That Russian arctic camo is pretty impressive. But they gave it away with that tag...

Tamiya 1/12 Ferrari 312T
BlrwestSiR replied to Peterpools's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Nice subject choice there Peter. I think my very first F1 car was Tamiya's 312T3 kit in 1/20 scale. Even that was quite impressive but I was too young and hamfisted to do much with it. I do have a MFH kit in the stash of a later version of the Ferrari. This one is plastic and metal instead of their usual resin. -

Not a bad idea. Maybe get some liners for the tubes to help prevent punctures. I'm running tubeless on my main mountain bike. A bit of a pain to set up sometimes but so much easier.

Nice bike Martin! Sadly I gave up road bikes after getting hit one too many times by ignorant drivers.

Thanks Rob! I'm not doing much weathering ad the plane I'm modeling only flew a few times before being lost on the Dams raid. I will probably do more of that on my second Lanc when I get to it. Thanks Phil! Supposedly HK fixed a couple of the errors on the 1/32 kit when they did the 1/48 one.

I got some work done in the cockpit. I used the Eduard seatbelts for the pilot and radio operater. I then added the navigator's seat and belts. Finally I added the navigator's table. The cockpit is starting to come together. Csrl

Peter, 3D printing has definitely been a game changer. Toronto these days is perpetual gridlock so the traffic in Chicago felt like home. Which is funny as folks often compare Toronto to Chicago.

Thanks Gary! When I realized the Chicago Skyline was getting bigger, my first thought was "So much for making good time". Lol
-
Interesting problem you had with the seatbelts Jeroen. The cockpit looks great and great to hear the other bits have worked as they should. Carl

You're probably right Harv. -

BlrwestSiR replied to ScottsGT's topic in General Discussion
Congrats Scott! I have no idea when I'm retiring. Unless you call quitting my job 8 1/2 years old to be a stay-at-home dad and doing odd small jobs retired. Semi-retired? Carl -
Thanks Gus! The border crossing took an hour between lining to get on the bridge and then waiting to go through customs. Plus I made a wrong turn at some point and we ended up driving through Chicago rather than around it. Carl

Well I'm back from visiting family in Wisconsin for the last week and after a day to recover from the 14 hours in the car, in back at the bench and working on the Lanc. I got a coat of paint onto the Resin2Detail pilot's seat. The details really started to pop at this point. I was surprised by the holes in the rear uprights of the seatback. Definitely some exceptional detail there. I then got some more paint onto other cockpit parts. So maybe not a lot but I'm hoping for some more progress tonight after dinner. Carl

Just drove home from Wisconsin where we visited my sister and her family. 14 hours in the car. Picked this up while I was there. One heavy boxset. When I got home, my neighbours kindly brought this in for me as it had arrived from Vancouver.

What is on your bench right now ? Share a picture :)
BlrwestSiR replied to Martinnfb's topic in Modelling Discussion
Very nice Kingfisher Smitty. Mine is in a drawer on the bench. One more kit I need to get back to and finish. Carl -

I know people sometimes complain about accuracy issues with Trumpeter kits but wow! -
Nice progress Martin. Really going together well from the looks of it. Dinner that is. Oven fried chicken?
