Scotties Humber Mk1

[scottie3158]

The hull is progressing well. A little filler needed here and there but overall a good fit. The fenders have been added along with their PE brackets. The glacis plate had the moulded nut detail removed and punched ones added. I decided to use the kit engine covers as they looked ok and the PE ones didn't add much apart from a lot of hard work.

Hi Paul been talking lots of notes from the back row, love all the extra detail, just one question what thickness pewter are you making your punched nuts from just out of interest.
Any luck with the squadron party .

Man Scottie, you're making me look bad. :smiling2: Mine's just OOB and hasn't budged past the interior. Good work on the louvres.

Cheers,

Hi Pete not sure how thick the pewter is I will have to get back to you on that. Standing the putty up helped a little but it is still no where near as good as it used to be it doesn't seem to set hard.

If Paul is using the standard pewter Peter then its 0.15mm thick

[scottie3158]

Hi Pete,

Steve is quite correct 0.15mm.

Your detailing is getting even finer, I see Scottie! Nice work indeed

That is a much more civilised joke than I had expected, given the subject matter

I could get raunchier but that would hurt...not nice getting punched in the.... Oh! Dear! I need to get out of town now...

I'll leave the punching of rivets and nuts to the likes of Simon and Paul or even Artyom where super detailing is concerned. Hats off to these guys for raising the bar and going further than most of us dare to. :thumb2: :thumb2::thumb2:

Richard, Some of the bags of mixed nuts I buy I think their already in there. As for Simon, Artyom and others I am far from being in their league.

Jakko, Your right that could have gone anywhere with the minds on here lol.

[scottie3158]

I spent a little time at the bench but didn't get very far hopefully things will progress a bit better tomorrow.
