Was a model maker LONG before I ever messed with a watch.

Well, here is what I have been working on for about the last week and a half. Still a LOT of rivets to be added, and other small minor details, but these are the majority of the corrections and rework on the trails. The travel locks were more a case of "can I actually do this and make...

Really looking good Paddy! There is so much tiny detail in the center of that engine, that it would be a nightmare to even try and replicate it. Glad it is hidden and you don't have to try.

Looks like you have nailed the true flavor of New Jersey with these.

Looking good Gary!

Making some really good progress on the mods and went off tangent to make the gun mount locks actually "WORK"!! Brass tubing, #1-72 screws and tap, lathe work and rework. I have one working, now to do the other one for the other side. No photos till the main mods are all done as they will be...

Bob, if I remember an old conversation I had years ago, the Roden triplane isn't even a true DR1. It is an F1 or something like that. Very similar, but different, as in "prototype" different. The Roden kit might be decent, but just "different". Your model your build.

Sounds like you have been fighting with the Typo Monster there Paddy! It is an ongoing issue with me, but in many cases it has to do with the Corsair Gaming keyboard and the super sensitive keys that it has. I never had this much trouble with my older keyboard, but it also had keys that...

I just asked as that was a vehicle I had never seen before. I could tell it was British, and a recon tank as it was way too light with a BIG gun on it. Ian, I always love you building something from a photo rather than something just made up.

It's a harlequin tank! Meaning it is a bunch of different colors because of different parts. Like the 90's VW Harlequin Golf.

Neat photos to go by. Anyone know what those 8 wheeled tracked vehicles are trundling down the middle of the street?

My guess is that it now weighs in at a bit more than it did.

Interesting vehicle Ian! It was probably a good idea until Ukraine deployed the attack drones. I am sure that the Ukraine soldiers flying the drones would see that and say "Hmm big missile box, TARGET!" (BOOM)

Looks like you are about ready to add the clear coat and decals which means you are past the build work. Looking good!

If there is anything from the WNW site that you couldn't get like reference photos, I downloaded everything right after they went bonk. It took a while, but I got it all. There was also a sister site that was actual aircraft reproductions that had a huge amount of photos that I also glommed on...
