  1. Carl Glad you decided to keep going and fought off the temptation of binning the big guy. I seem to all to easily To bin projects as I just lose interest and yield to the erg to start something else. Over the years, it seems my ‘Bin’ record greatly out weighed my completed record 🤧 Keep ‘em comin Peter
  2. Jeroen Nasty repair for sure as the actual body is not a part that can be ordered and a year's wait for the thread cutter: ouch! Fingers crossed the repairs come out perfect. 🤞 Keep 'em comin Peter
  3. Phil Yup, Trumpy made a new, single piece wing and a new cowl for the kit. These days, I pretty much follow my golden rule: if the kit has folding wings, use 'em as any other way could be very painful. Keep 'em comin Peter
  4. Terrific figures - beautifully done Keep ‘em comin Peter
  5. Phil Glad you’re underway and eagerly waiting your first build update. Keep ‘em comin Peter
  6. John You’re going to love the Quinta Cockpit sets. I used one on my P-51 build - brilliant addition and Dove in and bought quite a few 48th scale sets as well. I just finished detailing the front office of the Tamiya 48th Tomcat and I fell right off my chair when I took a good long look. No question, it’s the future here and now Keep ‘em comin Peter
  7. Phil Holy smokes, now that's crowed airspace and I thought Long Island had crowed airspace. Keep 'em comin Peter
  8. Some very nice work on a 'classic' kit. So glad you jumped into the waters and posted your Harrier build. Keep 'em comin Peter
  9. Beautiful work and some mighty fine scratching building for sure. Keep 'em comin Peter
  10. Nick Absolutely spectacular work and the P-40 looks simply fantastic. Your treatment of the weathering is so well done and realistic , dusty, worn and sun bleached ... awesome work. Keep 'em comin Peter
  11. Mike Brilliant detailing .. looking so good. Keep 'em comin Peter
  12. Kev Nice progress and you're closing in on the paint shop now. Keep 'em comin Peter
  13. Mark Amazing work and after following your cammo painting technique, is seems you mask and add the next adjoining color, which seems to actually be the most logical way way of approaching the work. Looking so good Keep 'em comin Peter
  14. Jeroen Perfect looking pre-shading work. What broke on your Iwata that it needed to go in for repairs? One of my air brushes, an Iwata Eclipse had a constant sticking trigger and no matter how much I cleaned it, the problem kept on reoccurring after a few times of use. I bit the bullet, bought all the necessary parts and replaced the complete air valve assemble and internal seals/o-rings. So far so good. Keep 'em comin Peter
  15. John Your speed and tempo hasn't slowed down a bit on your Sherman build. Looking so good. Keep 'em comin Peter
  16. Phil I never realized there were that many Bomber Airfields in England. Add in Fighter Command and the USAAF bases and it's hard to think there was very much open acreage left. Keep 'em comin Peter
  17. Hubert So sorry to hear that both your wife and yourself have come down with the flu - this year it's seems to be a very miserable strands. This week, my wife and I are going to get both the flu and covid booster shoots. And yesterday, I just heard there is another mutation of the covid virus in South Aftrica 😒 Keep 'em comin Peter
  18. Wishing everyone a wonderful and very thankful Thanksgiving. A year ago I spent my birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas in the hospital with cancer. Today, with our prayers, my Doctor and my wife's care and devotion, I'm in full remission and here, something I wasn't sure about a year ago. 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃 Keep 'em comin Peter
  19. Hi Kev Yup Just about finished sanding and polishing and then will be ready to prime. checking to see how I did. Nothing new at this stage to see or show. I've also been tinkering with a Tamiya 48th scale Tomcat, as I needed periodic breaks from the sandpaper and scribing work. Any luck, an update next week.Keep 'em comin Peter
  20. Carl Perfect fix. Nice going for sure and there shouldn't be any issues down the road - decades and decades! Keep 'em comin Peter
  21. Kent brilliant work ... your methodical approach to the build leaves nothing to chance and nothing to be missed. Keep 'em comin Peter
  22. Carl Yikes, you diverted a near disaster, but the Big Lib is together and now, that's whats counts. I'm sure you considered all the various options and choices for the filler and seeing and I'm thinking a sheet plastic or goop filler which would add to the strength to the assembly and fill as well. I always worry about down the road and making new plastic for the gap seems the safest choice. Any ideas yet how you want to fill the gap? Keep 'em comin Peter
  23. Nice progress on the tracks and in this scale, each part just oozes heft, weight and detail.Keep 'em comin Peter
  24. Mike Nice progress. Your attention to detail is amazing and of course, your abilities to model it is wondeful. Keep 'em comin Peter
  25. Jeroen Looking fantastic. So glad to see your FW190 underway again Keep 'em comin Peter
