This is my entry for our GB. I just ordered the kit; Roden PC-6. Should be pretty cool. It's a classic bush plane with extraordinary talents Keep 'em comin Peter

Rob Noting like learning new techniques and skills with each build. So glad Mike was able to help with recommending some tools that will help insure there will be very few fit issues. Sanding looks good and it's easy to see why it took three hours of careful and delicate work. Keep 'em comin Peter

MIke Some mighty fine work Keep 'em comin Peter

John Nice steady progress and looking so good. Keep 'em comin Peter

Phil Nice progress on the AM PE flaps ... just a small setback with cleaning up the injection mold marks and it's surely going to look good. Keep 'em comin Peter

Kevin if it helps ... been there and done that a lot more then once. I've since learned my lessons and always use a cap on my air brush - I can never use the excuse to myself of not having a cap as I have replacement caps ready to role. Nice work on your NMF ... looks so good. Keep 'em comin Peter

Kai Front gear looks so nicely detailed and the LED light is awesome. I'm going to give the Molotow 2mm chrome marker a try myself. I've struggled with Bare Metal Foil and normally use Alclad Chrome over gloss black and then mask. Way too much work for such a small detail. Peter

Kriss Mighty nice progress Keep 'em comin Peter

John Staying busy doesn't come close. Keep 'em comin Peter

Mike Awesome progress. Keep 'em comin Peter

Kriss Nice progress and the perfect use for Lego's Keep 'em comin Peter

Gaz Brilliant work a nine man crew each named and looking their part. Detail work and painting is just so good. How they all aren't coming over for dinner at one time. Keep 'em comin Peter

Hi Oliver Welcome aboard and completely agree; absolutely one of the coolest race car ever and from an age with almost no computers and no CAD: paper, pencil and hard work Keep 'em comin Peter.

Ernie I had no idea you have a passion for wooden sailing ships. How about posting a few photos so we can see where you are. Admiral Nimitz was from Texas, so there is a great tradition of great sailors from your neck of the country. Keep 'em comin Peter

Rob I just can't tell you how much I'm enjoying following your progress. Your work as always is flawless and precise .. the mark of a true craftsman. Kudo's on making your pin/nail pusher - nothing like Necessity being The Mother of Invention and being prepared. Keep 'em comin Peter;

Rob Just could be, stranger things have happened Keep 'em comin Peter

Carl Some mighty nice supplies arrived plus the Tamiya Mustang, sign of the times I guess as prices just continually keep rising for everything. The RP Chopper Toolz Chopper does look so much more tool like and has some nice features from what I see as compared to either the NWSL or Micro Choppers Choppers, of which I had both but now, just the one from Micro Mark. I do have the RP Toolz products and find 100% quality: The Hexagonal Punch Set RP-HPD. Keep 'em comin Peter

Rob Can't wait for each and every update, as your build is going to be ground breaking, for at least me. I went to the Vanguard Site and looked at the photographs of the completed models and OMG, she is magnificent. I downloaded the instructions and quickly looked through it and the model easily requires a different menu of skills then we plastic modelers have in our tool chest. You're off to a terrific start and I'll be following every step of the way. Keep 'em comin Peter

Jeroen I'm right with Phil and along for the journey. Keep 'em comin Peter

John Holy smokes, you're a a major role! Terrific choice for your next racer and I'll be in the front row enjoying another terrific build. Keep 'em comin Peter

Kent Yup, this makes it a must to see the movie. Glad you're on board for the journey and so far I run accross a few assembly sequence issues and some minor part fir issues as well. Working my way towards priming, hopefully by the weekend Keep 'em comin Peter

Mike Very nice progress - the Lewis MG's look spot on and the prop looks so good, especially being wood and a much better starting point.. Keep 'em comin Peter

MIke Nice work on the Lewis MG;s. They do look good. Keep 'em comin Peter

Kai Very nice work on the nose gear details and the Bare metal Foil absolutely looks the part. Keep 'em comin Peter

Hi Kai Glad you're on board for the journey. My brother has been a long time race car builder and keeps asking me to build them in between aircraft builds. I do have a few kits in the stash, mostly 1/24 and a 1/12 kits and thought the time is right to get my feet wet. I have been finding out, automotive kits, especially race cars are built so differently then aircraft, and knowing so little, I need to spend an inordinate amount of time working out a painting procedure that would work for me. There are no FS numbers to guide you so I decided to buy the specific Team colors from Gravity (Spain) as it is much easier that way. Of course, I should have started off with a curbside kit, which only has a cockpit interior, shell and details that can be seen on the exterior, which is how I prefer to build my aircraft models; learning as I'm going.
