Hello companions,
After a few months I retake this thread, but I am not going to make a balance of the construction of the Willys that I will still leave up to in a time but to show you what happens when a paper model is painted. Very well painted.
The truth is that when Piter at the Gdansk Meeting proposed to me to paint the Willys it gave much fear to me. As you can be imagine, to put a brush on to the Willys, after the months of sweats that cost to me, was not something that I enjoyed a lot. But it could plus the confidence that Piter inspired to me. To see the works that Piter has done with his models as of paper or of plastic. So I said yes to him. And next I show to you the result of his works with the brush.
More than to write I, hope that the photographies that I show to you following are enough to justify that I have brought an aerograph and I am thinking very seriously to begin to paint the models me too.
So here we go. In Photo 390 you can see the aspect of the Willys that all you know, on the table of the workshop before Piter did the intervention to him.

In Photos 391 and 392 you can see Piter in two moments of the work.

And finally in Photos 393 to 398 you can see the final result. The best is that at the Meeting Piter also presented/displayed a Willys but of plastic. So you can compare how they look one next to the other, the plastic and the paper one.

Finally, Piter requested me to invite to you to participate in the Forum 1:25 that he coordinates. It is a Forum dedicated exclusively to military scale vehicles in 1:25, as its name indicates, as much in paper as in plastic. You can visit the 1:25 Forum here.
For registration, you must send a message to him, because to avoid Spam, it has to register to you by hand. The Forum is in English, besides in Polish and German.
Greetings to all.

Hello companions,
Here I am finishing to the big piece of the back. If nobody says anything against, I am going to call it radiator.
Now I am going with the details of the building. In Photo 39 you can see the different pieces that compose the radiator, the exhaust pipes and the hook of tow before cutting them. In Photo 40 all the pieces that compose the radiator. You observe that the piece in the form of L has an impression failure. I painted it a little with a marker.

In Photo 41 I am sticking one of the pieces in the form of L to the body of the radiator. As always I come step by step. In Photo 42 I begin to stick the piece across. And in the Photo 043 both pieces are already stuck.

In Photo 44 you can see how it was the radiator at that stage. It lacked three parts to be finished. In Photo 45 the inner plating is sticking. And in Photo 46 the grid is sticking.

In Photo 47 the finished radiator. You can see its location in the Sherman, it goes in the place marked as 22b. In Photo 48 I am sticking the radiator to its location in the Sherman. And in Photo 49 you can see the Sherman with the radiator stuck in its place.

Well, that is everything at the moment. I am going to take seven days holiday, so for some days I will not posts any more progression on the Sherman.
See you later.

Hello Companions,
Well, I am here with another update on the Sherman. I have finished the pieces that I think are the exhaust pipes. Please tell me if I am wrong.
In Photo 32 I show to you the parts that compose these pieces. The one on the left, cut and the one on the right, with some manipulations to give it form.
032. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/1648C7C0C03048837CAE2E488379F7.jpg]
In Photo 33 I begin the process of assembly of one of the pieces. Although it is not apparent (you will see it better in Photo 36) I have stuck a small cardboard rectangle to give body to the union, because it is edge against edge. The one that I have been able to stick edge against edge without problems in the piece on the right, that appears on the great head of a needle. In Photo 34 you can see how, on the left, the squared piece is sticking, in center I am sticking discs of cardboard and their ring and on the right, the piece that simulates the exhaust. Here is sticking the part that has double curvature. And in Photo 35 one of the pieces already finished.
033. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/1848C7C0C23348837CB130488379F9.jpg] 034. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/1948C7C0C32C48837CB331488379FA.jpg] 035. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/1A48C7C0C42E48837CB532488379FB.jpg]
And next I show to you the elaboration of the other piece, this time with greater aproximation. As I commented to you, in the part on the left of Photo 36, you can see the cardboard piece that I have stuck to the piece 27c to facilitate the union. In the while, I am sticking the edge of the piece and the discs and the ring of the piece on the right. In Photo 37 I am finishing sticking the piece on the left, I am sticking discs to its support and the squared piece on the right is almost finished. Finally, in Photo 38 you can see the two finished pieces.

Hello companions,
I have covered the Sherman. But I have gone so quickly that it has not given me time to take more photos. I have begun by the bottom skin and once this one was dry, I have stuck the top skin, soon the laterals and finally the front.
So without more talk, I show you the photos. In the Photo 27 you can see the frame with the edges painted on green using an acrylic paint from Vallejo. And in the sequence of Photos from the 28 to the 31 I show you the present state of my Sherman.

Hello companions,
Now the structure is already finished.
In Photo 019 you can see how I am sticking the K15 piece using the plastic clamp. In the while I am testing the fitting of the pieces K16 and K17.

In Photo 022 I am sticking the piece K19L that is the left lateral cover and in Photo 023 I am doing the same with the right cover. In Photo 024 I am sticking the top cover of the engine and

the structure of the Sherman is finished as you can see in Photos 025 and 026. I have tested the fitting of the skin in the structure and it seems that I am not going to have any problem, it fits perfectly. I will see if it is truth when I glue it.

Ah, thanks to all by the support that you have offered to me during these long months, that have been much and very good. And as I said to you, I dedicate this model to my mother, she did not know anything of Internet, but I would have taught it and certainly it would have liked very much.
Well, that is everything until the moment. You will already say to me what it seems to you.

I like very much your love for detail. Each of your pieces is a model by itself. =D>

Hello companions,
Royaloakmin, thank you for your nice words, they really help me. I am waiting to see your Panhard 178. Have already build it, or are you going to show us your build process? In any case, I will be following your thread with great interest.
This moves, moves, and moves
Now it was the turn of the windshield and a lot of small pieces. It already lacks less for D-day, H-hour.
With the enthusiasm of the end, I forgot to take some photos of the process, but you understand me, correct? It is that I want to finish quickly.
In Photo 359 you can see that I have already stuck the two plasters in form of Ls that serve to unite the windshield to the body. These pieces have 1 millimeter of width and two cardboards of 0.2 of depth, that is that I was not sure that they went to support the movement up and down of the windshield, so I submerged them in cianocrilate and they have really stayed as of steel (good, it is joke, like of plastic). But they hold perfectly.
359. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/1D488C82F81D48483E722348483C2F.jpg]
And in Photos 360, 361, 362 and 363 you can see the aspect of the Willys with the mounted windshield. It begins to have good aspect, truth? Good to be sincere, there is a white line in the windshield that I have seen in the photos. In fact it is not appraised, because I had not seen it until I watched the photos. So please dont be too cruel, anyone can have a failure. But I promise to you that in the real model, you cant realize it.

It already lacks very, very little. Be tuned because next move will be the end.

I like your build very much. It is a good guide when I begin my own model.
Thank you.

Hello to all,
Today I have mounted the hood of the engine. Now the last difficult operation that I have left, is to fix the windshield to its place.
In Photo 353, you can see the two pieces that form the hood of the engine, either cut and in Photo 354 I have stuck the two pieces and I have curved the lateral ones. Before sticking the two pieces, I give form to them with a small stick separately and to rub them against the fingers, soon I put stick glue in a piece and the other, and later, before the glue is dried, I tighten them between the small stick and the fingers until they maintain the form. It seems not true, but the two pieces, once the glue has been dried, are very solid and the curved form is not lost.

In Photo 355 you can see how I am sticking the seven pieces that will form the hinges and in the 356 Photo the device that I improvised to stick the four hinges that go united to the hood. By design they have to be glued against the edge of the paper, that is that I saw and wishes me to obtain that they were glued well with so little faying surface, but in the end I obtained, it.

And in Photo 357 you can see the result; I took this photo while the three hinges that go fixed to the body were sticking. And in 358 Photo the opening of the hood allows to see the engine. As you can see, the hood is able to open and close; what a wonder! Mainly because it can be seen the amount of work that is there in the engine.

Good, that is everything at the moment.
Greetings to all and until soon.

The dry pocket tip is a very good one, John. I think I am going to use it not only for buildings but also when I find a long flap. I will tell you about my results. :yahoo:
Thank you for sharing. Your building is looking fantastic. =D>

Hello companions,
And now, here I am with another small advance in the Jeep.
This time it was the turn of the gas tank and to the windshield. I am going to enter in matter without more introductions. In Photo 341 you can see the different pieces that compose the tank already cut. And in Photo 342 I have stuck the inner wall of the deposit and the cover.
341. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2048831AD924483ED63C1D483ED410.jpg] 342. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2248831ADB1E483ED63F1F483ED412.jpg]
In Photo 343 you can see how I have stuck a flap, because by design one assumes that I had to stick the paper edge against edge. This seemed excessive to me so I improvised this flap and another one for the cover of the base of the tank. Photo 344 shows to you how I held the tank while the flap stuck.
343. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2348831ADC20483ED64120483ED413.jpg] 344. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2548831ADE23483ED64422483ED415.jpg]
In Photo 345 the tank is already closed and I show you the flap that I commented previously. And in 346 Photo the finished tank.

Finally in Photo 347 it appears the tank finished with the strip and the base that will hold it to the Willys and in Photo 348 the deposit with the strip and the support already stuck.

Later it was the turn to the windshield. In Photo 349 the pieces that compose it before cutting them and in Photo 350 all the pieces already cut and with the edges painted ready for its assembly.

In Photo 351 I have already stuck the front and back of the frame of the windshield and use a sheet of paper to maintain them separated while they stick. Over the frame you can see the acetate that will simulate the crystal already cut to its size.
351. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2948831B4E25483ED6BB26483ED485.jpg]
And in Photo the 352 the finished windshield. The most difficult task has been to cut the windshield wipers, because like you can see they are two pieces that in the part of the rubber to clean do not have half a millimeter of width. In this case I did them without rule, by hand and very, very slowly.

Well, that is everything so far.

Hello companions,
And now, here I am with new advances on the Willys. Yes, yes, I know that I promised you it would be faster, but other obligations have prevented me to progress suitably with the Willys.
But go with it. In Photo 330 you can see the different pieces that compose one of the front seats. It gave me the impression that only two strips of paper were not going to hold well the seats, so I print the page in which they are these pieces, from the backup that I keep. From that copy I cut one third strip, is the one that is in the middle of the other two in the photography.
330. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2B487C0EF41B4837CA4C1F4837C82B.jpg]
In Photo 331 I have already cut the strips that will form the frame of the seat and begin to stick the covers of the seat and the endorsement. As always, step by step, beginning from the back part. The base and the endorsement of the seats are constituted by three pieces stuck one on another one. In the photo you can see also that I have sandpapered the edges of the base and the endorsement.
331. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2D487C0EF61E4837CA4F214837C82D.jpg]
In Photo 332 I show you how I stick the strips of 1 mm that form the frame and the support of the seat. I begin by an end and, as soon as the glue is dry, I am sticking another part not very long and thus, until sticking one strip to the other. With the third one I did it in the same form.
332. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2E487C0EF7204837CA51224837C82E.jpg]
In Photo 333 you can see the three strips already stuck one to the other. Also I have finished sticking the covers of the seat and the endorsement and I have trimmed the back reinforcement of the endorsement. You observe that I stick the frame giving it a circular form. This is so that when I stick it to the endorsement, the strips already have taken the round form that will be to have once beaten to this one. As you can see in the Photo 334, in which I have stuck the frame to the superior part of the seat and I am doubling the frame by the edge of the endorsement. In Photo 335 I am sticking the laterals of the frame. And in Photos 336 and 337 I already have stuck the base and the seat is finished. With this one and the third seat, I did not have any problem. The pieces fitted to first.

Finally in Photos 338, 339 and 340, I show to you three views of the same procedure with the other seat. To show you another vision of the previous procedure.

Well, that is everything at the moment. Now I no longer promise nothing, because the next week I am going to have a lot of not hobby work. But I will try to advance in the Willys and to post fastest than I can.
Greetings to all and until soon.

Hello companions,
Today it has been the turn of the back seat. Indeed, as I have no idea of by where begin, I have thought that if it left bad, probably it was going to be less noticed the back seat, that one of the forwards. So, with many doubts, I have confronted this task.
I say doubts, because as it often happens to me, after sticking the pieces on cardboard, trimming them and painting the edges, still I do not have any idea of which is the work order. It is that the instructions in Pole are a torture, because you know that there is explained everything but you do not understand anything.
Well, then with these doubts, I confronted the construction of the back seat and naturally it went bad. Luckily it was nothing almost burdens, because the glue still was not dry, but almost... Now with the story.
In Photo 321 you can see, as always, the pieces before trimming them. And in Photo 322 the trimmed pieces. I have already stuck the cover of the base and the back of the seat as always, going step by step. For that reason I have begun sticking the back part. In Photo 323 I already have stuck all the cover of the base and the back of the seat and I am proceeding with the same form with the endorsement. And in Photo 324 already the base and the endorsement are stuck.

In Photo 325 I have joint the three pieces of paper that form the support of the endorsement and I am coming, step by step, to stick it around the base of the seat, beginning by the center. Serious mistake! Because in Photo 327 I realized that when the strip arrived at the center, the endorsement of the seat was twist, more rised of a side than of the other.

So I took it off, luckily it dont suffered collateral damage. And in Photo 328 it is seen how I returned to stick it, this time, beginning from the center.
328. [Blocked Image: http://fotos.miarroba.com/thumb/2048749C121A483057621448305549.jpg]
Soon I fitted the endorsement, centering it in the superior part of the paper strip. The result was optimal, as you can see in Photo 329, with the finished seat.

Good, now to by the front seats that, I hope, will be to me easier thanks to the acquired experience today.
Until in a moment with more news of the Willys.
