You're like me.... when someone posts a pic from their home, I scan it for all the information I can glean

All I can say, Nuke is that with eyes that good... you don't wank a lot!

So, totally worth it.

Good job Nuke.

Couldn't have said it better myself. This is so like waiting for a baby to be born.

Nuke, correct me if I'm wrong but that's a Heller 1/24 kit I sent right? I know the scale I just can't remember what manufacturer it is, even though it sat in my closet for over 10 years.

Is there anything cooler than a large scale FW-190 model being constructed by a TRUE artist?

No big update, nothing exciting....just an update for anyone interested.

The fuselage is nearly joined and will require putty and sanding to eliminate gaps and lines. I have added seatbelts made from masking tape and some other minor details to the cockpit area.

It's all downhill from here

Go man GO!

Is everything airbrushed, or do you hand paint some of it?

I hand paint the small parts. I also hand paint the "wash" that highlights and builds contrast in many areas, like the exhaust pipes seen here.

I airbrushed the exhaust in aluminum for example, then ran a burnt umber oil wash over the pipes to make them seem heat faded.

Please do! It's looking quite impressive.

WOW!

Nuke, your work is amaizing, impressive, embarassing....

Why embarassing??

After looking your work I feel ashamed to have considered myself a modeler time ago.

I hate you Nuke

Since he as seen this pictures my youngest want to start building a model ... with me ...

How can I still be a hero in his eyes when he'll notice I'm a more than crappy modeller ?

That is some damn fine work NUKE.

Nilsen · « **Reply #42 on:** April 23, 2004, 02:52:24 PM »

Hmm... i just realised that I have a couple of models i haven started yet and they have just been sitting in their box for 12-15 years.....maybe i should try one.

Any good site that shows you how to use spray stuff? I have never tried that and it looks tricky to get it right.

gofaster · « **Reply #43 on:** April 23, 2004, 03:43:46 PM »

That's all well and good.

Now do it in 1/72 like me!
