    Nice solution Martin. Looks great once rivetted etc.

    Once you've seen it to scale with the fuse it's just even more astonishing! I'm not sure I could see parts that small never mind manufacture them.

    Great NMF as everyone has said Rob. I do like the durability of the Metal Colours but as you say the grain is a little prominent with some colours. However they don't stink like Alclad so that's a massive plus for me. Really like the effect with the photos on the mirror.

    Ha ha Free. I was going to post that too, but you beat me to it. Love a bit of Zappa. Snow doesn't always look white but put your 'white' dogs in the snow and you realise the snow is considerably whiter than the dogs!

    Looks great Jeroen, very lifelike.

    Hey Wumm, thanks for the concern. I have a respirator and paint booth, so I'm mitigating as much as I can. It's the residual odour my wife objects to. I also run to work everyday through town so I get regular pulmonary function checks which are always well above my age predicted normal, so all seems to be well.

    Thanks for the reply Peter. I pondered them for my Greek A-7 as they do make dedicated Hellenic sets but I bottled it and stuck with the Ammo acrylics I've used for the last few builds. Might give them a try for the next project.

    How do the lacquer smell Peter? That's always my (or my wife's) issue with lacquers and Mr Color got vetoed a while back. I'm hoping once our younger one goes to Uni in September I can 'convert' his bedroom and get some peace

    As Hubert says it get harder to tell which are the pics of the real thing!

    Niiiice!

    Eh???

    Hope you get back safe Harv. Some colleagues were in Seattle for a conference last week and had a nightmare getting back - some baggage is still 'en-route'! The unusual amounts of snow there has even made the news here in the UK

    Looking great Mark but I'm not sure I envy you having to add all those rivets.

    The lozenge material on the seat and back panel is stunning.

    Just the thought gives me a headache. I've never mastered the art of getting small enough amounts of CA to glue PE effectively without big blobs all over it, so I take my hat off to you for the pristine finish.

    Hope it goes well Rich and look forward to this getting a reboot.

    Good grief Danny that AA mount would suck all the joy out of me on it's own.

    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???....'
  24. GusMac
    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.
