Every time I think to myself "I want to make a 28mm motorcycle", the thought process comes to a dead-stop when I consider how to make the engine.  Wow.

  Miss a few days of the forum and come back to this as the first posts to see. 

If there is a more awesome word than awesome then that is the word !

Mac, my offer is still open.
I might even consider paying a third of the postage here

In other words; Your build is amazing and the attention to detail stunning! I love it and I do have semi-wet dreams about it from time to time.
Have you and your brother got any specific deadline for the project, or are you just building along?

Thanks guys

It has to be finished by the 14th of October as it has to be transported down to London for a game on the 15th.
Anybody got a time machine I can borrow

That's over one month. Get a bargain trip for your family, call in sick and you got all the time in the world!

Running lights, landing lights, and search lights make sense.  You don't use them all the time.

As for painting - how about dark and light grays, like these?

And dab it on with a sponge like the ATACS camo: http://militarygear.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/atacs-new-camo-pattern-300x300.jpg

Thanks but I think we are going to go with quite a plain light grey colour on the outside. It is going to take long enough to get it painted even just one colour.

You just need a big brush 

[ErikB]

Spraypaint and some masking tape.

[gamer Mac]

Finished the main bits of cargo bay now. Added all the walkways, railings and stairs.







Finished all the crew cabins. Taken out the beds for painting.



Also started building the crane over the cargo bay



Talking of painting, I have started –

White primer



Then some pre shading with black



Well back to more painting

[Sangennaru]

amazing.

waiting here until you'll post more

[The Dozing Dragon]

Wow, this is brilliant. These project WIPs sometimes make it all seem so easy .......then I try and mostly fail miserably........

[gamer Mac]

Sorry if I kept anybody waiting.
Not done much still learning how to use an air brush. Took me ages just to do some grey and some lighter grey on top.





The pictures don't show all the mistakes either

If you don't work this up into an article for Wargames Illustrated or Battlegames then you are doing the wider gaming community a great disservice.

I am awe struck and extremely jealous....
