Martinnfb Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I haven't paid attention to this GB until recently, and that was a mistake. Photobucket killed John's Meteor, so here are some clicks to prove that this really happened 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkarlsen Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Thank you much LSM and Neil of HK Models, this is just great news. Congrats to the other, participants. It's now almost tree years since I finished the 'Old Ironsides III' (June 2016) as a tribute to the Author of Catch-22, Joseph Heller. The finished diorama of the Alesani Airbase in Corsica... Now the Lancaster is a Giant compared to the B-25; and will have to put on my 'thinking cap', in order to come up with an idea on how I will 'tackle' the display of this 'Monster'. Cheers: Kent 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert Hi Hubert, just wanted to make sure, I didn't mean any offence. I just cannot keep my motivation going if the project hasn't got some kind of angle. Believe me, it's a bit of a 'curse', I've been trying to 'shake' it off repeatedly, without any success... In fact the 'angle' is expanding. Happy modelling: Kent 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually admire and am in awe of your dedication to get the best and superdetail the kits you start. When I see you tackle a new subject, it is with trepidation, because I know you will put your magic to it, and produce an unique masterpiece. Of course, you are not an OOB kind of guy, much to our collective pleasure. Can’t wait to see you Aeromarine conversion finished, btw Hubert PS: re your Aeromarine conversion. Great find with the Preiser figures. I would advise a quick check about their size, though. I had to hack a few mm off the legs of one Preiser figure I want to use on my still-in-being Gee Bees’ build. Without this surgery, he’d be a real giant 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without this surgery, he’d be a real giant Well lucky me, these Preiser figures seem to be right 'on the money, as far as I can tell. At least their height is almost identical to the CSM pilot's. I was surprised that they would even fit into the wicker chairs... Cheers: Kent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent sold this kit immediately after he received it, so I wouldn't expect much in the way of in progress pics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
