I remember years ago on LSP, Brian going all ot on the kit - loads of possibilities. Looking forward to following your build. Don’t get your hopes up! I want it to look more like a bar display assembled by a half drunk beer tender than a model build by an all the way drunk modeler. Example, all Beaver pics (Google that very carefully) show floats in natural aluminum. All liquor advertising Beavers are all yellow. Floats, mounts, plane, everything. Funny thing is, my floats are two different shades of yellow. Like they came from two different IM batches. Of course if I paint them, I have to paint everything. So they’ll stay mismatched. 4
BlrwestSiR Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Just putting the final coat of varnish on my new workbench: 36' long and 6' wide. I think I'll be able to start my entire stash on this one and still have room. Don't I wish. It's the cutting table at work that I've been refinishing for the last couple weeks. 6 1 4
Peterpools Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Martin, awesome and now you can model an entire squadron of Border Lancasters. 2

ScottsGT Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 Hmmmm…what to do? I want the all yellow advertising model but the modeler in me is pushing me to paint the floats aluminum. Especially when one half is a different shade of yellow plastic. I did polish the plastic. Wow! What a difference it made. 6 1
Peterpools Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 Scott Looking good. Aluminum floats do sound like the way to go. 1

Too late. 😁 I stuck to my guns and did it as the bar display. All decals applied, floats glued on and letting it dry before I hang it up and call it done. 6

AlanG Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 Been a long 2 weeks on the farm and not had chance to sit at the bench. Finally got some bench time before the Six Nations started today. Painted various pipes and wires so that the last few pipes can be added on top. Looking good if i do say so myself lol 8 1
