brief research.<br />

They turned out pretty good, I just had one complaint. I know they are supposed to be battle hardened veterans but they look so OLD> I mean retirement age old. Oh well, as long as you don't look at the faces up close it's cool.<br />
<br />
Now time to build the set.<br />
Drafting the idea and figuring placement...<br />

I have an old award plaque that was going in the trash at work from years ago that is going to make a perfect base. This is going to be a city/village street and cafe scene when it's all done.<br />

The street is some rubber brick scenery stuff I picked up on sale from the craft store after a Christmas some years ago. I didn't want to go through molding or carving cobble stones out of plaster. That would make it way to heavy and I really wanted to keep it simple if possible.<br />

I got these figures because I needed another helmet for some other figures I got a while back for another project which we'll get to later. -runon sentence much? So naturally I had to come up with something to do with these guys and then I found this Dragon model for not much $$.<br />
<br />
Let's dive right in to the build. It wasn't all that difficult a model. Flash and vent marks (or whatever the technical term for it is) were quite common though. It made some of the pieces hard to identify.<br />

Here's just one example. There was lots of clean up but with a sharp blade and a fine sanding stick it didn't slow me down much.<br />
<br />
It also came with a TON of extra parts. There was one sprue that I think only two pieces were needed. I ended up with practically a whole second turret in the spare parts!<br />
<br />
<br />
Assembly was pretty straight forward. Here's the hull and wheels in the background...<br />

There were like 180 or so of those suckers! And yes I ended up with a hand full of extra when it was all done. I wasn't sure how to go about this so I looked it up the YouTubes. There are quite a few tutorials out there and they all pretty much follow the same process. Use a straight edge, build in small pieces, take your time, and then assemble the small pieces into just two parts before final attachment on the model.<br />

You can see in the upper right where I got it in to two pieces for one side. I ended up really liking these much better than the single rubber piece you find in some kits. I think you can get a better fit with these and to me it was a lot less frustration. Plus it holds shape and you can make it look more weighty <i>before </i>you get it on the model.<br />
<br />
Next we're on to painting. I've been watching all kinds of YouTube stuff and found Panzermeister36. He's got some really good weathering tutorials. He does lots of German armor. His vids are really easy to watch and I like his attitude and presentation. He explains things really well and has some really good end products.<br />

So I took his advice and primed it all in black.</div>
<br />
Then using his recipe for panzer grey I got a very good result. Thanks Panzermeister36!<br />

I didn't take a whole lot of pictures through this build. I guess I was just too focused on the building and painting.<br />

I couldn't find my sticky notes for masking this time around so I just went for the painter's tape.<br />
<br />
First pass was the basic grey and taking a shot with the mottling. We'll see how this turns out.<br />
<br />

After adding the violet/grey it didn't turn out so bad.<br />

On this close up you can see I did have a bit of misting overspray.<br />

<br />
Also added the red spinner, yellow on the underside of the nose, and a gloss coat so it's now ready for decals...<br />

<br />
And finally here's the final product. I used panel liner for this one with no pre-shading. It is very subtle but I think it turned out really good. Even in looking at pictures of real planes you really can't see all the panel lines so not having them overly exaggerated suits me just fine.<br />

Then I decided I needed a base for them so I built a "concrete" pad using an old piece of wood that was laying around and some plaster.<br />

Wow this blogging seems to be harder to keep up with than originally anticipated. But I'll say again that just because I haven't been blogging doesn't mean I haven't been busy.<br />
<br />
Since the last post I did finally finish my Tale of Two Planes. Actually I think I finished them in December. I did have a distraction come up before I finished that I will post up in a bit. Let's see if this quarantine thing can give me a chance to catch up. And now.....<br />

I got the Heller Bf109B for my birthday last year. I've been wanting to do one of these from the Condor Legion for quite some time. Out getting some reference materials I decided WTH I'll get a later version and build them side by side.<br />
<br />
So after perusing the aforementioned reference materials,<br />

I'm going straight out of the box for the E and going to change the numbers on the B. Otherwise strictly out of the box....well except here I go again detailing out the cockpits that no one will ever see adding seat belt harnesses and such.<br />

Interestingly enough the B has raised panel lines while the E has recessed panel lines. So here there will be a divergence in methods. I'm going to go with pre-shading on the B and just a pin wash on the E. We'll compare at the end.<br />

So we're going to look at finishing up the B.<br />
First base coat:<br />

I had picked my plane and unfortunately (typically) it didn't have exactly what I wanted so I'm going to try freehand on the 3 and add kill markings. I didn't want the splinter camo either, I wanted the standard grey/green used in the Spanish Civil War. I mixed up a custom color and thankfully didn't have to do any touch up or correcting of errors because I don't think I could have duplicated that shade again.</div>

It didn't turn out too bad.<br />
<br />
I did decide to have an open cockpit for this one since it did come in 3 separate pieces to begin with. I also tried my hand at stretching sprue for the antenna. No finger burns! so that's a plus.<br />
<br />
I think this is the finished product:<br />

So my justification for all this chipping and scratching is this is a survivor. The crew has been able to stay on the battlefield for month or two setting up and driving through dense woods, hence all the scratches from tree limbs and such.<br />

In just about every reference picture I looked at there was at least one skirt panel missing so I had to cut one out.<br />

This was a really fun build. I learned a lot in working through the techniques. I really liked how the airbrushing and chipping turned out. Apparently I'm better at that than I thought.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by. I plan on posting again soon so come back.<br />

So I'm going freehand with my NEW AIRBRUSH!!! Did I say I really like it? It even has my name on it!<br />
<br />
Got the previous failed attempt stripped off and a new base coat of yellow, time to add the green.<br />

After the light grey I went back over all those spots again with a darker grey and it really toned it down quite a bit:<br />

Let me show you a couple of shots of the turret, and incidentally the scratch across the number is just two dimensional using paint. Looks like a real gash to me.</div>

Mini Me found these Italeri World of Tanks edition kits at the hobby shop. He got a Sherman and painted it up in a winter white wash. He wanted me to get one too, so I did. Twist my arm!!<br />

It's a pretty cool kit for 1/56. Not too much detail but it will work for me. The decals are all WOT themed and I think I'll save them for something else. I did like the way the tracks are in two pieces and all the wheels are one piece to make things simple.</div>

I just put the wheels on with white glue so I could remove them later to get the tracks on. And, of course, the turret isn't glued to the hull so I still get the full rotation. The commander isn't glued in either. So next get it all primed and paint that commander.<br />

Messiness came from this being a first attempt, (well I did a few practice tests on an unbuilt wing you may have seen earlier on the bench) and using the attached brush in the panel liner bottle - not a very fine tip. After all this is 1/72 scale.</span></span></div>

Welcome back to the Phantom F4 Sundowner build.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I didn't keep up pictures of the detailed build. The kit went together really well; not like the Spads. </div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Got the pilots in and seated. And I did a quick flat black around the cockpit before masking off or the painting.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you look closely at the second pic you can see a wing of another model I was test painting for panel lines. There's pre-shading and pin washes, and post shading, dry brushing, and all permutations of methods. I was testing out what I thought I could do.</div>

Man I think the pilots look really good. Too bad nobody is going to see them once it's all finished. Hope I don't screw it up. Masking them off is next. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A quick look at the underside. For this mission extra fuel tanks are not required. Also we're only going to load the AIM-9D Sidewinders. The wingman (assumed - not built) has a pulse radar limited to search mode which negates the use of Sparrow missiles.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'll mention here (if you haven't guessed already) I'm basing this off of the Mig kill by Lt Weigand and Lt Freckleton's 3/6/1972 in "Old Nick Two-Zero-One." <i>Based on</i> not a real historical, museum piece build. I'm not that good. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So here it is all ready to start painting:</div>
