AugieYea... dangerous when you start looking at a kit.. next thing you know bits are going together.

Nathan DempseyGeez Augie that looks nice! I almost missed the build completely. That must be a monster of a kit as I thought the 1:48 one was big.

AugieThanks Nathan, its a big kit.. minimal parts.. so quick build really.. the paint has been the longest part so far

AugieThanks Nathan 🙂 Its not bad, no decal solution needed either which is a supprise.

Bernhard SchrockAugie: how magic did you use to produce the excellent alu finish?

SpanjaardLooking amazing. The hairy stick master making a NMF worth of her magic....

AugieOh wow, thank you guys I'm blushing!! 🙂
@Bernhard, the Alu is actually done using a wax based gilt called treasure silver (Now called treasure gold silver). I use it for all my NMF / Alu /Silver finishes.

Choppa NuttaAh how did I miss this ! .. can't believe you did that with a hairy stick !! .. it's so smooth ! 🙂
great technique required to pull that off over such a large area, hats off Augie 🙂

AugieThanks Choppa, with the right materials and some patience, its easy enough.
Olivier, glad you found it.. 🙂 surprised tho, fairly common in modelling circles I'd of thought.

Choppa NuttaEasy enough for you Augie😉
Weirdly my brother Stu took to it like a duck to water, I still kind of strugle with larger areas . . . .
Anyhoooo......
I thought NMF was a "Bart Simpsonism" ..... Not My Fault !! 😄 😄 😄

Clifford KeeslerIt's going to be a real stunner Augie, there is no doubt about that.

Clifford KeeslerHey Donald, don't you know Augie is the master of the "stealth" build. LOL.
21 May 2020, 02:13
Donald Dickson IIClifford, I know! She does this all the time. LOL
Nice office there. No surprise. 🙂
22 May 2020, 01:31
AugieYeah I do stealth builds because I often start playing with a kit.. and before i know it its built.. and I forget to take pics lol.
Anyway, this birds done.. 🙂

AugieHi Roland, I've given some away to godkids etc.. currently 56 built airframes 8 tanks and 1 submarine.
22 May 2020, 17:14
AugieLol, yeah probably built over 200 over the years.. got another 40 1:72 lurking in a box.

Donald Dickson IIWell, if you count what I did back in the 70s and 80s, then another 50 or so. But those all are long gone. And included planes, cars, trucks, sci fi. All of which I have, just havent built any. LOL

Slavo HazuchaWow - missed the build, but at least managed to see the final pics... Lovely work, all the details on the surface, the colorful decals - very cool. Also the position lights really sit & fit in the wings like on the real plane, nice job! Must be quite a handful on the table too 🙂

Clifford KeeslerAugie is the Master of NMF finishes with the ole hairy stick. I would love to know how she does it. I can not get even close to her, even with a darn airbrush. I have even tried the AK True metal colors in the tubes and still can't get it. Don't know. LOL.

AugieHehe I've said the trick a number of times. Treasure silver which is a wax guilt applied with a soft flat brush like your waxing a car 🙂 works a treat
