John, wow. I look away and you're done! Well, the camo is done. Great work as always.

Revell 1/32 Spitfire Mk IIa
BlrwestSiR replied to Peterpools's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Spitfire over the Mustang for me as well. I've yet to build a Tamiya one and like you, have a pair in the stash. Spitfires I'm up to 11 done and 9 in the stash not including the forthcoming Kotare one. Can't wait to see yours come out of the paint shop. -
What is on your bench right now ? Share a picture :)

There's so many of them...can't stop myself. -
A few years ago Sue and I are in their lighting section. They have some light called ANSLUTTA and it comes in a clear tube. The instructions have the name on them and are folded in such a way that all you read is SLUT on the packaging. We laughed our heads off. Sue even sent a pic to Ikea management and they said they'd look into it.

Sometimes both but that's purely by accident. It happens only if the cat sneaks in when no one is looking.

Started on the Gundam model. Each part gets painted separately and then put together. It certainly simplifies the paint job. -
Yes, it was a great build. Not complicated and great fit. Plus with only a twin rotor main blade it doesn't take up much space.

Nice review Fran. I have this in the stash as well as having built the original ICM release. It went together really well. Some folks have complained about the landing skids having a weak attachment point but mine went on fine. The funny thing is the Special Hobby release is often cheaper than the ICM one even though it has more in the box.

ProModeler 1/48 PBY-5A Catalina + Goodies, RFI
BlrwestSiR replied to CANicoll's topic in Let’s Get Wet Group Build.
Catching up on your PBY Chris and you're really moving along. Glad to see the tail is coming together, especially after all the extra work. Definitely a big plane. End of the month, I'll be at Heritagecon which is at CWHM and they have a Canso. I'll see if I can grab some pics while I'm there even if it a bit late for your build. -
39” 1/128 Seaview and Flying Sub

Looks like when Richard Dreyfuss was making Devil's Tower in his dining room. -
I decided to jump on the Tamiya chemicals bandwagon and picked some up from my LHS. It was easy as they had a sale on. The lacquer thinner with retarder is Tamiya's version of Mr Color Levelling thinner, which has gone up in price by a third since last year. On a per 100ml price the Tamiya worked out cheaper so I went with that. The other purchase was a Gundam kit. Oddly, I don't have many of these in the stash even though I have a fair bit of mecha. To make it more interesting, this is in the Super Deformed ("Egg plane") style.

An interesting night here last night…

I haven't had as much time at the bench over the last couple weeks as I thought. When I have been there, I've had a bad case of the squirrels and worked on other stuff. Like a Su-122-54 and then a Jota SVR... So I finally did something ,even if it was a little bit on the Vosper. I got the rear cabin wall mostly done so sprayed a coat of primer on it to see how things look. I'll add a coat of white to the primer to make it opaque and then add some wiring to it. I'll still trying to figure out the best approach to the windows and how to paint things.

That is one big pair of glasses. Absolutely stunning diorama.

A very detailed 1/12 car model of the Jaguar that raced at LeMans in the early '90s. Multi-media kit so resin, white metal, machined aluminum, PE, rubber and vac parts.

Revell 1/32 Spitfire Mk IIa
BlrwestSiR replied to Peterpools's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Nice work Peter. The main seams all look good overall. The glass looks fine and the sprue attachment point isn't as bad as the one on Tamiya's 1/32 F-4 kits. Can't wait to see what it looks like under a coat of paint. As for the Barracuda bits, I wonder if Roy has several moulds that he uses and some may have shrunk/degraded. I have two of the Tempest nose corrections and one is way off dimensionally while the other is almost a perfect match to the fuselage. -
Here's the link to the how-to I did.

Back to our regularly scheduled program….
BlrwestSiR replied to ScottsGT's topic in General Discussion
Nice! Our house is way too small for a man cave. I'm lucky to have the space I do in the basement. Great collection of diecasts too. -
Very, very jealous. Nobody around here has them much less second for cheaper.
