  1. Excellent job, Rob! Not sure how the color looks like on your end, but things will look more brown if you put it on a grassy base or something.
  2. Thank you, Phil! Kent, nice to hear from you again. It's been a while. I'll be looking forward perhaps to seeing some of your work on it. I haven't delved in too deep as I've had other projects going. I'm completely talent less when it comes to riveting. Just can't make a straight line. I can use Dymo tape, or a metal straight edge... but my riveter or scriber will always find a way to drift away. I can;t imagine trying to rivet over my CA repairs. Anyway... great to see you, mate.
  3. Rob, I really like the way the modulation plays out in the corrugated areas. Perhaps your next build should be Tante Ju.
  4. Nice work, Peter! These Tamiya Corsairs are definitely not shake and bake.
  5. Nice looking engine. Kudos on that rusty manifold.
  6. Lots of great comments from the crew I can only echo.
  7. Thank you, Fellas!
  8. Thank you, Rob. They definitely make you put in more time and effort. Getting close to the stage where I need to fit the figures.
  9. HI Friends! I decided to caption the photos with the photo editor... I think it makes the process a little faster than trying to remember what each photo means an hour after taking them. Thanks for looking!

    The Trumpy kit shouldn't be too bad if he's not a rivet counter. I sold my last one for the cost of postage as the kit was rivetted by the Mad-Rivetter of Shanghai. Lotsa 1/48 kits around.... just avoid the Kittyhawk one. I've read that it's a disaster.
  13. Very nice looking camo, Phil!
  14. Very nice result, Rob! Thank you for explaining your technique.
  15. Some exceptional detail work happening here.
  16. Happy belated birthday!
  17. Quick progress, Rob! I'll be interested in seeing your painting method. I've never actually painted with oils. Just weathered over acrylic or lacquer.
  18. Coming along nicely, Rob!
  19. I'm guessing his family had no idea who to trust other than an auctioneer. I don't know if Dale nominated a friend to take care of his models for his family. It's something we all should do. I'm 55 but haven't done it, yet. I have club members who are friends.... but I don't really have a close friend who I feel I could give the burden. We've mentioned it at club meetings... but I haven't taken anyone's details to leave to my family.
  20. Well, that P&W engine looks excellent! I'd never build one wings up unless I had too many... they just look too nice ready to fly.
  21. Good start, John! Looking sharp!
  22. Rob, it would be sweet if ICM offered one. Certainly more interesting than a Falco. ICM are quite bold when it comes to molding fine shapes. But they aren't much for other niceties such as PE. Even if Roden did make one, I doubt it would be of this quality. They've showed us with the recent SPAD release that they have no interest in improving their product.
