I love the large hammer for precision fitting of assemblies.  Marvelous work.

Yep, a precision tool at its best. Cheers Brian

Wow and wow with a bit more wow!

Many of those photos could easily be mistaken for a real workshop, the attention to detail is remarkable. I think that this is my favourite diorama of 2017.

The only thing missing is the cup of tea.

Gorby, Thanks for the marvellous comment, did try to scratch build a mug, but didnt work out.

Simply superb! Its the details like the laptop, the fire exit sign and the red tool rack that make this perfect. Its also a really clever way of showing off all the internal detail that these kits provide that is normally covered up.

 

Me likey.

Redshift, you're right, it was the detailing of the airframe that gave me the idea for the build. One of our club members was building the Typhoon (you can see the finishes article here:)

When he brought the model in as it was being built, you could see the amount of detail that was going to be hidden once it was complete.

The price did put me off for a while, until I pick up the kit for £35, I thought at that price I could chop it up.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Cheers
