Cookenbacher Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I hear you, canopies and spinners are where I've determined to focus my efforts recently as they never seem to turn out how I want - the results have been mixed. The weathering looks just like this, so I'd say a job well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 Thanks Cookie. Sadly, and although I have that photograph, I thought it was too much so cut it back a bit... oh well, best crack the poster paints out again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beard Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 The Seafire is virtually finished. I'll take some photographs later. In the meantime, here are some of animals that I saw today. Sleeping Caracal. Sleeping Mandrill A Common Marmoset (not sleeping). I assume it's a Common Marmoset because it picks it's nose at the dinning table and calls the loo the lav. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should take her to Monkey World in Dorset, if you haven't already, it's full of monkeys. As the name suggests. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has seen a leaflet for monkey world in a services on our travels which she has on the shelf buy her bed, very keen to go this summer!

I now have to finish a Defiant, cannon-armed Spitfire I, a Spitfire XIV and, a Beaufighter.

Cookenbacher Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Fantastic Seafire Simon, I think that Sword make the best elliptical wing - very pleasing to the eye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookenbacher Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I also meant to mention that I hope we get to see the rest of your builds that appeared here at some point - looking forward to the XIV, XIX(not Airfix IX?), XI, Defiant, Tempest and Beaufighter and the others I'm sure to have missed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Monkey World too, great place. Time I went to see some animals. Nice Seafire Simon and nice photos too. Looking forward to your next WiP!
