Bugsy is at it again. Just admire your work!

Thx mates! Here soldering is ideal to speed up the build. Parts fixed immediately and connections can be corrected. I'm not sure, which green matches the prime portal pictures: Gunze H16 ?

Hi Bughunter, no "How to" by you for soldering Etched Parts -No colour advice 🙂

Fantastic PE work there mate, as always...

Daniel, nice try 😉 You will need tin solder, a flux agent and heat with a soldering iron (copper tip prefered). Thx Urban, "as always" 🤔 I will try my best!

Now this is some clean build style 😄 Just top notch!

Thanks Frank... I will give it a go in the nearby future..

Everytime I see one of bughunter's builds I have to go lie down and reevaluate my life...

@Greg: I have my exhibition table right next to bughunter at the Modell Exhibition in Siegen.
Bitter sweet experience everty time... I can tell you 🙂

Nice, really nice...

Wow, after such amount of great feedback and interest (Thanks mates!) I added descriptions to the pictures. Lets see, if I can take additional detail shots.

Added some detail pictures of the PE frame and the green paint.

Looks amazing! Is this the gunze h26?
 10 May 2018, 20:58
bughunter Auteur
Thanks Daniel, I mixed H26 with H6 50:50. H26 alone was too bright in my eyes 🙂

Bughunter you are crazy... 🙂

that base is starting to look really interesting. excellent job on those letters!

Thx, the intention was to replicate the original display. Klick on the GBU kit and you will find a walkaround on primeportal.net.

Cool! 😎

Martin Oostrom
I say intention was fulfilled!

Great base Frank. I squandered an opportunity to visit the AF ordnance museum this Spring while visiting Florida. It was either it or the Naval museum in Pensacola, and I went with that (I was with my spouse, so did not want to push my luck 😄).
 3 June 2018, 11:38
Spanjaard
intention fullfilled indeed.... you only miss the light on top of the "F" 😉
 4 June 2018, 06:49
Bart Goesaert
Looks good, did you drill holes for the 0.4mm brackets? or did you glue these in place?
 4 June 2018, 08:24
bughunter Auteur
Spanjaard, are you sure about the light? I thought it is a nesting aid for birds 🙂
Bart, I drilled 16 holes and put the brackets in, so it is much more robust. But such task is much easier prior mounting 😉
 4 June 2018, 18:51
Spanjaard
ha ha ha, of course anything is possible.... the question is.... will you reproduce it? 😄 😄 😄 LOL
 4 June 2018, 20:29
bughunter Auteur
Not sure yet, tend to not, but will wait for the final impression.
 4 June 2018, 20:45
bughunter Auteur
Uploaded pictures of the finished platform, some details are also prepared.
 8 June 2018, 21:08
bughunter Auteur
Added new pictures of the rigging, the dio is nearly finished. Only the figure is missing.
 10 June 2018, 18:05
Spanjaard
those fasteners really look horrible 😛 i will take note of that, maybe i can duplicate them when i need something similar.... excellent!
what did you use for the belt?
 10 June 2018, 18:10
bughunter Auteur
See picture 45 - this is the remaining fabric of HGW seat belts. I can't drop such material to the bin 🙂
 10 June 2018, 20:09
Spanjaard
of course, i forgot about that. thanks bughunter.
 10 June 2018, 20:10
Daniel Klink
Great Result so far Frank! An great idea with the facility manager taking care about the grass 🙂
 13 June 2018, 15:00
Spanjaard
it will certainly give it a nice touch
 13 June 2018, 17:14
bughunter Auteur
Thx mates! I added pictures with a new detail 🙂
 13 June 2018, 17:29
Bart Goesaert
and that puts it certainly into perspective... one bigass motherf***er of a bomb... nice sculpt to of the figure
 13 June 2018, 20:40
Spanjaard
Mother Off All Bombs?
 13 June 2018, 22:32
Spanjaard
and i thought it was my idea 😛 probably i read about it and forgot about it 😄 😄

Urban Gardini
Look at this photo and you'll see that the base plate for the information plaque is overscale. I hope that you haven't glued it in place yet.

MOAB stands for "Massive Ordnance Air Blast" 😎

bughunter Auteur
Urban, thanks for the hint! The presentation in this museum changed multiple times. I have pictures of three different plaques.
This matches more mine, for more pictures see the walkaround in SM linked in the kit page.

It is may be still overscale, but not much.

I added a new album, so don't miss the chance to see the finished diorama: "Daisy cutter" - GBU-43/B in Air Force Armament Museum Eglin | Album by bughunter (1:48)

Spanjaard
i knew you will add the light! 🙂 excellent result!
 22 June 2018, 06:50
Spanjaard
you even added a few pieces of grass around. that is attention to detail 🙂
 22 June 2018, 06:51
Björn Svedberg
Great attention to detail! 👍 I really like the lawnmower man, and the grass cut lying on the concrete base. 🙂
 22 June 2018, 07:30
Alexander Grivonev
Amazing 👍

Thx mates! Due to a posting of a friend there was an idea, I added some flowers and the title is now "Daisy cutter"! The double meaning tells the story 🙂 Thanks for visiting and commenting!
