Title: He-162 A-2 Salamander
Post by: JudgeDredd on October 08, 2023, 05:23:12 PM: I didn't know where else to put this - I thought we had a modelling/crafts forum.

I started making this months ago...and it's sat in it's current state for about 4 months or more.

So I decided to give it a kick this weekend - see if I could get back into the swing of things

This was the engine that came with it

I decided to jazz it up a bit with some copper electrical wire from my electrician neighbour

A bit of paint

Then I added some oil wash to grub it up a bit

As soon as I did up the airbrush, I had a blockage...it's that kind of thing that gives me hives when I'm thinking about getting back to it. But...I soldiered on

Post by: JudgeDredd on April 17, 2024, 02:47:52 AM: Cheers. Bit of dirt and some different thickness electric wire. Gives it a bit more life.

There are so, soooo much better out there though. I've seen what people can do when they actually give it a proper go
