Hi JD

How about giving it a light sand? Concentrate on the masking lines. Then give it another coat? Wouldn't that save time and agro?

Hang in there my friend

Unfortunately, the blue that is down is a "one off"...I had to mix it and so I have no more. I had enough for the extra wee bits and the fuselage and canopy.

I'll have to do it the hard way. I already started this morning masking the white bits - but I'm cursing making it so broken as it's taking an age - and lots of snipping tape!

I've given up getting this done by the deadline of tomorrow night. I simply will not be able to do it.

That's a huge weight off my shoulders and now I can take my time with the camo and make it (hopefully) super cool - without rushing. I was in danger of having to put tape on pieces of paint that hadn't had enough time to seal to the model...this way I can give it the time required.

I will of course continue to show it's progress here.

That's to all who showed any interest...I hope you enjoyed the journey.

Hi JD

Take your time. You will enjoy it better. Who cares about the comp? It's good that the weight has been lifted.

Take your time. I look forward to the result.

Thank you again for taking the time to post your endeavours here.

Thank you

Ok - well, this model eventually got finished. I had to - I wasn't going to make anymore models until I finished it and I wasn't wanting to give up because I didn't want to set a precedent where if something got tough, I threw it away.

Anyway, it's finally finished - 1 year on from when it should've been finished.

Hi JudgeDredd

You persevered

and now it's a work of art, finely crafted by the master's hand. Well done!

BTW, nice chair and wallpaper.

Hi JD

I like it.

We do these things for fun so there should be no time limit....Unless you enter a competition

Thanks for documenting your build. Warts and all.

What will your next build be?

Regards

Thanks Asid. It was a "competition" hence the time limit. I don't normally set time limits.

Next build is actually what I was working on prior to starting the Su-27. I don't normally start a model until I've finished - but the Su-27 was for a competition and so I dropped what I was working on - and as I hadn't finished the Su-27, I didn't go back to the one I had started.
