Kenneth as always bitter sweet to see a completion video, it means that of course you have finished and so no more work on this one. But, a new build will be coming along. Wishing you all the best.

Et fantastisk resultat. Når du ser på en skipsmodell, innser du at dette er et helt annet nivå av modellering (vel, bortsett fra seilbåter, selvfølgelig). Gratulerer med å ha fullført jobben. Jeg gleder meg til neste prosjekt.

Can you explain more on the problems with ScaleColors paint? I have a lot of their paint on the way. Customer service and wait time already have me doubting my purchase. Great job with the ship.

@NorwegianModellingBench

3 ай бұрын

Certainly; it gives a lot of issues drying quickly on the needle (tip drying issue) and even inside the cup, adding retarder didn’t help, some of the colors do not adhere to the surface that well even with good primer - don’t get me started on the customer service and wait time - just awful. The owner even goes so far as he will just ignore you if you have problems. So find something else, there are a lot of good options. Thanks 😊

Absolutely beautiful work! May I ask what is the waterfall that appears in several frames? I am stumped and curious. Was it raining outside on the window, is it desk art, or am I unaware of a means of capturing paint fumes? ;-)

@NorwegianModellingBench

Ай бұрын

Thank you 😊 It might have been raining outside 😉 No, it is part of the spray booth I use. The water curtain catches the overspray, so instead of going in the air filter the water catches it.

amazing, dude... you're so meticulous.... do you ever get a chance to visit any of the ships you build? it looks like you build american ships and planes, chiefly. i live in the bay area, and got a chance to visit the hornet --- which i believe served in world war 2. there were several ships named that, of course. it also helped with one of the space re-entry capsules... apollo? on board was a cool wildcat, one of my favorite planes......... altho, idk how long it was in production. the us air force was constantly getting newer fighters during the war. thanks!

noticed that the air museum where you can book flights is the erickson collection, in oregon... looks like a flight on a p40 or p51 is $2300. that's twenty minutes. i guess i'd definitely go for the p51 --- not sure if that would have a 360 degree view canopy, or not.
