    Helos: There were a couple of the ICM CH-54 kits built up. Here's the first one with just about every bit of AM from Reskit and Screaming Toad thrown at it. The second one was in a civilian scheme.

    ...more aircraft: Scratch built floats for the C-47. 1/32 planes were well represented. The Border Lanc kit done to represent the wartime VR-A. Bombs away:

    I just got back from our trip to Heritagecon. It's a great show with the goal of supporting the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. Plus you have the awesome environment of being surrounded by various planes, many in flaying condition. Onto to the models on display starting with aircraft. This diorama was entered in the Junior category:

    I did my best Hubert.

    It wasn't that bad: For my wallet anyways. We'll see what happens to my body when Sue sees what I picked up. Then there'll probably be a second round when Rachael sees what I got for Martin. For clarity, the Stratos was won by our son in the show raffle. But he gave it to his friend who came along with us to the show. This was after Edward had won a NASCAR kit. I also found Spitfire: the Canadians so grabbed those.

    Like Rob said, you've made a potentially dull monotone paint scheme have some character and depth. Have fun at the show. I'm off to Heritagecon myself today with our boys. Carl

    That rear glass looks stunning. Lots of work to get a perfect but worth it. Carl

    The railgun is now mounted. Now its in the danger zone. I need to push through and add the last couple parts, decals and call it down before I find something else that distracts me. Heritagecon is Sunday so hopefully I get it done before then as I'm sure there'll be lots of shiny new plastic there.

    Maybe they got Jr and Sr mixed up? I'm still on the fence about getting an Avenger. Still haven't built one in any scale but not sure that's enough of a reason. The Squirrel just isn't quite strong enough I guess.

    Wow, that's approaching Canada Post wait times at their worst. Actually the longest wait time I experienced was when I mailed an airsoft Berreta 92 from Taiwan to a friend in Toronto. It spent 2 months bouncing back and forth between Canada Post and Canada Customs. The former said it was a firearm and therefore it couldn't be sent by mail while the latter said it wasn't and could be. Canada Customs finally won out and Canada Post duly delivered it. The amount of labels on the package was staggering when my friend got it.

    Some challenging work there Rob but it looks good.

    Scott, this is the same guy that did the C-17 for Tyler Perry.

    Sorry that you couldn't find a solution to the fit of the hood. It's a spectacular looking build so I'm glad to hear you're going to finish it.
  14. BlrwestSiR
    Stunning...

    Hubert, with enough thrust, anything can be made to fly. Just got to make sure Scott's throwing arm is up to it. On a separate note, have you seen the RC 777 this guy built? That's large scale...

    It was great to meet you and Gary and Dave (Denders) at the Nats last year. I wish I could have met more of you, including Harv. I was supposed to go to the Vegas one as it was my 50th that year. I even had the hotel booked and then COVID happened and I couldn't go. Carl

    Camo time for the Lunadiver. First up was cream white. Then Elfenbein. Finally FS36081. Now for some drying time.
  18. BlrwestSiR
    As Hubert said, the ZM one is the more accurate. As for the resin one, here's what mine looked like. There was no way to straighten it out completely as much as I tried. I know someone else who had the same set and theirs was even worse. The replacement set that ZM sent wasn't any better.
  19. BlrwestSiR
    Wow, nice recovery there John. I guess the clean break at the tail helped. Hope the gear legs aren't as bad as they look.
  20. BlrwestSiR
    Thanks for sharing the pics Vince. Some nice looking models there. Carl

    I started on the paint work for the Lunadiver. First, a coat of primer Followed by some pre-shading. At this point I noticed the missing handles I'd left off so they wouldn't get knocked off. I'll add those and then start with the colour coats.
  22. BlrwestSiR
    The ZM B nose supposedly is a different shape to the Takom one. It's supposed to be closer to the actual drawings and have a more correct rear cockpit. It'll certainly be better than the original ZM conversion kit for the 2 seater.
  23. BlrwestSiR
    Wow, looks like you're in the home stretch.
  24. BlrwestSiR
    It looks just like you're plumbing a real engine bay. Nice work there including the touch ups you've had to do.
  25. BlrwestSiR
    Nice variety of items there @Count0. Spot Model is a great place to get stuff for car models. I love the VF-1 Valkyries too. I managed to grab the 1/20 Max Factory Strike Valk when it came out. It's a bit basic but it's 1/20. One day...
