Pedro Fernandes Posted October 7, 2010 Author Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) I wish you a great start! Thanks Chaoslord Well just testing the parts Propeller Wings and "tail" More tomorrow Edited October 7, 2010 by Pedro Fernandes
Pedro Fernandes Posted October 8, 2010 Author Posted October 8, 2010 This is not an easy model and im not at ease with this scale .. but ... oh well!!! Some more potos!!! hope you enjoy!! Interior Hope to close it tomorrow... and start puttying and sanding
The Velociweiler Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 It's not that easy a model, but it has its rewards. Be careful when the Prop is finished. The stems are quite thin and fragile - if you knock them they're surprisingly easy to break on this particular model.

Richard Kiss (KP Models) Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 hi Pedro, I'm one of the owner of KP Models. So nice to see our model kit on workbench and follow this building. Do you plan to build ladder? Anyway keep up the good work!
Pedro Fernandes Posted October 15, 2010 Author Posted October 15, 2010 Hi Richard.... WOW!!!! Great Pogo you have there!!! About the ladder well its possible i might make one Its really nice to ear from the manufacturer!!! ill try to do my best !!! BTW ill send you a mail later on to talk about another project!!!
Pedro Fernandes Posted December 10, 2010 Author Posted December 10, 2010 Wooops.... Not having time to do much of this pogo!! And a small problem using the silver!!! but here it goes: First time i used the vallejo 790 siver! (did use alcoohol... got a white-blured effect, not gonna use it again!!just use without thinning) First let me just paint some panels with other colors to see the effect of the reflects after! Now some silver... (not thinned) Some of them have the effect that i whanted but in the overall not what i expected ... well ...Have to polish it tomorrow and see what i can do!!! Cya!!
