Projects?

Post by Rich » Sat Jul 03, 2021 4:31 pm

Anybody working on anything? Here is a shot of my work bench for July 3rd. I have a few 1:43 fire projects, and a few 1:43 police projects going. The hobby is really slow.

When you say "projects", do you mean like yours where you start one and never finish it because you get excited and start working on something else?
:) :) :) I'm still waiting to see the finished "Mother, Juggs & Speed" ambulance that's buried back there in that pile. The Minnesota SUV in the front looks really nice!

These are headed back to the stripper. For some reason the blue doesn’t want to stay on the base. Probably for the best as this blue seems a bit dark.

I also painted a bunch of models today.

I also had this one go south as well. But I figured it might right from the start. I had an old can of silver blue paint and wanted to see if the color was good for a SMPV car. well it wasn’t the right color - it seems to turn greenish. But also it fish eyed, ran and bubbled. I probably didn’t shake long enough to get it mixed.

Oh well. Lesson learned.

Well I’m actually not really „working“ on my projects, but I also have a lot, awaiting continuing or completion ;) And yeah painting is also a bit of a lottery for me :cry:

I've got a few cars in pieces at the moment. I've just gotta find the time to finish them

working on a WC-52 that was used during WW II to pull the class 1000 fire pump that I did a model of a few months ago. The frame is made and the engine is made but the engine paint won't dry! Must be the excessive dampness an humidity we are feeling right now.
