    Hey, everyone!, i'm slowly getting back into it...heres an update on the brake system. they are all assembled, and slightly weathered...next step installation! I also have quite a bit of an update on things pertaining to the body, but dont have time to post it right now. -Photo 1; All i need to do is to hook up the lines, and wiring harness's, then i can perminantly attach everything. -Photo 2; I was gonna SB my own turbos, but i was tired of making things, so i bought these resin turbos from HD.

    Even if they pop up after my first opaque coat of kolor, the fact that i sand between every coat with 2000grit, it disappears after my second of four coats.

    Glad to help, Bud!, I run a line of super glue along the entire edge of contact for strength while i work on the whole body. I have to snip them out, and sand the glue away IF its in a visible spot. Its a bit of work, but its well worth it!

    Here is how i did the body on my Blitzkrieg.....just like my Isdera Imperator, i start out drawing the side, front, rear, and top in 1/24, then use the drawings as stencils when needed. Other than that, i just take the basic measurements off the drawings, and let things evolve. Here is a consolidated example of how i like to do things; -Photo 1; After making a chassis plate, i attach bulkheads in several critical points. Then i cut out and glue down all the contour strips with copious amounts of super glue over all the joints. -Photo 2; Here are all the starting bulkheads...i will cut/adjust them as i move along. -Photo 3&4; For more gradual/gentle curves, i use my favorite; Milliput putty. I add two dams for the flat ends of the arches, then push the putty into the area masked off by the tape...shaping...tapering it with wet fingers until it is how i need it. -Photo 5; You can see 95% of the bulkheads were safe to remove now. -Photo 6; And heres where its at now....all ready for the doors, and cowl to be cut open -AFTER my next step of rear frame, and hinge work.

    Hey, Bud! lol, no, havent watched them in a bit....a whole bunch of horrible happened in my life recently...we had five family members die in the last six months, and another fighting stage 4 cancer now, so i havent had very much motivation lately. I now have 29 open builds, and i seem to only bounce around puttering with them all. Not even enough for updates of any value here i dont think. Thank you for inquiring though, i will try to get to them as soon as i can -sorry for the wait.
