Love the C-130 gunship. -
What is on your bench right now ? Share a picture :)

She is definitely better looking than Taime Downe and almost certainly a better singer despite being resin. Man couldn't carry a tune in abucket! -

That looks really good. Never seen one of these conversions done before and it looks perfect. -
Not the cheapest loft insulation I've seen Dean! Would it be quicker just to list what you don't have.... BTW, welcome to LSM.

I'd back up Carl's comment about the PWMP tail. I also found it easier to splice it onto the kit part rather than using the entire resin piece. It's easily done and gives a nice result. I'm not sure how JP van Regenmortel operates now, I think I emailed him directly back when I ordered mine.

Looking forward to seeing how this works. I've always wondered how the joints looked on these. -
That looks stunning Rob. Can't believe you got all those little masks done with any bleeding under the edges.

Looking great Rob. The metal effects are really effective, especially on the main hull.

That is an art. I always marvel at the huge copper stills at the distilleries over here - always unique and just so beautifully made. Have seen a house up in the NW Highlands where a couple of old ones have been turned into bedrooms!!

I used to do a lot of skiing when I still had cartilage in my knees and there was a great hotel up Glenshee called the Blackwater Inn which had a landlord who was from Kentucky. How the hell he ended up there I've no recollection, but it did have a great selection of Bourbons, so we sampled quite a few! Don't remember all of them but I remember Rebel Yell, Jim Beam, Wild Turkey and Makers Mark. Generally not a huge fan of whisk(e)y which isn't Scottish but they were all decent (honourable mentions for Suntory and Bushmills), so Ernie I kinda forgive you!

SACRILEGE!! Although not the best whisky out there, that's still a very nice drop there. It's not known as 'water of life' for nothing. Say that in Scotland and you'll deported asap.

Now that's true attention to detail!!!

Where do you find these Martin?? And back to the topic... TJ those are wonderful sentiments and this is the first place I come for a bit of sanity and light relief at the moment. I hope the airline industry recovers fast enough for you. My brother worked for FlyBe over here and they went down right at the start. He's lucky in that he picked up a supermarket job very quickly and is at least bringing some cash in.

Very cool video Dale. Your pupil seems to have a very good rapport with the bass player and the singer is also very good. Hope they have a bit of success and lots of fun with it. -
Very neat Rob. Definitely a job to strain the eyes!

Our local micro brewery is still doing deliveries and has now added frozen pies to their repertoire, so I feel a pie and a pint coming on!! -
Ooh, that dinghy looks really nice Rob. Glad the post finally got through. Did they swim from the mainland?

Share how COVID-19 Quarantine has affected you.
GusMac replied to 1to1scale's topic in General Discussion
It's a really interesting area as no-one has a true handle on the number of asymptomatic people in their population. Singapore and South Korea probably did the highest proportion of the trace and test paradigm and it seems to have worked for South Korea but Singapore are now implementing a form of lockdown. There certainly does seem to be a correlation between testing and quota as Germany probably has the most effective testing set up in Europe currently due to their huge diagnostics industry and they have a seemingly low death rate compared to other adjacent countries as they're testing a lot more of the mild and asymptomatic cases. As Rob says it's only really after the fact when you can look at the excess deaths, etc that the true patterns and stories emerge. A big one is how many are dying of Covid compared to those dying with Covid ie in how many is it the primary cause of death rather than just speeding things up slightly. Anyway, hope all here keep safe and well. -
Looks great Rob. That's very fine work detail painting in that scale!

The videos on their website certainly seem to show them sagging very realistically - the resin is very soft. They also supply an asymmetric 'bulge' on the hub which can be sanded or trimmed to give a desired degree of sag. They certainly look very nice but they don't yet have a product for anything in my stash, although they do seem to be producing new stuff pretty quickly.
