Marathon proprietary pink rib tape decal application results in a nice coloring underside:

Phil , GD32 - Thanks for lookin'! One thing I do is go back and add to posts as the work progress'. I'll do that here with the underside paint work. Starting with ivory acrylic primer: Balls masked: Royal blue: I like it 'speckly' like that , not too fine a spray. How a jig works: Almost straight white to begin knocking them down: A custom light blue mix gets us almost there :

We can but try...

Thanks boys! Work re-commences with the major seam created by the top wing cementing. DB worked too well as some glue oozed into the strut mounting holes , easily cleared away with a drill: Strongly recommend a jig or holder of some sort: I decided masks to help alleviate paint build up on the rigging 'balls' were in order. Working on those and dealing with Boxing Day customers...

I have tried with the photo hosting agent to get the pics sorted here to NO avail. You can see the work to date an other forums: Des' WW1 aircraft forum , and Britmodeller. As my year winds down ,and final Christmas gifts are finished an picked up , delivered , I look to the modelling situation and find a small number of seemingly abandoned projects. Never abandoned , but set aside for future consideration , the work never leaves my mind. Guys here are looking like they want to get on with things rather than have go's at each other. A Gotha is poised for some killer work , which will begin the day after Christmas. A clear paln is in place , easily 50% of the work is done , there are components for the work all over my shop , including the jig , holding the top wing for the work needed there: Larger components poised for work: Recent work : First up will be the painting of the undersides and lining up the masks for the 5 color handpainted polygonal night camo; Gratuitous magpie shots: Thanks for looking and please look at the work as suggested on the other forums.

Worth a look anyway and its not too bad of a flick either!

Might be a little unseemly but have a look at the Jimmy Stewart movie , I think its called SAC or something like that. Half to movie takes place in a B 36 if I remember or was it a B 47? The interior would be close I would think. Oil of Oregano kills any cold that dares to try and enter my body.

Modelling for other peeps is nowheresville. Do it for your self or don't do it at all. Its a cruel world mothafer.

Here is my offering. Kit is complete and unstarted. Good shape other than the hole customs put in it for their camera.

Nope they came in the 50's most had to with the food shortages etc of those times that comment came out of the blue and could be a clear indication we are done on this thread I am anyway.

Easy there. My parents were evacuated from Manchester during The Blitz. nuff said?

all the beakin off ive done in this thread and that's the quote you use? I may just apply for permanent residence...

Yes , well , all VERY entertaining. ...and that was more than .02 more like fiddy cen

Me 4! I TRUMP YOU ALL WITH A LIFETIME/EXISTANCE BAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pounding into Vectrics V Carve Pro program. A lot of work done to get a terrain map of the island into workable shape. Still having problems , specifically the 4 cuts into the final small oval shape , from the map image file. May hafta go into the G code..... Got some Vecrtic pro's looking into it....

Did my Gotha 4 bladers in metal after a few minor resin casting issues. I think making another one to fit from scratch is out , easy enough for one blade to be cast..

Not much help from the company or the cops. I told him to get over it , even if they show up on the vendor tables at the show , he'll hafta watch and cant do anything. The models may have A/M inside but they are unmarked personally. Really crappy. And pretty obvious an inside job as only his wife knew about where they were.

One of our IPMS members stored all of his kits is a locker at a mainstream storage facility. Someone bridged the gap between his and the next and cherrypicked his stash. He lost most of his collection , they went through it with an educated eye . Who would risk criminal B&E charges, a possible criminal record and the humiliation of being caught stealing models?

Its the way the world has become. Idiot instigators get off while their victims are villainized for their reaction. Strange stuff. Same as peeps around here that crowd the orcas in boats. Stupid IS the new cool.

Might be cool to get it up to speed , jump out , roll clear , and watch it go off a cliff.

Are you using a contour gauge?

ok thanks I'll dig something out

I think there is so little diff between inside & outside ….?

I'll play. What is the criteria for selecting a kit to supply?

I make t shirts for peeps who pay me.
