    Looking forward to see you perform one two of your magical tricks on building these kits This seat is already amazing. Just one comment : even though I am sure they are not that visible IRL, these molding seam lines on the frames would worry me , but then it’s just me ... and maybe that is one (of many) reasons why my kit output is so abysmally low ...

    The only thing that "works" well on ice is skates, or spiked tires. No ABS can save you under these circumstances. Hubert.

    I had missed this one so far. Silly me ! Great result on this one. Well done ! Hubert

    Good-looking cat. Still one of the most amazing airframes, and Grumman’ crowning achievement. Well done sir ! Hubert

    Welcome here Scott ! Cool place to stay and good company to enjoy ... Hubert

    They have some very cool bases, including carrier decks, grass and tarmac, and in 1/32 too. I follow them on ebay FWIW. Hubert

    +1 for rechristening LSM to LSK ... (K for Knitters, in case you had not heard of my adhesion to this new club) Hubert PS : oh, and yes, Peter, fantastic work, as usual ...

    Although WnW’s tight-fitting tolerances certainly contribute to the strength of the kit, I would have thought that taut monofilament would be a determining factor to making the whole finished bird stronger. Of course that means losing the accuracy of the flat RAF wire, but we are in a trade-off dilemna with these ... Btw, I have found some flat monofilament, but it is not small enough for the DH-2 rigging. It would look just about right for the Swordfish, though ... Hubert

    After fastidious checking that HPH got the nose right (which, just based on pics, I also thought was true, after initial doubts - but HPH may have revised their draft - ), it is quite funny to see you contemplating cutting that very same nose out Just my , of course ... Hubert

    Well technically, two of my cats ARE sometimes on my bench Hubert

    If we are into Dreamland, I’d still like to see Sir Peter Jackson prepare a movie with a B-58, or A HP Heyford ... Hubert Ok, the Heyford would probably not sell that many, not even as a resin kit ...
  12. HubertB
    To do that, you’ll need at least a SR-71, or another MiG-25 ... Just my Hubert

    Absolutely ! Like yellow wings Hubert

    She’s definitely looking mean, Martin Hubert

    At last some civvy ! This is where the old Gooney really got his legendary wings, IMHO (not trying to minimise its merits during WWII, or in Vietnam, mind you, but my inclinations are definitely not on the warry side)... Bring more Hubert

    If we are talking about bench « add-ons », here are my three home cats, on an ordinary morning at home (around 6:00 AM) The grey one on the left loves sniffing around my bench, and tasting the resin bits like a Fisher cockpit or a carefully-built frame structure for my on-going Gee-Bees’ builds. So I try to discourage his modelling interests. Both he and the Maine Coon princess on the right also love jumping on the shelves with all the paint pots. Getting them to jump down without creating havoc among all these chemicals is a regular challenge Hubert

    You are in the Wingnut Wings "Ready for inspection" sub-forum of the LSM finished work. I am the first to admit this is a bit confusing, but it was, I believe, a decision at the time to have a special focus area on WnW WWI kits. Probably not necessary anymore now, as they have become "mainstream" for a lot of modelers. As for moving your thread, this is admin privilege, so you should ask the staff. Cheers Hubert

    Nice one ! (but wrong forum for posting, which, maybe deprives you and your fellow modellers from more viewing) Hubert

    Thank you for the compliment guys ... But then one wonders why, with the setup I came up with after years of experience, thinking and the help of HobbyZone, this does not make me more productive Hubert PS: I wanted to also quote Jeff's and Phil's (Bomber-County) comments, but apparently, I am not proficient at "multi-quoting" . Sorry to both.

    I was about to write "dust" to literally answer the question in the thread's title, but then I thought better and decided I would have my friend Ernie cringe a bit ... . So I took the portable vacuum-cleaner and did a bit of dusting ... It does mean though that there is not much going on on my bench right now . Here is to instant karma retribution for those who laugh at their less-orderly siblings ... Hubert

    Just received the prop from Proper Planes and Rexx exhaust for my WnW Junkers D1. The pic does not do these justice. They are absolute works of art, and the plush box they come into is totally justified Hubert.

    I thought that everything was washed with vodka in the Motherland of Triumphing Socialism .... Hubert, the user-of-totally-worn-out-cliches

    Cool project. Even cooler if you'd choose to do it in the famous Alcock and Brown scheme ... Hubert
  24. HubertB
    Double like, and kudos to Nigel and Robert for the work you are doing ... Hubert
  25. HubertB
    Outstanding work Nigel. Definitely my type of modelling. Hubert
