    Very nice, neat work Alan, as usual. Really coming together now and that wheel bay is wonderful

    What Keith said - the linen really shows up on that last shot - lovely gubbly! More stunning stuff Johnny!

    Very smart Giorgio. It’s probably a good job you missed Telford. Although it would have been great to see you there was a guy selling precision masks for stencils! Not being there probably saved you a fortune 😊

    Great belts hendie - they look great to me and the pair tip has been filed (and probably lost). Coming together nicely with all your fettling

    ‘Maker’s name’, that was it John, thanks! Certainly does Giorgio, thanks for the tip! I know! Experienced I’d call it Still plodding on. I did mix up some PPP for filling shoulder gaps: Messy.

    I’m with you on the weathering – I can never get it looking realistic. I don’t think I’m quite arty enough.
  7. CedB
    I hope so John, otherwise where will I get my next 'fix'?

    Thanks Giorgio Some, yes, bits at a time. "There I was with nothing on the altimeter and that was fading fast…" Black primer on the equipment parts: Slow job this. I've done the flesh, brown overalls and some grey/blue but I think this will be the last general picture as it's quite boring… once the major colours are done on all of them I'll detail each one separately so I'll wait until I have each figure finished.

    Thanks Bill, Giorgio, James, Johnny and Simon I saw the FilmoPlast trick here on BM; takes paint well, very thin and great for this sort of thing. Thanks Bill Finally got a varnish coat on. Satin as recommended by The General. The transfers silvered - that'll teach me for not glossing first, again: I'll try some DullCote. Tricky Mavericks have been stuck on the racks but I'm not sure they're right, yet. We're here now:

    Great stuff Alan, especially that i/p. Looks like you're beating it into submission!
  11. CedB
    You're certainly going the extra mile with this one Johnny - great stuff. I have some, er, medical scissors that are great for fine work, Straight ones and curved ones available! Looking forward to Telford!
  12. CedB
    Wow, those engines look very realistic Bill. NFNB - Usual for Navy Bird! Looking forward to seeing you at Telford.

    Excellent update Johnny and good recovery on the decals! That linen looks nice eh?

    Cripes, painting the walkway markings now? I think I once used black primer and taped over it for the walkways but this is real dedication!

    Thanks Giorgio An afternoon spent wrapping tape around armaments. My poor eyes. The tape came off the board, mostly. HE head and active rocket motor fitted: Just HE heads: Some time later…
