1/8 Mad Max Jim Goose's MFP Police pursuit bike
ModelMonkey replied to Lee Chambers's topic in Work In Progress - Vehicles
"Don't write off the Goose until you see the box going into the hole!" Good work so far - following with interest. -
Weathering and attention to detail - exhausts, large fuel tanks and chips look perfect to me! I've got the same kit in the stash and was thinking of a similar tribute, possibility with some of the new Masterbox figures. Great work.

Look great yep. Checked my completed one and I didn't actually manage to get much sag in without heat. I was too nervous to apply any heat so mine are still taut looking.
-
Looking good so far! I did one fairly recently and just very carefully bent the tracks with no heat applied to get a bit of sag. I maybe just got lucky though! Probably safer with some heat.

Holidaying near Keswick just now and treated to an Osprey a few days back but today was the real treat, 2 x F35's (I think) and 2 flypasts from a quartet of F15's.

I got by with one of these and a cheap Clark compressor for my first few year: https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/000511320/?da=1&TC=GS-000511320&gclid=CjwKCAjw5NqVBhAjEiwAeCa97Yl8CYrwarzw3jbCn-3VYaQ80Ug_3Mb3GwYMwRg0tAsgPG_Gx7oPGhoCD58QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

"Tankers" is also worth a watch - lots of KV1 and T34 action:
-
Welcome! They look great - a good variety of subjects too. Currently visiting Glasgow!

Revell 1/72 Millennium Falcon
ModelMonkey replied to Andy J's topic in Ready for Inspection - SF & RealSpace
One step at a time Andy! Currently still at the planning stages - i.e. I've not bought the kit yet. Will see what else I've got on the go once I get it. I've never done a WIP before so perhaps this would be a good time to start... -
Revell 1/72 Millennium Falcon
ModelMonkey replied to Andy J's topic in Ready for Inspection - SF & RealSpace
To be fair, I'm lucky that Mrs. Modelmonkey is largely ambivalent to my hobby. In fact recently after only 17 years of marriage I was permitted to put my 1:24 Routemaster on the bookcase in the lounge. Who knows - maybe there's hope for the Falcon... -
Revell 1/72 Millennium Falcon

Thanks! I might need some intervention from the force as I bring home another kit for the stash.... 1:72 Falcon box will be too big to sneak into the house... -
Revell 1/72 Millennium Falcon
ModelMonkey replied to Andy J's topic in Ready for Inspection - SF & RealSpace
Thanks Andy! Whatever it is it looks great! You've inspired me, as has my daughter who got me the Haynes manual for the Falcon for my birthday. I smell a purchase.... -
Revell 1/72 Millennium Falcon
ModelMonkey replied to Andy J's topic in Ready for Inspection - SF & RealSpace
Looks fab - I'm swithering over the 1:144 Bandai one vs 1:72 Revell. Was this the level 3 Revell one? -
SPINEFIN ZOID.
ModelMonkey replied to rockpopandchips's topic in Ready for Inspection - SF & RealSpace
Looks great! I had loads of Zoids as a kid, which I'd love to revisit for a similar project as you've just done, but they were all handed down to cousins. -
Looks great! I'd wondered about that Tamiya set for myself and they look really good - great sense of action/movement.
