    The P-40 is very tempting. Might even get the SR-71 and the Razor's Quest. Carl

    Great photos Steve and thanks for sharing them. Carl

    Happy New Year folks!

    It's got to be better than Lawn Dart. Clunk was their nickname. They were officially called the Canuck.

    CF-100 Clunk CF-105 Arrow I'll start with those. Carl

    She looks fantastic. It wouldn't know it two different kits cut and blended together. Carl

    Nice group of models Phil. Well done.

    Fantastic looking Starfighter. Great presentation as well with the display base and engine. Carl

    If you don't mind 1/72, this is coming out soon-ish. https://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?item_no=MC-UA72210

    Here's the link to the WIP thread on the display case.

    Thanks! It helps to have a couple boys who are getting into building models. Then I get to have bench time while watching the boys. As for the display case, I bought a pair of Ikea Detolf cases ad used the glass, wire frames, shelves and hardware. I made a new base and top from wood boards. It's probably the most cost effective way to get a case that size. Carl

    Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense. I'll have to look into those Albion Alloys connectors. Carl

    Thanks Rob! The Jeep would indeed have made things too crowded. So I'll save it for my next Scammell build which will be in NWE colours. I'll make a bigger base for that one.

    Just catching up on your build. The struts are really impressive. Just curious how you get the alignment on the joint where all three struts meet? You did the V first and when you add the third one, do you solder it on too? Carl

    I went through my pics and found that I had managed to finish more than I expected. By scale: Tamiya Marder III Dragon Panther G late Takom Jagdtiger Schewerer plattformwagen Takom Jagdpanther Bandai 1/144 Aluminum Falcon Bandai 1/100,000 Super Star Destroyer Bandai Mecha Collection Andromeda Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire IX Hasegawa 1/32 Bf-109F Fujimi 1/12 Nissan Skyline GT-R Lastly, there's the display case I built. I also started way more than this so I will hopefully get those done in the coming year. Carl

    It's a very looking Pfalz Bill. I've got the same kit in my stash. It's one of the few WWI planes I do have. Carl

    Thanks Harv! Still waiting for it to dry and see what it really looks like.

    I'll just say it was the cats. I mean, our Calico gases me pretty much any time I'm at my bench so fair play I'd say.

    I started on the ground cover. I'm using two different grades of gravel from Woodland Scenics. One is fine talus and the other is fine ballast. I mixed a bit of both together and then sprinkle/pour it on the base. Then I'm using a dropper to apply thinned PVA glue. With the base covered, I put the Scammell on it to see how it looks. Just need to wait for the glue to stay and we'll find out soon enough.

    Some nice subjects there Gaz. A nice variety too. Carl

    Ernie, it's a gorgeous build. I'd be happy with it the way it is. Carl
  22. BlrwestSiR
    I'd love to see you build the Firefly. It's my favourite WWII tank.
  23. BlrwestSiR
    I have decided to forego the Jeep and just do the Scammell and Grant on the base. To that end, I've thrown some drywall compound on the base and shaped it so that the groundwork won't be completely flat. This is new territory for me so I hope it works.
  24. BlrwestSiR
    Looks awesome. What is the passenger holding in his hand? Cellphone? Carl

    Here's my collection now that it's been reorganized and made to fit on the shelves. You'll probably note that I've got the opposite of Ernie's collection. Lots of Japanese two star shake and bake kits. The two RC car boxes are actually full of leftover sprues from finished kits.
