      I was with the 384th for almost their entire run on the B-1 (87 to 94), but retired before the deactivation. I was under the impression that the 184th just took over most or all of our aircraft. Was 064 really one of yours?

    Late 90s when I came home from the USAF (F-16 crew chief), a friend of mine gave me this kit. The thing is, he had tried putting it together and it was fully built, but for some reason he had filled in the gear wells and weapons bays with chunks of balsas wood he glued in. He still had all of the gear parts and cruise missiles. So he gave me all of that stuff and I spent days cleaning that all out and rebuilding the model. Had to scratch build some gear doors and bomb doors. I re-scribed the panel lines, rebuilt the cockpit, and repainted it. Never got any decals for it, but it still turned out ok. Would love to have this kit again and build it up myself.

    I had this kit (actually, several over the years). Several months past, whilst in hospital for a fortnight, my doctor had arranged for me to move to better quarters. I understand a staff-member of a state agency ostensibly “looking after my interests” had told the staff of my residence that I had authorised them to throw away ALL MY POSSESSIONS, including that bomber kit yet in the box, as well as all the others I had built and detailed.
    So I take my delight in watching you build yours. Thank you. Brett, I tell you this so that you can understand the depth of my appreciation for you here.

      @@HammerheadModelMaking Your shows remind me of watching, the artist, Bob Ross. I don’t know if you’re old enough to have watched him, but he had quite a following on TV. He started with a blank canvas and then painted these amazing pictures. I would think the painting is finished, that nothing more could be added. Then he would say that maybe it needs a bush here, or a few more clouds there. I’d think, “No, don’t do it. It’s finished as it is.” I was always wrong. Somehow, he’d add so much more so that in the end I realized how well he understood art.
      I do the same thing with you. For example, when you started adding the two-part epoxy on the engine nacelles, or re-shaped the clear parts over the cockpit, I thought it would never work, but your improvement made it all look so much better. You have an excellent eye for the artistic and it’s always fun to watch experts work their magic.

    Great build. I'm a former Bone driver and I built this kit, as is, back in the 90's when I was stationed at Dyess AFB. I wish I knew how to properly build a nice model when I did. It was so big I had to leave it in the squadron when I changed stations. I have few comments about the build. First, you would never see the B-1 with the gear down and the wings swept aft, they would be at the full forward 15 or 20 degree position on the ground. Second, the B-1 doesn't have a full shoulder harness on the ejection seat, crew wore a harness that clipped into the seat above the shoulders. Finally, I wish you picked an active duty squadron that still flies the B-1B instead of the 184 BW that lost the B-1B in 2001.

    • @HammerheadModelMaking
      @HammerheadModelMaking  16 дней назад +1

      I always appreciate a 1st person perspective on a subject, so thank you for your feedback! If I may address a few of your points: I am aware that the wings fully swept back is not normal for a parked B-1, however, in order to get this to fit in my display case, this was the only way to make it work (like you said, its a big kit and it only fits by less than a 1/4 inch!) Thats good to know about the harnesses! I will file that away for the next time! As for the markings option, it was all about that shark mouth on the intake splitter, I was really drawn to that. However, I do have another one of this in my stash and I plan on building it was one of the aircraft my brother worked on during his time at Elsworth. I was ordinance. So, for the next one I plan on going whole hog on it, detailed bomb bays, extended wings possible with dropped flaps, open and detailed cockpit, the whole works so that will largely correct the points you brought up!

I’ve never been within spitting distance of one of these monsters but to my eye your model looks great especially considering what you had to work with. Brittle decals are one of my pet peeves and in your place I’d have trashed that refueling port decal the instant it broke and just painted it. You either have far more patience than I or just wanted the torture to be over.
      In any case it’s done and looks to have been worth the effort.

    I enjoyed this video! Long, but very educational. I'm pretty apprehensive trying new things but when I saw you using the 5 minute epoxy putty I thought I could try that on applying resin zimmerit to my armor models that allows me to adjust them so that was an inspiration. Also, I have a Revell 1/32 Hawker Hunter and that's a fair size kit in itself that i felt like working on after watching you build this beast. Eduard has re-boxed this kit with the photo-etch goodies (I think it also includes masks) and that'd be interesting to see but I feel something of this size once is good enough.

      I totally get it, I was apprehensive about a lot of things when building models, even up to a few years ago that kept me from improving my skills, but once I finally started to just push myself and try new things, I've found my skills have been improving quite rapidly! Good luck with your Hunter, sounds like a nice kit!

    ⁠​​⁠I have watched this video with intrigue, appreciation & admiration; firstly for the awesome build presentation. Secondly for the way that you have presented it. Almost all the build videos go through the process of creating the best or perfect model; without mishaps or errors. It’s refreshing to see a creator being transparent & revealing the imperfections within perfection. Well done & keep it going! I will be sharing this video a lot with local hobby groups & clubs so that the best also make mistakes!
    I’m currently busy with a step-by-step video build where, from the first upload, I’ve demonstrated the build process with errors & mishaps included. I don’t get a lot of views, likes & comments; maybe because people don’t want to see errors, but I’ll continue with my approach to presentation & creating.
    Looking forward to your next!

      I appreciate the kind words, and yes, I'm trying to be more transparent when it comes to mistakes and how to overcome them. I'm pretty much always making mistakes on every kit I build and I suppose its better to learn from my mistakes if you can! Thanks for watching!

    I can relate to shelving it til ready 😊. I So Get It! I am constantly impressed with the results of building my models. I attribute this to, yes maturation in life but also appreciation of the things that we neglected as children. I used to “chuck” the small decals, especially “no step” 😂. Today, I take pride in placing each and every decal! I also enjoy using My airbrush, vs the old days with “Testors” and a single brush and 1/8bottle of thinner for everything 😂. All of that to go outside play with it, break it and the inevitable “fire death” 🔥lol😂. Yes, my Modeling has come a long, long way. Thank you for the vid.

    Just finished watching the part about the clear plastic. A job well done. You can also try this tricks:
    Get up to 3000 grit or so wet sand and start using a car headlight defogger with a Q-tip or a microfiber towel (just a folded edge for this small part is enough) . Personally i use a cheap type (both for the car headlights and models). Arexons Fairings Renewer if I remember correctly. A small dab will suffice.
    Another (better) option is Tamiya's clear polishing compounds. To get the best shine however you really ought to use all three (coarse, fine and finish) They are pricey though.
    Another cheap trick is to use nail files - buffing sticks (borrowed of course from the Mrs). They work wonders.
    Cant wait to see the rest of the vid. Thanks for posting.
