Gary S Wrote:Thank you Bruce. I've really taken a liking to this scratchbuilding from the prototype stuff. And it isn't all that hard - Take a few photos, take a few measurements, glue some plastic together, slap on some paint, and bingo! It certainly eases the stress and worry of wondering if a fantasy creation is realistic or not.
Seriously though, the actual "act of scratchbuilding" isn't too much more complicated than that. The "slapping on of some paint", is a briefer description of the process, than is the actual application of the paint and weathering, but in reality, it is learn-able, and within the realm of probable for most modelers to do.
I have to admit though, I'd have second thoughts about competing with you, Gary, in a model contest.
Great work!!
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
