Title: Viper Mk II OOB
Post by: sotoolslinger on December 12, 2011, 02:13:11 AM: I'll go first :D So I am out in California working. I did not really think I would have time to build so I didn't bring my usual kit an box o bashin supplies. I could not stand it so I found a hobby shop and got some minimal stuff.
(http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh50/sotoolslinger/IMG_2974.jpg)
Since I don't have my usual vast array o parts to pic from I will be building this one oob. I will be customizing it with drilled out RCS thrusters and of course it will not be red and white (shudder)

I am off to the tool store to grab a pin vise more pics later

Post by: JP Vieira on December 12, 2011, 05:05:57 AM: Hello and welcome!
Looking forward to see that one finished.
Title: Re: Viper Mk II OOB
Post by: sotoolslinger on December 12, 2011, 08:01:02 AM: Thanks JP. So after much searching I came up with some proper tools

(http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh50/sotoolslinger/OOB%20MK%20II/IMG_2979.jpg)
Got her all drilled out and puttied up. Note the minimal amount of filling required. These Moebius models are really most excellent. Having not built a model according to instructions in years it is very pleasant to work on one that is this well made.

I'll most likely paint up the cockpit and pilot tonight. Tomorrow I'll grab some sandpaper and bluetac and get her in primer.

Post by: Doom! on December 12, 2011, 08:41:59 AM: Ron, If your going to go stir crazy and have to pick up a quick fix you just can't go wrong with a Viper. I'd like to pick up a few of those kits, glad to hear they are up to snuff. (http://www.doomisland2.com/images/avatars/cylonanime01.gif)
Title: Re: Viper Mk II OOB
Post by: sotoolslinger on December 12, 2011, 08:49:56 AM: They are most excellent J. I started a MK VII when I was home for Thanksgiving and it is also a very nice kit. I am really happy with Moebius. I already have another 2 at the house and fully intend to grab another 7. Both , of course, to bash right up.
Title: Re: Viper Mk II OOB
Post by: Jeffry Fontaine on December 12, 2011, 09:20:16 AM: Looking good Ron. I see now what you described to me in our phone conversation on Saturday.
Title: Re: Viper Mk II OOB
Post by: sotoolslinger on December 12, 2011, 09:32:01 AM: Yep learned a lesson the hard way though. Do not use Rustoleum rattlecan primer. I should have gone to an auto parts store and got car primer. Rustoleum comes out way too fast and thick. Luckily I had already bought a brush and thinner so I was able to get most of my details back.
I'll have to post that in tips and tricks.
Title: Re: Viper Mk II OOB
Post by: Brian da Basher on December 13, 2011, 03:26:45 AM: Thanks for getting us started, Ron! You know I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with this baby!

Title: Re: Viper Mk II OOB
Post by: sotoolslinger on December 16, 2011, 12:10:17 PM: Yeah it is me just me as a dumb butt. I did not bring all my stuff with me to Cali :zombie: Fear not though this is basically teaching me how the model builds up so I can bash the crap out of other ones :yarr:
And it will have custom features and a nonstandard paint job :omg-:
Title: Re: Viper Mk II OOB
Post by: sotoolslinger on December 19, 2011, 08:38:17 AM: Finally had time to do stuff. Got some primer on the vehicle and some paint on the pilot

Post by: Brian da Basher on December 20, 2011, 05:56:03 AM: Coming along nicely, Ron!

That primer seems like the perfect color for some battered old warhorse. Ever consider it as the final coat?

Title: Re: Viper Mk II OOB
Post by: sotoolslinger on December 20, 2011, 09:14:42 AM: You know me very well B :) .That is exactly what I had in mind with purple instead of red stripes :yarr:

Maybe you could take after Ron by installing your model building room in that huge H1/HMMWV you have parked in the driveway? :^)

Title: Re: Viper Mk II OOB
Post by: sotoolslinger on December 25, 2011, 01:24:45 AM: All righty then. Some PSR progress . I also found through research that I missed a couple of RCS thrusters in the upper engine cowling. ( Moebius missed them too, they don't provide decals for them) I also drilled out the gun muzzles :yarr:

Post by: tsrjoe on December 26, 2011, 10:53:22 AM: looking really good, coming along nicely too, the lil extra touches like the rcs. thrusters and engine piping definately add detail to it, looking forward to seeing it progressing ;D (aw theres no 'cool' or thumbs up smiley)

Post by: sotoolslinger on December 27, 2011, 11:30:22 AM: Hey thanks y'all. TTCAT I have actually painted armys of 25 mm mini's both for me and others but that was when I was younger. I really can't see well enough any more to really do them justice. :zombie: I need one of those big magnifying glasses or Lasic or something.
Title: Re: Viper Mk II OOB
Post by: Brian da Basher on December 27, 2011, 06:04:01 PM: That's some mighty fine detailing, Ron, especially on the engines!

This is not going to be just your average Viper, that's for sure!

Title: Re: Viper Mk II OOB
Post by: John Howling Mouse on January 03, 2012, 09:30:42 AM: Whatchutalkinbout, Willis? Why are you gonna wet-sand out those stripes? They look terrific, no? ???
Title: Re: Viper Mk II OOB
Post by: sotoolslinger on January 04, 2012, 10:26:52 AM: Please allow me to clarify :-[ I did not mean I intended to sand OFF the stripes. It is just that they came out kinda lumpy due to me not making the salt application heavy enough in spots . There are still little grains under heavy paint that don't want to just wash off and make nifty missing paint areas. A little bit o light wet sanding with a super fine stick should make every thing slick :yarr:
Title: Re: Viper Mk II OOB
Post by: Doom! on January 04, 2012, 12:29:55 PM: Just remember, when the wing becomes translucent, it's smooth enough! :D Lookin' good Ron.
Title: Re: Viper Mk II OOB
Post by: sotoolslinger on January 04, 2012, 12:58:48 PM: Boy don't I know it :-[ I find my self spending more time trying to super detail a frikken OOB build than I would spend on on of my radical kitbashes :yush: :zombie:
Title: Re: Viper Mk II OOB
Post by: finsrin on January 04, 2012, 02:19:00 PM: Pilot and interior detail is super duper over the top. Fine all around.
Thinking about a Sidewinder or AMRAAM on those empty wing tips ?
Title: Re: Viper Mk II OOB
Post by: Brian da Basher on January 05, 2012, 07:57:18 AM: Yowsa that's sharp, Ron! Love the color too. Goes very well with the base.

Title: Re: Viper Mk II OOB
Post by: sotoolslinger on January 05, 2012, 11:39:25 AM: Hey thanks y'all.
Finsrin this one will just be a basic OOB build so I can someday display it with a series of Vipers I am building. I got one back at the house that will get a freakin radical kitbashin. :yarr:
Stay tuned :omg-:

Post by: sotoolslinger on January 09, 2012, 11:25:04 AM: Folk do sometimes give me the fisheye but I often get a smile and a nod from the housekeeping staff when I go outside to spray.

Post by: Frank3k on January 17, 2012, 11:37:11 AM: Looks great, Ron - especially the cockpit/pilot. You should rephotograph it on your truck's diamond plate - without the motel in the background - It looks very BSG.
Title: Re: Viper Mk II OOB
Post by: sotoolslinger on January 18, 2012, 09:58:20 AM: Thanks y'all :-* Great idea 3K :) I will definitely get that done next day off. I still need to get some future for the canopy too.
