Thought I'd get the ball rolling on this one. As I've found my recent builds stalling a little. I needed a kit that I felt really enthusiastic about and on the recommendation of Des & Lance, I've gone for the Postwar Brisfit.
It's definitely got me fired up and, although I haven't technically got the kit yet (still in the post from Weta - I was hoping to get it yesterday
), I have received a few of the extras I've ordered for the kit... HGW fabric seat belts, wicker seat from Barracuda, spark plugs from Taurus
So, I have managed to get the seat painted. First off though, there was resin flash along the open structure of the chair back, which was a shame as it wasn't easy to remove and it detracts from the otherwise 'perfect' look - to be fair you can only tell in a micro shot, but the 2nd seat that comes with the pack didn't fair as well and I'm going to have to replace that one for the Camel build...
Started off with a dark brown Vallejo followed by a light shade overspray to highlight, followed again by oils to capture the recesses...
The HGW belts are sublime and really look the part, especially with the creasing
highly recommended.
I'm going for a 5 Squadron one - India c1925 and will get paint masks made up. That's the plan anyway, but open to suggestions.
I'm hoping to actually get this one finished. I've already got some inspiration from Prze's recent build
Definitely going to take my time and not rush this at all but enjoy the journey..
Thanks for following along.
Regards
Guy
