He doesn't remember because of the tree gymnastics..... :drunk

Hahaha yeah I guess it would now wouldn't it? I'm pleased with what I came up with. The foam block is wedged securely in a giant box (so big is its size), the remaining space filled with parcel paper, peanuts, airbags and anything else that was light that could take some impact if -heaven forbid...

Well folks, packing this thing was a damn chore. My wife had to bring boxes home from work until we found one that fit - and it only just fit (not this box) I wanted a box that I could enclose the model in. I wasn't about to risk cutting a larger box down, because I wanted the strength of a...

Aside from my build thread here? lol I just had notes written on the instructions.And hours of aggravation.

It's almost like we're best friends or something.

Looks good buddy, Yet another build of yours with 4 wheels. Almost has as much airtime as some of those rally cars you managed to finish. I hear it 'looks dirty'? Photo 3 is keeping up foreign relations.

Right from the get go I said that I was going to write up a walk through of the kit's instructions. The instructions were the kits biggest flaw and I'm hoping to help out future builders. With the Mosquito making a return this calendar year, I thought I’d take the time to write up some of...

Beautiful as always Chuck. Those exhausts are just stunning. It takes a lot of work to give a model this much depth when it's not heavily weathered. I applaud you.

SAM (the magazine) just changed their Facebook background to one of these prints, I asked where it came from and they provided the link to this treasure trove. http://www.luijken.com/

Chuck - you forgot the link for the handy guide. :facepalm

Oh awesome. As long as the colourcoates survive.

Beauty beauty beauty! I'm still too scared of pigments to try them.

Especially when you consider that the ship was moving forward, so the Harrier was too, at the exact same speed as the ship - while taking into account windspeed across the deck.

Just awesome. And you thought the 'fall backwards' trust test was scary.

Airfix 1/24 Mosquito build log For those asking for a size reference Something we've likely all built - Tamiya's 48th scale Stang Thanks so much everyone for following along and being so patient with me. I'm very happy with the end result and I appreciate that my hard work has...

Airfix 1/24 Mosquito build log Right? I opened the kit the day I received it and thought 'Weird, no gunports in the nose cone :hmmm ' And then I realized I was looking at one of the spinners. I can take a photo of the kit next to something again for size reference. Any ideas guys? A 48th...

Airfix 1/24 Mosquito build log Thanks guys - I'm really pleased with how she came out. Phantom - the chutes are made from the same rubber as the tires. It's awfully stiff stuff - only made more difficult by the fact they're not the right size (too tall) so you have to twist them, hold them...

Airfix 1/24 Mosquito build log Here it is folks - the Encore, the true gand finale. To start it, in a bid to instill confidence in all of those new to our hobby, I present this - the evolution of my own personal model making. From left to right is the 1/32nd scale Revell Mosquito - I built...

Airfix 1/24 Mosquito build log Well folks; Here you have it - the last update of this build. We've crossed the finish line and the only thing left to do is box her up and ship her out. Here's the last day of assembly. You will likely remember that I scrapped the plan to use the Master...

Ha! You don't know me very well. Ships scare me. What did you use for the dry pigments? Pastel? MiG? Which colours?
