My wife recently asked me what takes me so long to complete a model. All I could answer was with this:



I just love building/making details!

Yeah, I know, perhaps I'm showing off. In due time I will have lots of completed models as they continue down my assembly line. I like to work on several at a time.

Kencelot, that is beautiful work. I wish I had the patience to super detail like that, but I dont so I just get to droll over all of you that do. Excellent , excellent work. Cheers Kevin

This lookas awesome....

I am still getting into the process of getting to grips with the Aber clamps and clasps.... I already broke the first handle... I have some spares, but one of the next things to order is a clamps and clasps set...

My Wespe is a good practice project for that one... damn... I fear the visionblocks for the Sd.Kfz 251 actually.

wow thats looks great.
i will try super detailing some day.
but it takes me a few weeks to build a kit like 5 or 6 weeks i been working on my sherman.
and my lvt-1 a also

I know the feeling. The detail on the hatch was good overall, but I wanted to go excentric. The springs are like 26/28 gauge wire wrapped around a slightly larger gauge wire; there are about 20-30 wraps on each (it takes longer to count them than it did to make 'em). Took about an hour to make both. Oh, this is the loader's hatch on an M4A3 (105).

jeez i wish i had the patience to get that detailed...dont forget the serial number on that hatch haha :-)

What you make is seriously great your truly modelers i envy you. Actualy you make it bloody difficult to get as good as this ........... one day :-) :-)

Incredible detail. I love the spring !! Wow man that´s great detail job.
It´s not only a matter of time, you need to have the skills to do that kind of work.
Congratulations.

I like this a lot!

very nice detailing maybe one day u could write an article about that....

When I'm planning a dio every time it seems to end so quickly. But it doesn't happens. When building it apears other ideas for more details. Just add that, just change that. This is the very enjoyable part of building these dios. But till now I didn't see the details made so "detailed" like yours Kencelot. Congrats

It's nice to know that I'm not the only poor sick Son of a gun out there! Nice wrok, detailing the the greatest part of modeling.

Here, here. I agree. The most enjoyable part of model-building is super-detailing. The appearance of an unpainted project is just as satisfying as when finished as the model demonstrates the dissimilar materials and methods used. This is a Tiger 1 starter attachment.

Wow !! Some excellent work out there ..but ain't that the fun of it ..Just adding that little something more ...Okay so what if we build 2 kits a years ..with all we spend on aftermarket stuff you have to make the pleasure last... :-) One of my favorite projects was my Pershing ..But I finished that one !!


All the best

Nice work to everyone!....This makes me want to develop the patience to do this detail on a model.

MY wife knows better than to ask such a question. The answer in most cases is her honey do list. "honey, can you put up the new ceiling, can you put down the new floor, can you build be a shed for my workshop, can you etc, etc, etc. Also there are the kids. "Daddy, can you take me driving so I can get my license?" "Daddy, can you drive me over to my friends?" "Daddy, I need some paper for my school project that is due tomorrow morning."

Honestly, after doing all these honey dos and Daddy dos some times, most times, I just want to vegge out in front of the tube or with a book. I so look forward to fall when honey do season is less.

Great detail work you do there. I can only dream about some day having the time to do such work.

I agree. Sanding and cleaning up the parts is the most time consuming for me.

One day, il have grand kids, and kids, and a wife, and il be sitting on the balcony and all day il be sitting doing models...and THEN! il start putting so much time in super detailing, right now il stick to building and painting
