Now the wife is up to….Now a cancer thread.
HubertB replied to ScottsGT's topic in General Discussion
Scott, sorry to read this my friend, ans wishing Mary all the best. If it is any reassurance / consolation, Patricia has had now 6 different cancers (got good news about the last one this Wednesday) and got through them. She’s now become a test case for oncologic genetic research, as the docs do not understand how this can happen. Hubert -
But the T-55 is Russian, not polish, isn’t it ? (confused) Hubert

Wow ! I do not know where to start with the deluge of compliments : the incredible propeller, the wings’ skinning, the oil cooler, the float struts: everything is just so incredible Hubert -
Just buy a F4-E kit …. Voilà, voilà. Happy to have helped you out of your ordeal. Hubert 😇

Making good progress Gus 👍 ! Love it ! Hubert

Of course, nobody is going to complain about how accurate, or inaccurate your rendition of the nozzles is, but it looks to "squarish" to me, compared to the illustration of the film you have displayed : too flat on top and too small radius of the "corners". My use of the word "squircle" was the best representation of how it should look in my mind. Or to say it in another way: whilst the YF-23 had a "flat" top for the engine nacelles, and relatively small radius corners, the F-22 has definitely a more "rounded" look to the engine nacelles and vectoring petals. Just my two cents, of course Hubert

You’re sure she’d be allowed to do that with a paper bag on her head ? Hubert

MiniArt P-47D Thunderbolt: COMPLETED 2/13/24
HubertB replied to Peterpools's topic in LSM 1/48 Work in Progress
Seeing the two kits side-by-side, I cannot help but see the differences between the two, in their stance on the ground, and more importantly in the windscreen / canopy area. I don.t know which one os closer to the original though. Hubert -

AEG G.IV - Creature of the Night - WNW 1/32
HubertB replied to DocRob's topic in The Great Twins Group Build.
Great project, Rob. As for the Rexx exhausts, they are galvanically-grown metal parts. And nothing looks like metal like metal … The only issue is that, even before the invasion of Ukraine, they seemed to be made of unobtainium … Mind you, there is a modeller on Modelshipworld who showed how to do galvanic-grown parts at home. Seemed easy-peasy 🤪 (😂🤪🤣😂) . He produced some fantastic-looking wind-funnels for his model … Hubert -

One thing is sure: your troubles are not visible on your kit now. Great result 👍 ! Hubert -
1/72 Unterseebooten ...A hole in the sea ....
HubertB replied to PanzerWomble's topic in Non LSM 'WIP
At this angle, I’d rather say that it is sinking backwards. Pretty dramatic and grueling in itself … Hubert PS: you have pushed the « it’s not visible but at least I know it’s here » concept to a new height by painting the rear end before hacking it ! -

Wow ! Your metal working skills are pushed to higher and higher levels, Peter Hubert -
A book … And what a book ! This is the last « in Action » book, on the TBD Devastator, by Dana Bell. wow ! Needless to say it supersedes, and by far, the previous « in Action » book on the same subject. I have a significant library on the TBD, plus a huge compilation of pictures I gathered on the net, but this one still manages to add pictures I had never seen hitherto, nor even, to my despair, found … Add to that the infinitely knowledgeable comments by Dana Bell, and you have an absolute « must have » book, at least if you have even a passing interest on the TBD.

I’m with Martin here 👍 Hubert

You could do a forced perspective dio , with compressed depth of (Russian, of course) field …. Now, about those pills … Hubert

1/48 EE Lightning ...how to make at patchwork quilt
HubertB replied to PanzerWomble's topic in The Great Twins Group Build.
Cool …I remember finishing exactly this one, in the mid-eighties, in 1/48, from …. the old ID Models vac-form … Had an undignified end when my two boys started playing around the house with it Hubert -
What is on your bench right now ? Share a picture :)

Thanks Martin. Dale was a great friend sorely missed 😢 Hubert -

Back in the saddle. Finished re-installing my workbench
HubertB replied to HubertB's topic in General Discussion
Thanks Peter. I have to say that the older I grow, the more I think house moves are for young people … I always made a rule to finish installing everything after a move within 6 weeks, and not leave any boxes unopened. This time, it took twice as long, but the last boxes have finally been opened : they were the (small) ones containing my paint tins … But I would not envision yet another move light-heartedly, now 😓 Hubert -
