  1. Terry, Terry, Terry, there's taking your time and then there's stalling. That Vosper is definitely glacial. Stuart
  2. Beautiful work there Jeff. Stuart
  3. Well I must say your Great Eastern is looking rather splendid, so that means all your mods and corrections has worked well. Keep up the good work. Stuart
  4. Lovely work with the interior but that vacuform canopy looks like a right pain to fit. Stuart
  5. Loving the look of this, very colourful. Stuart
  6. Love the look of these lifeboats and yours is looking very promising. Like you, I'd be putting these boats on a base and cutting the hull to the waterline isn't the easiest job to get right but you'll get there. Stuart
  7. With the Cessna drying after priming, thought I'd a little update. With the side voids filled, my attention turned to some interior detail. I added a throttle block to the i/p. I added seat supports to the rear of the seats and scratched some cabin side seats. Everything internally was primed. Stuart
  8. Cheers Jeff, I shall take a look at your supplied link. Thanks, much appreciated. Main parts primed. Stuart
  9. Interesting subject with lots of detail, looking good. As a matter of interest, will the bonnet be up to expose the engine? Stuart
  10. Loving the look of this. Would like one of these in my collection of 'floaters' but I have to limit it to single engine types. Stuart
  11. I popped into the LMS to see if there was a product that would shiny canopies... And AK had a pot of 'milk' that done just the job, a quick dip, dry overnight and et voila, now fitted in its place. Also fitted the ventral fin on the underside together with a little more touch ups. Added bilge caps to the floats. These were made from 3mm disks of masking tape as they're not very pronounced on the real thing, also added tie-downs to the front end. Stuart
  12. Nice work there Adrian. Love the rigging, especially those twin lines. Stuart
  13. Cheers Terry. I have no decals, so I found this on Flickr: Overall white, splashes of blue and yellow, grey/dull aluminium floats and dark serials. Good enough for me. Stuart
  14. With the seems sorted, a primer coat will confirm that or not, I turned my attention to the front window. The window was nowhere near as he 'half sucked Glazier Mint' rear window but bad enough to get the Micro-mesh pads out. T would've liked to have dipped the window to make it clearer but I don't have anything to do the job, ho-hum. Anyways, the window was offered up for best fit and the above gap was found, about 0.5mm . A shim was added to the verticals and across the top. Stuart
  15. Thanks for that Rob, noted and thanks for the reassurance with the decals. As the filler hardens on the Cessna, back to the Norseman. I have seen a number of builds where modellers have gone the extra mile with the internals and I'll be doing the same here to a limited extent. The Norseman had rather thick fuselage walls, so using some 0.5mm plasticard, internal walls were added. And the windows and a door were cut out. Next, filler will be used to fill the void between the side walls. Stuart
