    Hopefully the way I intend.......

    Good to see you here Scott. Some serious woodworking skills there.

    What are the brakes like on that Clunk? Two tons with the sort of momentum you'll generate at 60 mph in 6 secs will take bit of stopping! If they're like our cars of that era though, the brakes will be essentially worthless.

    Okay, quick update on progress. Primed with Mr Surfacer 1500 and marble coat with a variety of colours. Hoping that this will give a good start to the weathered effects with a thin layer of the grey over it. Last picture highlights a few issues I had with over-thinning and too high a pressure but hopefully will be fine after the top coat.

    I'm not even sure knitting captures the difference in skill-set here between Peter and the ham-fisted like myself. Maybe Large Scale Finger-painters might be close! Just stunning work again Peter.

    Great picture, although you do think, 'How???....'

    That first pic looks 'interesting'! I imagine a change of underwear was called for.

    Nice IP Mark. Last operational RAF Tornados arrived back in the UK from Cyprus today. Will be gone by the end of March. Scary, I clearly remember them coming into service and built the Revell (?) 1/72 kit of the Panavia prototype as a kid.

    Martin, that truck bottom right in your winter picture looks like it's wearing the Cockney 'Pearly King' cammo!

    Make him a scarf out of tissue and white glue! Won't quite match with the shorts and short-sleeve shirt but hey.....

    Lovely result Danny and a great save on the Dottie decal.

    Cockpit looks great. Given how small the canopy is I'm not sure how much will be seen anyway.

    Hi Dennis, the plan is for a well worn Greek scheme but exactly which airframe isn't decided yet. I think I'm going to get the base colours on first and then go from there. Gus

    That M4A3 looks like you could drive around in it once it's finished. Huuuuge!

    That wing to fuselage joint is very neat given all the work going on.
  16. GusMac
    Nice subtle result. It does bring to mind an old debate one of our physics lecturers liked to have about 'how black is black?'

    The Ammo panel line washes are very good and there are a few shades of grey you could switch between to very the 'dirtiness'

    I'm desparate for a Spey engined bird but not enough to try and do this to an expensive kit! I grew up just across the river from Leuchars, so saw the 111 and 43 squadron machines doing 'circuits and bumps' all the time. Come on HKM tell us the status! Hats off Cees, that's a great start and I'm sure this will be easyish compared to the Manchester.

    Ooh, that's a real shame. Don't know an easy fix for that as NMF is outwith my experience other than a very lame attempt when I first got back into the hobby using rattlecan Tamiya AS-12. Hope you get is sorted as it's looking very cool otherwise.

    Lookin good Rob. Those metallics do look great.

    Once again just laughably good. Stunning to observe your work Peter but it does make me feel as though I'm knitting with spaghetti by comparison.

    That pic sums up why biplanes give me the heeby-jeebies! The thought of getting all that rigging sorted is frightening. Gonna look stunning
  23. GusMac
    Thanks Jeroen. The open hatches should certainly add some real interest to the build.

    Is the plywood just a liner for mounting the tanks?
  25. GusMac
    Way to make life difficult for yourself Mark! Result should be stunning though
