Holger Kranich
Hi Ronan, i´ll take the usual seat in front.😉

11 February 2019, 13:56

Ronan
Ok Holger 👍
You should be patient to arrive at the end 😄

11 February 2019, 14:03

Bart Goesaert
I'll grab one too... being there at the finish is good, but the trip itself is worth it too...

11 February 2019, 14:06

Daniel Klink
Ah another first class blender Built by Ronan... Count me in 👍

11 February 2019, 14:08

Laurent VILLANUEVA "HELLER-forever"
excellente modif !!! pour un hélico extra....tu es sponsorisé par une marque de carte plastique?

11 February 2019, 14:46

Stefan Schneider
My deepest respect for tackling this kit in such a brilliant way!

11 February 2019, 15:32

Ronan
Thanks 👍
@Laurent : c'est vrai qu'Evergreen pourrait me sponsoriser avec tout le plastique que je consomme😉

11 February 2019, 16:55

Bart Goesaert
Ow, you look at it that way, just bought extra shares.... Darn.

11 February 2019, 18:16

Björn Leichsenring
Looks fantastic.

11 February 2019, 20:10

ice
Nice what you make out of that kit. What riveter do you use?

11 February 2019, 20:22

Ronan
Petr Douzek riveter :

Rosie is the best! 🙂

11 February 2019, 20:48

Harry Eder
Nice start on the cockpit! 👍 I´ll take a seat too! 🙂

12 February 2019, 07:14

David Funke
I´m in! Nice start!

12 February 2019, 08:39

Laurent VILLANUEVA "HELLER-forever"
génial !!! faudra nous expliquez comment tu fais cela?

13 February 2019, 14:58

Ronan
comment je fais quoi, Laurent ?

13 February 2019, 17:25

Pierre GARGANI
Salut Ronan, je rebondis sur la question de Laurent, pour moi ce serait déjà de savoir comment tu fais pour enchainer les maquettes à ce rythme!! Très bon début pour celui-ci, il se mérite..un vrai kit "d'homme"...

13 February 2019, 18:04

Laurent VILLANUEVA "HELLER-forever"
tu réalises tes pièces avec les CP , je suppose que tu as des plans etc?

13 February 2019, 18:55

Bernd Korte
Chapeau ! Mach2 offre des maquettes très intéressantes mais je n'ai jamais pu me persuader d'en attaquer une. Peut-être un jour le Triton changera ça.

13 February 2019, 19:38

Ronan
Salut les frenchies : en fait j'en fait un peu tous les soirs, le H-19 était vraiment très simple et rapide à faire. J'ai voulu attaquer une maquette plus dure et qui me tient à coeur pour changer😉. @Laurent : oui j'ai quelques plans globaux du Super mais pas des détails alors je fais avec les photos dont je dispose, j'essaie de conserver les proportions ; Quand bien même j'aurais les plans et dimensions de tous les détails il faudrait tout rapporter à la taille de la maquette qui n'est pas à 100 %à l'echelle , je le crains. @Bernd : j'avoue qu'il faut être très motivé pour attaquer un tel projet et j'ai encore le HUP2 de piaseki et le S51 à faire dans la foulée😉 il faut savoir que toutes les pièces sont à revoir ... en gros il n'y a que le fuselage à garder

13 February 2019, 20:40

Holger Kranich
Ronan, i hope you already get discount when you order evergreens!😉

14 February 2019, 10:12

WAHO LEU
Great job, Re-dong the canopy. How can do that as very transparency. Sir can you tell me!

14 February 2019, 11:17

Ronan
@perry : the canopy was entirely sanded and then polished by Tamiya compound. After that, i will dive the canopy in future to get a shiny look😉

14 February 2019, 17:46

Łukasz Gliński
I feel I should treat this album as a tutorial, but would my eyes allow me to copy that level of detail ?😉

14 February 2019, 19:13

Ronan
I wear magnifying glasses😉

14 February 2019, 20:24

Łukasz Gliński
Well, that explains a lot😉

15 February 2019, 07:27

WAHO LEU
Hi Ronan, Thank you for your teaching, thank you very much.

15 February 2019, 10:36

Ronan
little update 🙂

17 February 2019, 11:29

Laurent VILLANUEVA "HELLER-forever"
QUEL talent 🙂

18 February 2019, 15:40

Glynn Jacobs
BEAUTIFUL work on one of my favorite subjects in my stash! I eagerly look forward to more updates. Can you tell me which colors you will use for the internal tan and the external dark and medium grays? MAGNIFIQUE!

Glynn "WARDOG" Jacobs

18 February 2019, 16:51

Bernhard Schrock
Looks very promising! Great scratch building so far!!

18 February 2019, 17:01

Zsolt Czegle
Following of course!

18 February 2019, 17:48

Łukasz Gliński
Still following, but I was just wondering - I somehow assume you go for the latest grey-grey camo, don't you? Is there big difference between the grey ones and the white-and-blue Frelons? Any mods in between?

18 February 2019, 19:41

Ronan
Thanks mates😉
@ Wardog : the two tones of grey are H337 (medium gray ) and H308 (light gray ); you can sea the result if you look at my NH90 NFH in my albums. For the tan colour , i will use H313. The cockpit is mat black so i use H77 dark gray.
@ Łukasz : yes i will go for the grey-grey camo 🙂
From 1968 to 1982 : camo grey-blue and white (anti-submarine duties )
From 1982 to 1994 : camo overall grey-blue (new weather radar in the nose and aerials, airlift and commando support duties)
From 1994 : camo light grey - medium grey (CSAR duties, new aerials, GPS, armored cockpit,flares launchers in the sponsons and a 20mm gun ) . The last mod in 2001: FLIR

18 February 2019, 21:10

Glynn Jacobs
Thanks, Ronan.

I had been seeing a million different colors given for this (and other French cammo) schemes(s) and wanted to get something a little more definitive.

Oh, one more question, if you please. Do you have a color match for the "green" on ALAT Gazelles and armored vehicles?

Merci,

WARDOG

18 February 2019, 23:26

Ronan
For the green on three tones camo gazelle or puma or NH90 i use H422 green from Gunze. You can see the result in my albums

19 February 2019, 07:16

Łukasz Gliński
Merci beaucoup Ronan 🙂 Your extensive explanation only ensured me to follow my favourite white-blue version in the (not-so-foreseeable) future 🙂

19 February 2019, 08:17

Ronan
If you want to paint the blue-gray colour, you can mix H55 and H331 : 50/50

19 February 2019, 12:45

Łukasz Gliński
Many thanks for the hint, however I'd go for the lacquer mix 🙂

19 February 2019, 13:04

Laurent VILLANUEVA "HELLER-forever"
merci pour ta mixture du bleu vert marine Ronan😉

19 February 2019, 17:20

23 April 2019, 20:25

Bart Goesaert
Looking good with the decals on...

24 April 2019, 06:26

Łukasz Gliński
Would've looked so much better in the blueish version ;P

24 April 2019, 09:19

Ronan
I' ve had to make a choice Łukasz, sorry. maybe one day i will make the blue grey scheme😉

24 April 2019, 21:08

Cuajete
Very nice painting job!

26 April 2019, 11:39

Glynn Jacobs
Wow, Ronan! How did you polish the canopy?

27 April 2019, 00:22

Ronan
@Glynn : first the canopy was sanded with different grits ( finish with 1000 grit ), then the canopy was polished with Tamiya compound😉

27 April 2019, 17:10

Laurent VILLANUEVA "HELLER-forever"
beau camouflage et beau tendu , bravo.....ça sent le chef d'oeuvre...

27 April 2019, 18:31

I can't wait to see the masks off.

28 April 2019, 10:32

Ronan
This evening you will see the beast without masks😉

28 April 2019, 14:21

Bart Goesaert
Nice work on the panellining. Did you mask and spray it, then some blending?

28 April 2019, 14:54

Ronan
@Bart : for the paneling i spray free hand with my airbrush some H342 (oil) very diluted on the lines. Then i use a dark wash to fill the lines and rivets

28 April 2019, 16:24

Stephan Ryll
Awsome progress Ronan 👍

I will post pix of the finished model tomorrow ...
It's the first time i heard that a Mach2 model is beautiful 😄 😄 😄

7 May 2019, 17:47

Dare to think what you could achieve if it was 1:48.

7 May 2019, 17:57

Chris Greathouse
Great Job!

7 May 2019, 18:02

Ronan
That's it, she's finished. Many thanks for all your nice comments 👍
This model is dedicated to Mr Palix, designer of Mach2 models.

8 May 2019, 07:52

Holger Kranich
Many thanks for your WIP Thread, Ronan!

8 May 2019, 07:54

Łukasz Gliński
Extremely hard to belive that were Mach2 sprues at the beginning. Anyway, you're outstanding in discouraging others to start the same kits😉

8 May 2019, 08:30

Bart Goesaert
Astounding work on this one... don't know Mach 2, but at the sound it doesn't look good... one thing for sure... a stunning model from your hand...

8 May 2019, 09:26

Harry Eder
Big props for that performance Ronan 👍

8 May 2019, 09:42

Francky
And all this in 1/72. amazing!

8 May 2019, 13:42

Slavo Hazucha
I really like your individual style, adding so much detail with just painted shadow & highlight! Looks great & the results in 1:72 are amazing!

8 May 2019, 20:13

Absolutely superb result. I am very impressed. Very well done. 👍

Total respect!

1 November 2022, 14:03

Michael Kohl
Another one of those beauties where you feel sorry for all those fantastic details that will be hidden under a layer of paint - until you see it painted. A real showstopper. Impressive from A to Z.

1 November 2022, 14:55

Ronan
Many thanks, mates 😉

1 November 2022, 16:16

Dietmar Bogatzki
Fantastic, a real masterpiece, Ronan 👍

Fantastic!

1 November 2022, 18:04

Ronan
Many thanks, mates
@Marc : c'est un gros projet de le faire en scratch, respect. La maquette mach2 demande du travail mais c'est rien à côté de partir de rien

1 November 2022, 19:58

Marc Le Bayon
Je suis sur le Master depuis un peu moins de 2 ans.
Pour l'instant avant de passer aux cartes plastiques, je travaille certaines parties en 3D.
Mais entre les 2, j'ai quelques autres Masters en cours, comme les Pumas, Cougars et autres félins au 48e...
Et une tripotée de Masters de blindés russes aussi au 48
En tout cas, ton Sufre est superbe!
