Regarding your filming; I hope it goes well. I heard that Hugh Grant, and Kristin Scott-Thomas are already confirmed, with Mike Newell back in the director's chair . Not as catchy a title as 'Notting Hill', but 'Four Pullings and a Beavertail' is sure to be a hit! Thanks TT! If only the filming were that glamorous. 'Four Pullings and a Beavertail'? By any chance did you see the prequel that the Daily Mail called 'this summer's feel-good enema sensation''? 'Four Weddings and a Funnel'... 16 hours ago, CedB said: Great stuff Tony and I'm pleased you have a set that you're happy with - they look good to me Four pulls in one afternoon?

All that pulling eh? Bravo my good man. Really chugging along now. Looking forward to see how you get the detailing done. All I can think about is sanding at the moment. . My thanks for that Johnny. I do hope that is from significantly drier premises that you now write sir. 14 hours ago, corsaircorp said: Very nice job Dear Baron, May be another way to scratchbuilt an Avro Bison after all. Seem to work well Oh No, not another stupid idea from my Chimay distorted mind. Chimay-away on that Bison Cc. Would love to see that! 1 hour ago, AlexN said: Excellent work! Nice :). I still can't understand why you split the thing vertically, even after your explanation I probably didn't make it clear enough Alex - if the split was horizontal (upper/lower, as I'd originally planned), then the cut would run along each side right through where there are two port holes and a doorway on either side to cut out later. I didn't want the seam to be weakened by being penetrated in three places on each side. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTiger66 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I've just cottoned on. Rivet decals. Positive rivet decals. Splendid idea . There are some good examples of NMF models out there, looking rather marvellous with these in place. That penny took a very long time to drop indeed. It's the Paracodol, it really is . Things are going full circle; I remember in my teens, painting an Airfix B-25, admitedly extremely over-riveted, silver first. Then olive drab, then sanding the drab off here and there, so that the rivets would show through; a first attempt at weathering. Some modelling books would suggest sanding positive rivets off, applying metal foil, then putting negative rivers back in *one-by-one* with a pointy thing . Now we're looking at a little popularity for the positive rivet again. Good stuff, I like them a lot . Go on Mr. Baron, it will look superb. Best regards The mad riveter (unmasked). 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've seen Crisp's munificent Sea King rivettage that currently defines the true state of the art in this area Tony? Just as I buy a rivetting pounce he changes the rules, or rather, opens a new era of obsession exploration. A modern-day Frobisher no less. I'm therefore looking towards the Northwest Passage HGW as a potential route: http://hgwmodels.cz/en/30-172-scale 0.6mm and 0.7mm - presumably this is the spacing between each rivet? I may need Paracodol soon as well... 16 minutes ago, Pete in Lincs said: Thank goodness he's so far away. And living in Canberra too. That probably explains it. Nothing much else to do there.

Pete in Lincs Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Two people, one with a rivet gun, the other with the reaction block , separated by the aircraft skin. In a noisy hangar, trying to hear each other, so can't wear ear defenders. SET! SET! RIVET! RIVET! NEXT! (or bu&&er, drill it out) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for that, yer Baronshipness, that is a very satisfactory explanation for dimwit here. And I don't have Mr Tiger's excuse reason, either. It's all that sawdust, you see. Nice photo there from Mr Tiger, makes a good excuse to pop down to Canburrow to pay him a visit . Did I say that I am coming to loathe typing things in forums on the ipad? Suckfari, well, sucks.

71chally Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) With the side by side split of the molding approach Tony, won't the underside upwards opening door be much harder to do, and also create a weaker seam join, weaker than the side doors and portholes? Or are you doing it all closed (unlikely I hope!) Many thanks for your very kind offer, and PM inboundeth!

I just didn't fancy having to cut portholes and doorframes into seams and am more content to simply rejoin the two halves of the upwards opening (did we ever work out what the correct name for that part was btw?) door as the lesser evil. It also means I can stick the port and starboard sides of the rear fuselage on to the respective sides of the kit prior to closing up in order to continue on the existing interior wall detailing.
