Just got back from a week of camping. Had a package waiting for me. Might just have to be my next build. Need to send the one Martin asked me to order for him out as well.

what's on your to buy list for 2023 (newly released kits only)
BlrwestSiR replied to npb748r's topic in Modelling Discussion
Can it be built as our very neglected Canadian ones? -
I have a love/hate relationship with decals. Usually they go wrong for me which is why I prefer to use masks for as much as possible. And yet, when I don't have a choice they work out. Most of the time.

"Alert 1 to Eagle 1, splash the Zeros!"- Tamiya F-14
BlrwestSiR replied to BlrwestSiR's topic in Let’s Get Wet Group Build.
Last of the gear bits, finally. Got them painted and installed today. With those in, I installed the seats and canopy and it's finally done! We leave tomorrow for a week long camping trip so perfect timing. I'll take more pics when we're back. -
1/16 scale Tiger VI Ausf E early build
BlrwestSiR replied to CrankyCrafstman's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Great work Ron. Must be very satisfying that everything fits. I like the approach that AHHQ has taken with the interiors so far. To think that a 1/16 kit can be around the $200 CAD/$150 USD price point and be fairly decent is amazing. -
Thanks for sharing the additional pics there Ernie. Peter, great insight into how judging works. Just wondering, can one display a model for the sake of displaying it and not have it part of the judging?

Nah, don't worry. My birthday was yesterday so you didn't.

Thanks for sharing the pics. Lots of great looking builds there.

Thanks everyone! They were some small chocolate bars but Jimmy is a big dog and the actual amount of chocolate in them was so small he should be fine.

1/16 scale Tiger VI Ausf E early build

Ron, my LHS has them listed now with a pre-order discount. $187 CAD which was a bit too tempting. Luckily for me, we're done having kids. -
"Alert 1 to Eagle 1, splash the Zeros!"- Tamiya F-14

More progress on this build. The ejection seat pull rings are done. I used the kit ones as the Aires ones don't include them. First up was a base of yellow. Then I masked them off using 0.7mm tape. Sprayed the black and unmasked them. Finally cut off the kit part and glued onto the seats. I also did the tail hook at the same time. Can't believe how much is still left. I keep thinking I'm almost done and then find some more small bits. -
Thanks guys! Sadly, while we were out for dinner the dog ate my present from our oldest. He was quite upset but I told him I appreciated the thought.

Andy's Hobby Headquarters has just announced a 1/16 M10 and Achilles tank destroyers. They're coming out in October for $149.99 each. They just got posted to my LHS so I broke down and pre-ordered the Achilles. -

Nice compressor Rob. Hope it works out well for you.

Great timing, I found a box that the wing parts fit in so I'll drop them off tomorrow at the post office. Carl -

FantAstic job on the finish. I wouldn't mind seeing a how-to on it too. -
Just have Martin whisper in your ear and it'll happen.

Final Countdown Tomcat done!
BlrwestSiR replied to ScottsGT's topic in LSM 1/32 and Larger Aircraft Ready for Inspection
Great looking Tomcat there Scott. Now that you've managed to tackle a couple Revell versions, you should try the Tamiya one. I wonder which is harder to put together at this point. -

Always great to watch you work your magic on a Corsair. I'm up to 12 Spitfires so a long want to catch up to you.
