Thanks! I tossed them in one of my spare parts boxes. I’m not much for painting figures, lol.
I really like the color scheme on that one! Very nicely done all around on that build!
Thank you!
Keyda, Good on you for stretching out your comfort zone and coming through with flying colors (pun intended). You’re picking up bits and pieces of this hobby quickly and my hat’s off to you for jumping into more “advanced” techniques.
As I’ve probably mentioned too many times before, the DC-3 was the first aircraft in which my brother and I were passengers so it has a soft spot in my fading memory banks.
To Keyd,
I’ve just returned from an illness with my wife and I. This looks amazing!
Your friend,
Tosh
Mike, It was certainly out of my comfort zone, lol. But I’m really glad I attempted it. I learned what I’m actually capable of doing. I still need more practice with PE though, lol. I’m sure the proper tools would help with that as well. Thank you! I’ve taken a few commercial flights through the years, but I never really liked flying. Until I took a flight in Whiskey 7. I don’t know exactly what it was, maybe the fact that there is much more sensory experience to it in W7. All the sounds, like the engines starting up, and throttling up, you could feel every bump going down the runway, and the second she left the ground you felt it. You could feel the wind through the open cockpit windows, hear the engines just humming along. Commercial flights feel like your in a tiny uncomfortable chair stuffed inside a sardine can. They go way higher up in altitude and it makes my ears hurt. Lol.
Thanks Tosh! Hope you and the wife are doing good. Glad to see you back on the forums!
Mini Whiskey 7 now has her own custom homemade display case. Had hubby help me with it since I’m not that good with construction projects. Turned out pretty well for the first time making one, and the odd shape. I picked up the grass at HL and used spray adhesive to adhere it.
A few before the lid goes on.
I made a little sign too.
On the shelf with the lid. The caulk will eventually dry clear.
Super nice, Keyda. Now Whiskey 7 has a realy nice home. Well done.
How did I miss this. What a finish. Easily your best one yet. The color variation is perfect.
Thanks fotofrank!
tempestjohnny, Thanks! Definitely my best one. I made sure nothing was skipped or overlooked, lol.
That turned out fantastic Keyda. Now you don’t have to worry about dusting it. Thanks for bringing it over here for us to get a peek.
Thanks lawdog! I used your tutorial on wiring the engines, it’s a bit tedious, but well worth the efforts! I had to use my magnifier lamp to see, lol. With this build I wanted to add any detail I was capable of adding though! I’m sure I’ll continue to wire engines…in 1/48 anyway!
Very Nice job, Indeed!!
Great historic build, it’s fantastic.
Your friend, Toshi
Thanks cyclingrick and Tosh!
I have some interesting news to share, National Warplane Museum’s newsletter editor got in contact with me today, and they want to do an article on me and Mini Whiskey 7![:O] I’m blown away and amazed by everyones reactions to it. Simply put, I can’t believe everyone likes something I made so much, lol. How exciting!
Congrats [Y]
Thanks!
Wow that’s great news and well deserved.
Exciting news, indeed…and vastly well-deserved! Congratulations![blns]
