Title: Stick many forks in it ...it's done !
Post by: Alexis on November 17, 2020, 07:07:07 AM: I really don't know why this one gave me so much headaches for such a simple out of box build . I was even questioning my skills if I bit off more then I can chew . Nope , that wasn't it . It was the snoopy effect ! Or at least that is where I'm pointing the finger and not just the finger but the moving finger !

Ever time I saw it or even picking it up to work on it created a lot of anger and frustration and I still want to smash it with giant green hands . But she is finished on the shelf with the others .

Post by: mgunns on November 17, 2020, 07:10:23 AM: Hi Terri:

I think it turned out great. I wonder why you hate it? Gremlins, Toads, Demon of plastic? Whatever, you managed to exorcise the evil and it turned out pretty doggone good.

Bravo Zulu Terri.

Post by: macsporran on November 17, 2020, 07:31:51 AM: Nice one T, glad you got it over the line.
When you think about it, very authentic - remember the Camel probably accounted for more of it's own pilots than enemy ones!

Post by: lcarroll on November 17, 2020, 01:42:47 PM: Well Terri, this one may have fought you hard all the way but it certainly doesn't show in the end product! Great scheme, I love the "worn look" you've produced, and a real class model to be proud of!
Cheers,
Lance

Post by: Alexis on November 17, 2020, 10:58:24 PM: Hi guys !

Thank you all very much for dropping with the kind comments :)

mgunns , I'm not a big fan of the Camel so this could have been one of the factors which aided in the frustration . Only got the kit because I really like the scheme

Post by: lone modeller on November 19, 2020, 03:50:52 AM: Great news Terri that you have wrestled this one into submission! And what a super model that you have made too - wonderful colour scheme and despite the problems that you experienced, they do not show.

Post by: PrzemoL on November 19, 2020, 09:53:28 PM: Nicely finished, very colourful, one to be satisfied with. Still, if it makes you angry, just let it sit safely on its place in the cabinet, do not touch it, I am sure it is a very fine addition to your collection!
Title: Re: Stick many forks in it ...it's done !
Post by: Alexis on November 20, 2020, 06:17:04 AM: Thanks Prze , yeah ..won't be touching it for while now and it does look pretty good within the collection :)

Terri
Title: Re: Stick many forks in it ...it's done !
Post by: gedmundson on November 21, 2020, 05:30:35 AM: Wow that turned out really nicely. I've never been attracted to clown-like schemes on WW1 aircraft but this is weathered so well that it looks excellent. Well done, Terri.
Cheers,
Gary

Post by: Alexis on November 21, 2020, 11:05:07 AM: Thanks Gary , I do try and not over do it with the weathering and try to keep it realistic . Your book has been a really good aid in this :)

Terri

Post by: Bughunter on November 22, 2020, 06:48:09 AM: Very nice outfit for the Camel - great, that you finished this little beast!
That is a fine addition to your collection.

I had this model on my search list for a while, but finally caught the Camel with the blue-white nose ;)

Cheers,
Frank

Post by: Brad Cancian on November 30, 2020, 05:46:37 PM: Yikes Terri, how did I miss this one! That's bloody brilliant. I do love a good checker-board scheme, and yours is one of the best.

Great work!

Post by: Bughunter on December 02, 2020, 02:52:14 AM: Terri, I mentioned already that Eduard will release a new tool Camel. It will be around September 2021 and guess which livery the first kit? This red checker board scheme! According to them "this will be the most detailed First World War aircraft yet produced". Let's see, have enough of the old Camels in stash.

Cheers,
Frank
