Workbench at R'lyeh

Too many subjects on the table right now. My current headache is the finish on Nemo's Car: 7 coats of clear, wet sanded in between, and probably two more to go:

Good golly oh great old one

There are 1/1 car painters that would clamor for your services.

cthulhu77 · May 26, 2008, 07:04:29 PM

Thanks, but every time I spray on another coat, I find another flaw. It is driving me nuts.

On the bench, a scratchbuild of a fast attack boat, the U-boat cruiser, and a Ferrari. 10 more in the pipe. Yikes.

your worse than me

Dinosaurs, airplanes, ships, tanks and cars...is there anything you can't do, Greg? To me, being able to build so many diverse subjects so convincingly is the height of talent! My hat's off to you!

Recalling what little was shown of that vehicle in LEG, it is interesting to see it again as a model. Is this a scratch build or has someone produced a model of the car in question?

It's available from WAVE models out of Japan and very costly. This is the first time I've ever seen it actually in progress on someone's workbench.

Friggin clear coats are driving me nuts. This is over six days or so of coating and sanding.

sotoolslinger · May 29, 2008, 06:27:27 AM

I feel your pain, sandpaper and paint hate me.

I think plastic harbors a secret grudge also

Sounds like a real drag. Why don't you just send it to ME and I'll take care of it from here on in? Including permanent display area, too.

I'm half tempted to at the moment! But, I wouldn't want to impose.

sotoolslinger · May 29, 2008, 05:55:23 PM

Oh you would not be imposing on JHM. The problem would be for him to find it in his stash

BlackOps · May 29, 2008, 06:48:18 PM

Greg, stick with it! I know it will be worth it when you are done....don't you dare give this one the Starfury treatment!

Looks like you've got quite a few nifty projects going on. I've got more in-progress stuff than i care to think about...need to get off my butt and get busy but it's so much easier to watch yours progress
