Now that I have the string that I need I assembled one of the two winches. The PE work adds a good bit of detail to them. I definitely think this is the most PE I have ever done so its a good challenge for me.

Those winches are looking good dude!

Thanks Adam. They took a little time to put together with the PE

Well I'm happy to say that this far into the kit and this is the first time I have had to break out the putty. This really was a horrible fit but nothing some squadron green and acetone cant fix. It went on a little heavy so that led to some extra sanding but once its painted you wont see anything.

Also when I got home from work today I had a package and I have been excited about this one. Another side note. I have had a lot of people ask me how long it takes to build a kit when they see my finished ones. Its always hard to give an answer because sometimes you can spend a year on a kit but not work on it very much throughout the year and other times you marathon through it in a month but spend a ton of time. So on this build I am keeping track of my hours and I cant believe I have put 24 hours into this already.

Okay well tonight I got a good amount of work done on the platform. This is usually where in the past I have made errors with the CA. This time I really took a lot of time and care in slowly getting small amounts of CA on the wire mesh grating. It paid off because none of the mesh got clogged with excess CA. I think this is going to be it for tonight. More progress tomorrow.

Thanks Adam. I'm really trying to do my best. Perfection is unrealistic but just a little better than the last kit every time ya know.

 

[adampolo13]

Couldn't agree more! It's all about having fun and improving my skills.

Well I finished the second winch and got it mounted on the platform. Not a ton of progress but that's going to be it for tonight.

Well this is finally done. The PE work on here was pretty intense but I managed to get it done and am pleased with it.

You're a far braver man than I am... Very nice craftsmanship on the build so far!

 

[letsgobrowns82]

Thanks Zappa and NecronautDrummer! I've started detailing the interior now. Slowly adding some color to it. This is all going to have to dry and then I can go over it some more. I'm planning on hitting it with future and then some AK weathering stuff.
