Martin OostromGather round people! We're witnessing the birth of another Legendary Lode Build!
9 July 2024, 06:12
Lode Schildermans AuthorMartin, if this build will be a Legendary Lode Build, it will take a miracle. Never had such a bad Trumpeter kit seen in my life. It takes tons of sanding flash and filling gaps
Spanjaard, see previous answer 😉
Gorby, welcome on board

Martin OostromAs the requester, I'm much obliged.
Again welding 2 million pieces together with the hand of the master. I am still very impressed.

Spanjaardmanufacturer of those PE could use their pictures in their catalogue.... amazing.

Spanjaardthose inks certainly make it look better.
why there are no notifications when a build that you follow gets new pictures, is something that keeps annoying me.... i missed the last pictures in January! hope there is some progress now 😉

Lode Schildermans AuthorSame problem here, Spanjaard. I receive no notifications at all, so I miss a lot of the progress all you guys make. I should find some time to upload some new pictures. there are a few

Martin OostromWhat is that weird blue thing in picture 22? 😂
Just leave a comment after uploading pictures. That'll fire notifications all around the internet

Lode Schildermans AuthorMartin, what an odd question. That blue thing in the pictures is called a brodie helmet. For the Royal Navy painted in navy blue. I thought you knew that 😉

Spanjaardlooking for my jaw under the table, after pic 27. they all look so perfect.... all 56 of them!
27 May, 13:41
Lode Schildermans AuthorSpanjaard, as a matter a fact, there are 62 from which you see only 56 😉 The other ones are already installed on turret X
27 May, 14:07
Martin OostromIt took me 17 minutes, but I did find my jaw again.
56 is impressive, 62 is 10% more impressive 😉

Lode Schildermans AuthorThx Spanjaard, Thx Martin. Both of you lost a jaw. Two of the them make jaws, LOL. More pictures will follow the next few weeks. HMS Nelson coming bit by bit to a ship

Peter HardyDamn you are good Lode! Can I get an autograph if I can visit please! Words fail to adequately describe the journey I have been privileged to watch you travel! And, I literally tripped over Martin's jaw while it was on the floor!

Lode Schildermans AuthorPeter, I only give an autograph if I receive one from the master truck builder. I thank you for your kind words, because the trek we have been setting for several years now, not just with this build, we have walked together and yours is an impressive one in my opinion. As for Martin's jaw, well Martin is a special case. With the jaw, that will be fine....

James CHavent checked in here in a long time, but certainly glad I did. Most impressive work as always Lode. Hope that your keeping well mate! 🙂👍

Tim HeimerIt's been years since I had to leave and when I left I thought you were at your peak, but looking at your progress since then I must say you still keep out doing yourself! Keep up the great work mate!

Peter HardyLode! You got older? Again? Better have a beautiful Belgian beer for me old mate!
2 July, 09:59
Lode Schildermans AuthorJames, Tim, thank you for your comments. Too many superlatives, but that is my opinion. Yeah, I try to apply more techniques, and other products
1 2 July, 13:43
Lode Schildermans AuthorMartin, Antonio, thank you, mates
Peter, I don't know how it comes, but every year around this time, father time comes to tell me that I have grown older; fortunately, he only comes once a year. As for that Belgian beer, do you have a particular preference?
2 July, 14:14
Martin OostromAs long as Father Time keeps coming and finds you in good health each year, he's welcome!

Lode Schildermans AuthorThanks Peter. Well, I recently discovered AK Interactive inks. With these inks, you can add more nuance in thin layers with the airbrush. See also the photos of the keel. For the boats, the inks reproduce better the warm colour of mahogany . And I gave the hull of the boats a more realistic look with Green stuff, which led to this result

Peter HardyWell it is, as we say here, "Gobsmacking "! You can be proud of each of them!

Matti ThomaesAnd in the end all the sanding of flash, filling gaps and fiddling with PE payed of. Again a wonderfull result, seen it in Putte. Congratulations with the Gold medal
