The Hodaka Club Forum

I just pulled this from a modeling site that I frequent. Too funny not to share.

So, that's what the guys that wrote the Hodaka manuals did before they were hired by Hodaka!!! Explains a lot.

Looks easy here in the manual!

Max,

That pic reminds me of the manuals I read for repairs to rock crushing equipment showing the guys doing the work in white lab coats in a nice clean shop.The reality of us doing the work is much closer to your photo!

What model are you working on? I decided to try my hand at it again after about a fifty year break.I only work now and then on them so build progress is very slow and nothing like the talent that I see in Fine Scale Modeler!

Here are two that I have finished over the last year and one in progress.I will attempt weathering techniques on this one.

AllrIght! Go to finescale.com/forums and I'm still Hodakamax. Great minds think alike! My whole collection is on there If you dig around enough. Working on a 1/48 A-37 Dragonfly and it's dragging out forever. There's a WIP post on it. Sign up!

PS--I am always humbled by the talent on that site, but I post and learn!

Mac, I do a Model like that in an afternoon! Even with paint! Dry brushing is a good way to add stress marks. I use Testors Aluminim.

Modelers are coming out of the woodwork! I usually build one or two models in the dead of Winter to get me through until Spring. The Day One Project entertained me last Winter but it's done and I'm doing yet another model. I think I need another Hodaka project. Ah, Spring is just around the corner!

Thanks for the tip Victor.I,ve been looking at various methods and that seems to be the easiest to start with.

Yes. Aluminum, Brass, Steel, are all good colors from Testor to dry brush on stress marks! ; D Victor

Someone say model?
