Brad Shinn Continental B-777-200

Brad · 04-24-2008, 12:49 PM

Here are some pics of a Hasegawa build of a B-777 in Continental. Still a lot to go but I thought I share the WIP.

Thanks,
Brad

RT404 · 04-24-2008, 01:23 PM

Wow the flaps look very good!! Can't wait to see this B777 in landing configuration~

DLmd11 · 04-24-2008, 01:26 PM

Haven't seen anything from you in a while. Was wondering what you have been up to.

Now we know.

Good start - don't forget the intake lip on your engine.

Look forward to the completed project.

B-16707 · 04-24-2008, 01:28 PM

can i come over to your house and do a 1 week mentorship?

Looks AWESOME as always Brad!!

What color gray do you use for Conti? I did a 735 with winglets, but the gray isn't spot on, you seemed to have nailed it!

Mike777 · 04-24-2008, 05:47 PM

Looking good Brad.

Bill-ay · 04-24-2008, 05:48 PM

Pure Greatness! What color grey is that on those lovely engines?

Yeah, the flaps does look really good.
I just like the underwing-details such as the neat flaps-fairings.

Btw RT404, please check your PM regarding a tagged model for sale. TY.

Brad · 04-24-2008, 09:41 PM

Thanks Guys!!

I use a Tamiya AS-16 Grey. Then buff when dry. Seems to work fine. The hot section of the engine is Bare-Metal Foil.

bennz · 04-24-2008, 11:35 PM

Welcome back to business Brad , been waiting for long time to see your masterpieces again !

Can't wait to see the finished version

Awesome job !

Brad · 04-25-2008, 05:26 AM

Ahhh, the secret must be in the buffing! I thought I read somewhere you used that color, it just seemed to be a different shade to me. Will def remember to try that on the next bird!

Thanks Brad

Phantom · 04-25-2008, 07:42 AM

Can't wait to see the finished model. Looks great so far.

Just one question Brad, how do you treat the engine intakes? I mean the crude intake duct with the ugly step just front of the fan. I read a few how-to's but none seemed to work fine with me. I even started to make modified resin copies of their engines, but this was quite time consuming so that I stopped.
I'm sure you have a good method to make these intakes to look good.
As much as I love Hasegawa's 200 line, their intake design potentially kills my motivation...

Horizon CRJ700 · 04-26-2008, 02:03 AM

Wow beautiful

Brad · 04-26-2008, 12:55 PM

[QUOTE=RT404;581152]The engine looks superb with the GE logo. Will you add even more detail to the engine?

Hi Thanks,

Yea, more engine detail maybe some weathering to the reverse sleaves and decals..

Yes, Hasagawa's intakes are a mess....One way to fix them is to make inserts from styrene that fit the intakes.

Thanks again,
Brad

Brad · 04-27-2008, 10:41 PM

Some more starboard wing.......

Thanks,
Brad

Mike777 · 04-28-2008, 01:56 PM

That wing looks great Brad! Keep the pics coming.

DLmd11 · 04-29-2008, 01:51 PM

Hey Brad, the inside of that DL MD-11 engine looks great.

You are saying that was done with styrene? Don't know how but it looks great!

Brad · 05-02-2008, 02:53 AM

Little weathering.

Thanks,
Brad

Mike777 · 05-02-2008, 07:42 PM

The weathering looks so real!

Any progress on the fuselage?

carlo905 · 05-03-2008, 12:46 AM

you did an awesome job

!!!!!

Brad · 05-04-2008, 01:32 AM

Thanks carlo very much!!

V1UHOH · 05-04-2008, 10:54 AM

So will this be a hand painted Peter Max?

RT404 · 05-04-2008, 05:02 PM

It sounds scary to hand paint the Peter Max livery!!

Brad · 05-04-2008, 06:57 PM

!!!!

Hmmm.....Na,

Brad

Rex · 05-04-2008, 07:31 PM

Looks very promising, Sir Shinn.

I echo the comments about the weathered wing. That is just impressive.
Details at its best.

mjabbasi · 05-05-2008, 02:12 PM

OMG, this is unbelievable. So realistic. You must have really put your all into it. More power to you. Just don't end up selling the model please!!

Chris G · 05-05-2008, 05:24 PM

I'll take some more pics of her as soon as the weather clears.

Best Regards,

Mike777 · 05-15-2008, 02:44 PM

DAGGOM Brad! It looks like you went to Lee Rd. near IAH and snapped these guys arriving on runway 27! In fact, I think you did. NO WAY this is a model... hahaha.

BTW, check your email, it's urgent!

Brad · 05-15-2008, 03:18 PM

Thanks Mike!!!

Will do,

Brad

B-16707 · 05-15-2008, 04:14 PM

JETJHD · 05-15-2008, 04:18 PM

Looks great Brad! CO has or had silver underbellies on all of their aircraft except for the A-300 as far as I know.

EWR came to mind, but I thought the same thing at first! MY GOD!! This is just awesome work Brad. You've got to be the most skilled modeler I've ever encountered.

Brad · 05-15-2008, 04:25 PM

Thank You very much for all the kind replies!!!

B-16707 · 05-15-2008, 04:45 PM

Just keep looking at reference pics for your builds. Also, have fun and don't worry about what else is being built.

Thanks again for your great support!

Brad

Mike, is Houston the larger hub? Or your house

Excellent CO 777! Stunning!

I hope someday I can buil as good as you.

Brad · 05-16-2008, 01:14 PM

Thanks so much KHH for your reply. I'm sure by the looks of your 747 build your doing great.

DLmd11 · 05-16-2008, 02:11 PM

'oly sheet mon, that is beautifully done.

It looks like the real thing coming in for a landing.

Did you spring load the main gear or weigh down the rear part of the bogies?

Never disappointed in your modeling techniques and always looking forward to your next project.

Keep them coming Brad.

Brad · 05-16-2008, 03:35 PM

Thanks DLmd11.! I made from scratch extended gear post and cut them at a angle for the gear trays.

Thanks,

Brad

1:200Freak · 05-16-2008, 03:52 PM

OMG...You are definitely more than talented!! I almost thought those pics taken outside were real....Just like the real thing!

Brad · 05-16-2008, 04:52 PM

Thank You Very Much!!!!!
