    Speed builds

    All:

    This was part of the discussion that geedubbya and I had and thought it to be a potentially useful thread. The purpose? I'm sure there are lot's of builders out there that want great results with lots of time constriants:strong: Ok, I know I know, nothing is more important than time, patience and knowledge. BUT, this being said, Mcdonalds has the worlds best french fries and can get these suckers out of the fryers and into your greasy hands in less than two minutes! :grinball2:So, there.................. Ok, back to my little post pasted from the thread:

    Holy cow, thanks! Well, lots of thoughts cross my mind when I read this response. I do have an awesome airbrush-iwata CS which works like a champ! I actually picked up some micro krystal and can't wait to try it out on canopies. Upon your suggestion, picked up the loktite gel and will probably give this a go when needed. I have several liquid cements-tennax and platiweld but don't use them correctly. I seem to really shy away from using too much glue and thats where my problem is-I get big gaps because there's no glue stuffed in there! I have a few 1/48 models coming in and now that my Son is a few months old-I'm becoming the "mcdonalds" of building- needing to build sometimes as fast as possible. Well, not that fast maybe medium but need to perfect the fries!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to be leaving my IT career and raise my Son-stay at home Dad so in the eve, when my Wife comes home I'll jump right into the builds which she loves to see my do. BUT, now that the house is filling up will German war machines, mainly BF109's and Folke wolfs-more baby clothes are coming into the home with aeroplanes on the shirts! I'm starting to hang these planes on the ceiling. Hey, I'm going to start a thread so maybe under the topic of speed building!!!! Greg, you rock!!! Oh, I'll start posting my werks in the gallery along with my baby.

    Speed building! You would love the Pegasus 48th A4's then. We built two whilst dinner was cooking just the sticking and filling, the rivets were a little over the top, 10 minutes. That's 10 minutes quicker than when Matt built his resin Rammer a few years back.

    Wish airliners were so quick to build as I'm eager to put decals on.

    Thank you Jeff in a round about way you have given me another topic to post up :thanx:
