    Son of Beech

    Thanks for the kind comments fellas. No John, it's a guy connected to aviation though. He's an engineer at a small airline in Western Canada. A fantastic modeler in his own right. I have pretty near got him convinced to join us here. I shall prod him a little more. As an aside, the guy for whom...

    Son of Beech

    Thanks for the kind comments guys, much appreciated. I have a Swine in the on deck circle. What's a Swine, you say? The Otter is known as a Stoneboat, mainly because it's about as fast as one. I don't know how the Turbo Otter became known as a Swine, but there it is. I've built probably a...

    Son of Beech

    Reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. :bgrin Actually, over the past four or five months I have been busy building another Beech 18 on floats, hence the title of the thread. Since I had already done a build log on a Beech and I didn't want to bore everyone to tears with a second...

    Kenn Boreks Twin Otter

    Uros here's a shot of the one I did for Mike Herrfurth. There's a whole mess of antennas on that particular airplane. I shipped it using the method I described - upside down in the foam - and all the antennas you see there except 3 were installed by me before shipping and they survived. The...

    Kenn Boreks Twin Otter

    Fantastic, Uros. :thumbsup I ship my models packed in the type of chipped foam you find in pillows. I add about 8 - 10 cm of foam in the bottom of the box, then place the model on the foam upside down so any shocks during shipment is absorbed by the wing structure and not the gear. Then I...

    Great work Uros. For the ski check cables on mine I used nylon monofilament fishing line, run the tip of a Sharpie over it to colour them.

    Kenn Boreks Twin Otter

    Great stuff Uros. :thumbsup There's nothing to see in the engine intakes, or that little ram air intake, so what I did with the one I built for Mike was to cut out two rounds of plastic, glued a little pull handle on them using a length of wire, painted them fluorescent orange and used them...

    She's gonna be a beauty. :thumbsup Those things are wing fences, or stall fences. They're way too thick, you did well to make new ones. Let me know if you need a shot of the nose ski installation that shows the way the ski check cables and bungees are rigged.

    Kenn Boreks Twin Otter

    Uros I don't know how much detail you intend to add, but there are two little towing lugs on the front of the nose ski. I hope Revell releases the Noorduyn also, I think I only have one of the old Model Craft kits left in the stash. If you want a Matchbox kit in 1:72 drop me an email, I have...

    1/700 scale 110-foot Commercial Freezer Trawler

    Fine job so far Rhino. It's great to see someone making a model of a working boat. Now you need a couple buckets of fish guts sloshed over the deck to really set her off. ;)

    CL-604 Air ambulance

    First class work Uros. :thumbsup I'm interested in what you used for the lenses also. Wonderful pics of that Swiss machine. Those various medevac interiors were probably done by the same company. There used to be an outfit in Montreal that did all kinds of special interiors like that...
