You may do as you see fit sir.

Thanks but, as mentioned before, I've no interest in the 3d printed model....none, zero, zip zilch... I'm not going for accuracy, more like striving for mediocrity. I'm kinda getting the feeling I should maybe stop posting images and just enjoy my build? There seems to be a push to go with the...

seems a slippery slope I'm on. The airplane I've saved pictures of has different lumps and bumps than the one shown above. To be blunt this'll be merely a representation more than a duplication of any kind. I think it may eventually look something like an Aurora but not one exact aircraft...

That's great but, this was free and a learning project. I've made a bit of progress, not much but anything is something. I've sanded away the backing from most parts of the model, fuselage still needs to be done. Hannants have emailed me my props and flaps I'm going to cobble in are in the mail...

I hear you on the decals thing! It’s the one part of modelling I dislike, I’ve had all kinds of issues with decals over the years. The first few may have been the decals fault but after being stung even by aftermarket decals some issues may have been due to my own lack of faith and/or poor...

Why build?…now that’s a deep disturbing question. perhaps the pleasure….pleasure? hmmmm often it can be a struggle in any case I think it’s to create something? I’m not to fussy about the actual build in many cases but the fun comes during the painting stage. I guess I build to paint. oddly...

Agreed….vague suggestions at times

still working on the Orion, a bit of progress (ish) pencilling in for panel lines; one nacelle is a bit...crooked. one engine under construction next to a virgin example Thanks for looking

Ha! I usually cut everything wrong, crooked and, messed up and use three tons of filler...yup vac is a whole new ball game Oooorrrr possibly a heart stopper? No landing gear, the props would be crazy hard to make work, spinners are soft/ vaguely shaped. No antennas or other fine details. It'll...

Confirming that the cheese has indeed well and truly slid off my cracker...another ID Models vac kit (another gift from a friend who'll never build it) surgery has already begun an idea of the size leaning against my airbrush air tank stand It'll need aftermarket landing gear, props...

So this went together like it was on a mission...having taken a day or two off after finishing the Hudson (and to clean up all the sanding dust and scrap plastic) I started gluing this little beauty together. I added some aftermarket to it but ended up using almost all kit ingredients. This was...

Nice! sooooooo….you’ll be able to photoshop out any mistakes too then right?

Where's Stoneboat?! He'd build it...would need a few beer cans and all that but, ya. He could do it Stoneboat? Where are you?

Thanks mates! I showed pictures to a fellow (local, as in the same city) club member who promptly brought me a gift of his “I’m not gonna build this either“ castoff 1/48 P3C Orion, (I’ve already begun the Revell 1/32 Hunter) so, with time to work I’ve begun looking into what’s it gonna take to...

So....I'm calling it done. I'm sure I missed some details but for the biggest part I'm quite happy with it. The build offered a learning opportunity that can be used on future builds. As well, I now have a 1/32 aircraft subject that not many others will have. without further yapping. The...

I’ve built one ship model, academy’s 1:350 boxing of Tamiya‘s Bismarck released as Tirpitz. That project took me 7 years to finish. Actually no, that’s wrong. I built the model in about 4 months, the other 6 2/3 years was masking the splinter scheme and painting it. a buddy cranks out nothing...

Still moving ahead, got the control surfaces glued on and added the engines and cowls, the cowls are a friction fit over the engines so they may be removed if desired. Thanks for looking

Thanks for the encoureagment! I've added the SAC main gear legs and Reskit wheels. Although these parts are for the Trumpeter 1/32 P-38 it's also a Lockheed product so...there ya go At least it's got landing gear under it now. Thanks for looking

Most masking and paint splashing done, I'm back to work butchering plastic again. I used tape and wet paper masks to do the camouflage. work continues, such as it is...

Yep! That’s the other one I use
