Hockeyboy76 Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 Matt black has been sprayed on and left to dry over the weekend. Also a coat of Future has been brushed over ready for decals. Hope to get cracking next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nimrod54 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Nice start bud, good to see that the old 1/144 peepers are still in working order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had a problem seeing close up, it’s the distance that gets a bit foggy, but that just could be the local welsh weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just before Mrs N and I were married, I had been having problems with my distance vision and decided that after our wedding I would go for an eye test. To cut a long story short, four weeks later I had the test and needed glasses. A couple of weeks after the test I picked up my new specs and went home to my new wife. Caron was quite keen to see how the vision correction apparatus looked, not having seen them up to this point. As I walked in through the door, the first words out of my mouth were 'Good God! I haven't married you have I?'. She has had to put up with quite a lot of such abuse over the past 35+ years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure you meant it all in the nicest way If your going to put your foot in it you might as well just jump completely in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeyboy76 Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 A bit more progress on the Lancaster, u/c struts and doors fitted, working on the front glazing before fitting the front turret. Props have had tips painted yellow, masked and now drying under a coat of Matt black. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 She’s starting to fight me now, the bomb bay doors didn’t fit, kept dropping off even with super glue, fingers crossed they will stay in place this time. Not as much progress as I would like, unfortunately/ fortunately a job has got in the way, car needed a new water pump, which became a new block and all the gubbins. Not much change from £2000 Anyway 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajmm Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Looking good! I haven’t yet braved my Amodel Lanc but this is inspiration if ever I needed it! Beautiful stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 Finished, but she fought me to the finish line, problems with the props and spinner covers, u/c doors, clear parts, the list goes on. Anyway he’s a teaser photo, more to come when I get some better light 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
