Kit Bashing Jason Jensen's Kit Bash of 3 KC's Workshop Kits.

Tom,

I'm looking forward to this build, too.  I'm sure you will provide us with your usual thoughtful thorough construction thread. 

And, as a side note, I really appreciate when a manufacturer color codes the strip wood in the kit.  I find it a nice time saver.

Jerry,

Thank you for following along on this adventure. I'm really excited to get going on this one. For this build I do plan on my usual very detailed build and narrative.

It appears as though I'll be writing the instructions for my version of Jensen's build. More on this later in the thread.

I mentioned I plan on building my version of Jason's kit bash. There are some things I love about the original and some things that just don't work for me.

I will discuss these later in the thread but for now I'll keep it simple.

Jerry summed it up best when he said, "Implausible construction detracts from some otherwise outstanding models".


I have my own vision of how I want my version of Jason't model to to look. Now, where do I start?

[jerryrbeach]

Tom,

I find it helps if I start at the beginning.  Not sure what works for you!

[ACL1504]

Jerry,

You are correct but I'm not sure just yet where my beginning is.


I need to not get ahead of the build. This is how excited I am to start.

Looking forward to following along on this thread, Tom. Seems like there are a lot of possibilities with this kit so I'm eager to see how you put your own stamp on it.

[Mark Dalrymple]

I'm watching with interest, Tom.

Very keen to get your take on "Implausible construction detracts from some otherwise outstanding models".  Please don't hold back.  We are all here to learn.

Cheers, Mark.

Seeing the color coded stripwood takes me back to my first Ambroid kit - yep didn't read the instructions first and measured from the colored end on my first cut - Duh!!!

George,

There are many possibilities here. I have one in mind for my build and will show it as I move along.

Thanks for following.

Mark,

Happy to have you along on the adventure. I'll explain in more detail the comment above in the next few posts.

Doug,

Thanks for checking in. Yes, I think we have all done the same thing. Skip the instructions and jump right in on a build only to find we cut something that wasn't meant to be cut.

Jim,

Thanks for getting on the bandwagon with this one. I hope it turns out the way I intend.
