An Me509- to fight cancer!

[chukw]

I think I can call this plane done. Of course I'll have to add a fresh oil streak here and there- as I build the diorama base. Updates will continue!

Nice work, Chuck! I like your stippling technique, I use a similar method, too. I picked it up before I ever started working with an airbrush, kind of a modified way of filtering.

I'm looking forward to seeing your finish on the pilot. I don't think I've ever seen a painted figure of yours, just the girls

Wow, just wow.

I love your threads very informative, some good tips to try there. And the babes help too....

Thank you, my friends! ;D

It's Memorial Day and the girls are attending services for the fallen, so my dog Andi is keeping an eye on Pfennig as we build our little Kubel. Read on!

You've got a better eye than I, Chuck, I couldn't tell that that jerry can was out of proportion. That was an interesting problem and an interesting solution. If I may offer a suggestion, I'd paint at least one of the cans as a water can, marked with a white cross, if you haven't already planned that.

 

[chukw]

Thanks, Baron! If you eyeball that photo you'll see that the cans don't quite reach the floor- I'm guessing BD's excellent sculptor didn't add the drive train hump when doing his thing. This leads to the whole unit sitting too high and it's quite obvious when you try to fit the piece. The part was that I had some fun fabricating that little box. Oh, I'll have a water can or two, somewhere on the vehicle. I'll be using the Eduard racks with Tamiya cans on the flanks and fender- some fun bending and soldering ahead!

Cheers-
chuk

Andromeda looks like a lovely looking boss to work for!

Two thumbs WAY up Chuck. Great work, and super entertaining build log. How long does it take you to illustrate it?

 

[chukw]

Thanks, Bill! Andi is simply a great dog- such a love-sponge!

Much appreciated, JMac- I do spend a good 2.5-3 hrs on every post. I'd be done with projects a lot sooner if I didn't do all that!

 

[Quaralane]

Cool stuff

Fantastic attention to detail, entertaining build blog, and awesome artwork!

I think everyone here will agree, no rush Chuck - we enjoy the the very solid build logs and the colourful characters. Keep 'em coming ;D

 

[the Baron]

Roger that, JMac! Chuck, I started following you with the Helldiver build, and I really appreciate the time you take to put into your posts.

 

[scorpiomikey]

Woohoo, Chucks here, i missed him after i left "that" forum.

 

[CallSignOWL]

oh wow, outstanding work!!!

 

[chukw]

Thanks, guys!

Over a month and no updates? Pfennig is furious! Calm him, Fritzi- please!

 

[Quaralane]

Loving the way the back tires on the car are splaying out.
Nice work here

 

[JMac]

Another great update Chuck.
