Small Scale Military Headquarters

Thanks guys for the comments. I've probably over engineered the thing. I have ocd in that area. 3 of the 4 kits are spoken for. The closing on my daughters house got moved up a week, so dad duties are kicking in. I should be back in about a week. I'm still working on finalizing the decals and instru...

001 is complete. The decals worked great. I need to add a couple more. Next step to complete is the instructions and a parts count. I've got the parts for 4 full kits. First part of September I could have 3-4 more kits ready. I'm waiting on the decals to be printed and delivered from Germany. Here's...

Not sure if this helps?

Thanks guys, Nathan

I will get the molds started and let everyone know when they are ready. Thanks

Got a little color on her this weekend. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/931/29732836538_28cc385532_z.jpg Today I received the decals from Peddinghaus. They look Great. I think it is worth the cost to have the decals professionally printed. Hopefully I can get sometime this week to get them on. https:...

Thank you for all the input. The airbrush I have is about 20yrs old. I picked up a new Paasche VL at Hobby Lobby on clearance for $35. It's a big improvement. I read somewhere that the VL has a inner seal that can go bad over time. That was probably most of my problems. Now it's back to business.

I've been using a Paasche VL series for years. It has been ok but not great.
The VL is a siphon airbrush. I would like to switch to a gravity feed version.

What does everyone else use? What are the pros and cons of your brush?

I posted this over on the BST section, but don't think most guys go over there. I wanted to give the offer fair time before throwing it in the dead pile of ideas. We are at the $45 threshold now with 4 interested. That's figuring each person orders one. {I have the GAU-12 gun pods from the Hobby Bos...

About ready for some color. I've got some sample decals coming. I'll have to see what those cost. Construction was about how I expected. Each fiberglass part is a little different, so areas needed some sanding to get parts to fit properly. Sand and fit process. There will be postionalable flaps, ail...

Should I post on the 1/18 page. I feel some people don’t look at this page

I layered these colors

They are getting cheaper. This is for what is seen in the pictures. No Paint/White resin.
1-3 $67+Sh
4-6 $45+Sh
7+ $35+Sh

I have the GAU-12 gun pods from the Hobby Boss 1/18 Harrier. If there is enough interest I can mold and cast them. Cost will be determined by who's interested. We'll give it a couple weeks.

Painted nozzles I did for a board member. Tried my hand at the hot metal effect. Flash washes out a lot of the effect. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1753/42506877391_b9f3dac6e4_z.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1748/42506877981_6822bee23f_z.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1734/41784469824_c28...

Does anyone have a contact to print decals? Need some lettering in white. To small to cut as a stencil.

Mid July, I would like to build one and make sure there are no little kinks. That way I can have an answer if someone has a question. I molded the rear windows in clear resin. The clearity was great but one of the windows has a little distortion I don't like. I spoke to soon when I said I was done w...

Update- It's a monumental day. I molded the final part (knock on wood) this afternoon. I'm about 90% done casting parts. I've got half of the wings and fuselages done in fiberglass. Next pics will of assembly for the instructions. What's the census on paint scheme? I could offer a couple scheme's as...

Very Nice job!

In search of horizontal stabs for any version of the 1:18 F14. Thanks

Good to hear they arrived safely. A board member is sending me his armourment off his bombcat to cast. It was going to cost $60 just to 3D print the lantirn. All extra $$$ is going to getting the 163 completed. Response to the TF30 nozzles were less than expected. It’s a small interest group.

There's light at the end of the tunnel. About 10 things left on my punch list to complete. I am casting a pilot minus the legs to fit in the cockpit. The legs wanted to sprawl out when in the sitting position and would not fit. The skid is complete and getting molded. The Skid swing arm proved to be...

AAQ-14 Pod still needs detail added. I believe the F16 and AV8B used the AAQ-28 https://farm1.staticflickr.com/855/40793761034_9c721c84ed_b.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/843/27635630478_4020e82cd3_b.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/790/27635630528_d7b74e9149_b.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.c...

Shapeways print arrived. I sprayed some primer on to photograph the details. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/791/39652731430_1e2024a7e4.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/874/27590409748_e991a77d8c.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/783/27590410118_ec02af51a2.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/878/39...

What off Erwan's list has the most interest? I'm going to take the ejection seat and cockpit set off the list. My 3D skills are no where near the level to do that.
