    Great pictures everyone. Here's a couple from Northern Ontario from a family trip a couple years ago. These are from Agawa Canyon near the Sault. Carl

    It looks very nice with the decals on. Into the home stretch. Carl

    Glad to see it's finally getting returned to a proper condition. I recently went through a ridiculous insurance claim at the beginning the summer so I feel your pain. Is that a spoiler as well that you have? Carl

    I agree with Jeff. We were just over in Scotland this past August. My boys had a blast playing on the many beaches we visited including St Andrews. Carl

    For me,.my Birdcage Corsair is probably my best. It was the first time I really tried to weather a model as I usually do very little weathering on my builds. Trying to get the right worn paint look took a couple of tries before I was happy with it. My first try was too stark and I had to strip and repaint the wings. Carl

    Just reading this thread for the first time. Your figures are exquisitely finished. Can't wait to see your progress on the Belle herself. Carl

    Thanks! The tracks definitely add some weight to the model. Carl

    Ok, got some more done. The tools are painted and installed. For the turret decals , I used ones made by Echelon. So a quick clear coat and some weathering and she'll be finished. Carl

    How about this guy? He snuck into our car hoping for a lift somewhere.

    Completely agree with you there. Classic rear wheel drive cars need a long hood and short deck to look right. I just realized that my convertible could probably fit in the trunk of yours.

    Certainly nicer than Ford's last try at a T-bird.

    Or a couple WNW Lancasters...

    Cool, so much information and details I'm learning about these cars. Carl
  14. BlrwestSiR
    Nice! So that's the Thelma and Louise T-bird? Carl
  15. BlrwestSiR
    That'll rub out. Any other pics to satisfy my curiosity? Carl

    I can completely agree with you there. My Tamiya Mossie stalled after I made a mess of the belts. I ended up ripping them out and putting new ones in. It was only then that I felt up to finishing it. You're doing a great job and I'm looking forward to seeing paint on her. Carl

    Just got a newsletter from WNW that there will be test shots of the Lancaster at Telford. They also say they're hoping that price wise it cones in slightly higher than the Felixstowe/Brandenburg Duellist kit so $400 ish? Which means I might be able to pull off getting one of these to go with the HK one. Carl

    With our Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday I had time today to get some work done on the Tiger. It was mostly getting small bits on. I started with the spare tracks and the various cables. The ones for the turret were particularly fiddly as they didn't have any specific location points provided. All that's left now are the OVM tools and the turret markings. Carl

    Great review James and thanks from me as well for doing it. Carl
  20. BlrwestSiR
    Very clean and sharp. I use masks all the time for markings but haven't tried them for camo yet. Carl

    Great photos Jeff! I've only been to Vancouver so haven't seen anything really of BC. Still trying to make my way through Ontario where I live. Martin, I hear there's more fluffy white stuff headed your way. I think you need one of those Russian tanks with the jet engines mounted on them for snow removal. Then you get to combine all your hobbies in one shot Carl

    That's what happened to me. I started wearing glasses when I was 3 1/2. I was fine at the work bench and for reading but then had my eye surgery and suddenly needed reading glasses. The rest of the time I've got 20/20 vision so it's a fair tradeoff in my eyes. The good thing is so far both my boys have great vision (thanks to the wife's genes) so hopefully they'll be able to keep it for a while. Carl

    The family dinner went really well. The turkey was nicely done as was all the side dishes my wife made. Everyone had a good time. I managed to get to the bench after everyone left so finished up the turret. I've thrown the tracks on as well to see how they look. Almost time to start working on the smaller bits now. Carl
  24. BlrwestSiR
    Thanks gents. The Zimmerit is working out better than I had hoped. Especially the chipped bits.
  25. BlrwestSiR
    Maybe a magnifying lamp would help? I still haven't tried an optivisor myself. Last year I had ICL surgery and went from -11.5 to near 20/20. What a revelation that was. Then I found out I needed reading glasses because my car sighted vision was finally normal. Carl
