    A lovely addition to your collection John. Carl

    Thanks Peter! It's nice being able to switch it up subject wise from time to time. If you want to try an armour kit, any of the new Tamiya kits are great. Or build one of the Asuka Shermans. They're fantastic kits and go together so nicely. Carl

    Man, that's quite the oilcanning effect. Glad to see that they're taking them out the proper way and not just bondo-ing everything. Carl

    I hear you on that one Ernie. Maybe we should do what this couple did: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/we-re-always-taking-chances-b-c-couple-buys-massive-unfinished-saskatchewan-mansion-1.4864117 Supposedly the garage is 2700 sq ft alone. Carl

    Great work so far James. The thinned wall panel is so much better looking. Carl

    Happy birthday Harv! Carl

    Looks great Tony. Carl

    Glad to see you're back Peter. Not so glad to hear about the injuries but at least you're getting them looked after and be on the mend. I saw some of the pics you took in Maine on the other thread and they make it easy to understand why you go. Carl

    Thanks Peter and Jeff. This is probably my favourite photo from the trip. It has my wife, our oldest son ( 3 1/2 at the time)and her dad walking along the tracks at the base of the canyon. That's the train we rode in on in the background. Carl

    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.
  21. BlrwestSiR
    Or a couple WNW Lancasters...
  22. BlrwestSiR
    Cool, so much information and details I'm learning about these cars. Carl
  23. BlrwestSiR
    Nice! So that's the Thelma and Louise T-bird? Carl
  24. BlrwestSiR
    That'll rub out. Any other pics to satisfy my curiosity? Carl
  25. BlrwestSiR
    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
