Is this the Mickey Mouse turret version???

SADLY!!! Don't do yourself down. If I'd built something like that once in my lifetime I'd retire happy!

I'll take that to the fourth power! n^4

If it's Photoshop Smitty, then Clunk's IT skills are as good as his build skills!

That picture almost looks like it's from the planet Hoth, Martin. Looking out for a snowspeeder somewhere..

Poor show to be that far off even by their standards. Windscreen does look a bit like my late father-in-laws homemade greenhouse though! Functional is probably the polite word for it.

Just so laughably good it's unbelievable....

Looking good Ryan. Was gonna post about fitting the spine inserts to the fuselage halves but you've beaten me to it. Doing it as per the instructions is just a shitshow.

4 little electric motors and just fly the damn thing. We fly smaller things out to the Hebrides here!

Didn't get all the US cartoons over here in the UK when I was a kid, but I always loved Secret Squirrel. The eye holes in the hat just used to crack me up!

Sorry to hear this Jeff. Our two Jack Russells are still pretty young, 8 & 6 yrs, so hopefully got a good bit of time with them but I'm not looking forward to losing them. We've lost 6 cats down the years and they seem to hurt more as we age ourselves. Last one went just over a year ago and I almost filled the hole with tears when I was burying her in the garden. Had to be a deep hole too, otherwise the bl***y dogs would dig her up again!

Joint looks pretty good. Hope the front is glued on well. I've cracked joints like that before trying to scribe over them!

This is just laugh out loud insanely good.

Been called a lot worse!

Lovely work with the counterweight Cees. As others have said, I can't criticise, only drool!

I suppose the hope was that nothing from 't'other side' ever got close enough to have a good look and notice the mistake!

Very funny Martin. Surprised there wasn't a PS saying 'no more of the terrible music either please'.

Nice Martin. I'd say you can never have too much of the Ammo stuff. The Oilbrushers are great. I got the bulk set for my birthday from the missus and have been playing about with them and they are very easy to use and work well with the odourless thinners.

Great progress Trigger. Love the pics before and after the gloss coat on the cowl. Great physics lesson in the difference between diffuse and specular reflection. (Sorry, I know it's sad, but I'm a physicist and I can't help it! Forgive me!)

Thanks for the explanation Ernie. Love that it was just simple cock-up and they left it!

Nice Ernie. Never seen the stars'n'bars with the star segmented like that. Does it represent something specific?

So cool that they built and flew them. Plan seems to be to fly back down via many of the countries they missed on the way 'up'.

Brilliant Cees. You do have some interesting items in your living room!?

Looking great Cees. Love the wear on the floor.

Great looking result. As has been said the weathering is lovely and subtle.
