    Apr 20, 2012 - B-Wing ID, Build and Now Paint #1

    I'm looking for a few bits n bobs off the Studio B wings, if anyone has any idea's on the parts in the pics below please feel free post here.

    The part on the left appears a few times on the model and is bugging the hell out of me as I'm sure its an obvious kit but just cant locate it?

    Was there foot tapping? Thats ALWAYS a bad sign mate. Best thing i can suggest with resin, is leave the Vacuum on, with the nozzle clamped over what your sanding, works for me.

    Guy did bad things with Dremel and resin and created snowstorm. Guy now made promise no mess or bbbbbbbbad things happen.

    I had to hand clean all the balls in a baby ball pool, like 200 or so then covered it in resin again the next day....doh!

    Static isnt your friend either, stuff sticks to plastics like, that 'orrible brown stuff, to a blanket.
    Vacuum mate, it works great, as you dremel, it just goes straight up the pipe, ZERO mess.

    Will Guy's clubhouse be 'padded' to contain the resin monster inside?.
    Either for his safety or the neighbors banging on the door at 2am

    Looking for those part ID's for you mate, LYK.

    Love the new GuyLM headquarters mate, looks nice and cosy! I hear you on the vacuum noise, I'm another nocturnal builder who cringes when firing up the Dremel at 3.30 am.

    I still have my B wing boxed up, just waiting for inspiration to strike one of these years. Your original B is still one of my all time hero builds. Just flawless.

    Sweet looking new headquarters for GuyLM mate. You gonna put some nice fluro lights in there for maximum light?.
    I find late afternoon & the wee small hours of night are the best for me to get stuff done. Red wine gets me in the do/do mood too, but not too much, then I'm just plain sleepy.
    Then again, I am a Kiwi & they are nocturnal, so that makes it all clear.

    I'll hunt out those parts too mate, LYK.

    It's from the Tamiya 1/350 Bismarck or Tirpitz.

    Can you believe that was the last kit for me to look at in my stock mate, you've just saved me a grulling day bud.

    Nice work buddy, did most of that come in the kit, or did you break out most of the donors?

    85% kit parts at the mo but am thinking of replacing more, I just cant seem to enjoy resin anymore. I think anything that I can replace I will (if it makes sense).
