Baby Bricker's Room

Been busy painting and decorating the kid's room. Only 2 more months.

From the Workbench

This weekend was busy, so I only got an hour or two in. This is some shots of the photo etch interior to the P-40N cockpit.

I was also able to get some airbrushing in of the O-2 Interior and F-6A propellers. I redid the panel line weathering to a darker gray using the same brand as mentioned in the last post. I think this works better and now all I have to do is work on the under carriage, finish up the canopy and use the weathering and chipping techniques I have been reading about in Applied Modeling Aircraft. Hope you enjoy the photos.

My Workshop / Man Room

Here are some photos of my studio. This is where I get to escape when I get a chance.



I found this display case online from a salon. It works great since my studio is in a loft. This helps keep the open air feeling to the room.

This is part of my library.


This is my spray booth and work area. It is kind of messy right now. I try to clean it all up before each project.

Welcome to Bricker's Workshop

This is my first post of hopefully many. I am going to use this blog to track my current Model builds, tips and tricks I have learned and other aviation based information I come across.

Current Builds:
F-6A 1/48 - Classic Airframes - USAAF 1943
I have applied the Pro Modellers "Light" wash. You can find it at http://www.promodeller.com I would highly recommend this product and it is so easy to use.

F-6A 1/48- Classic Airframes - RAF 1943 40% finished
F-6A 1/48- Classic Airframes - White and Black Splinter 1944 - 40% Finished
P-40M 1/48 - Eduard/Muave - China 1944 - 10% Finished
O-2A 1/48 Hawk/Testors - South Vietnam - 15% Finished
I have drilled out the top windows and the Starboard windows from the kit. They come as black decals and do not look realistic at all.
