  1. Good progress. Love the 'stringered' top, will be interesting to see how that looks under a coat of paint. Stuart
  2. What we see here is Steve in his element; drills, saws and 'blastard' files. Nice progress but like our alien friend, I want to see how you do the cockpit sides. Stuart
  3. I go away for a few days and look what happens! You're building not one but two spits and they're are nearly finished...looking very tidy indeed. I thought this was going to be an OOB build but being the tool tart you are, you just had to get drills out and stuff. Good show. Stuart
  4. For a first time 'copter build I think you've done a brilliant job. I've only ever built two myself and I don't find them fun at all. See you on your next build. Stuart
  5. Beautifully built Spit and even more amazing when it's 1/72. Lovely group shot.
  6. Yet to build an Airfix Sabre, so it's useful to see the fit issues. Stuart
  7. All looking dandy so far Steve. One could ask Stevo, why didn't you tackle the wings earlier so save building 80%... Stuart
  8. Amazing work that needs more patience than I have. Good work Crisp.
  9. That rotor head looks very neat and with the stickers now on, the Hind is looking the biz. Nice work Ced.
  10. Looking very nice. By the sounds of it, after the clean up, it'll be very close to painting. Stuart
  11. A little update before I pack for my holiday. Both tanks received lengths of thin copper wire. This is to represent the seams that are so noticeable on the full size tanks. And after a blast of primer we clearly see the tank seam. I believe we're at the paint stage stage now but you'll have to wait until I'm back from my cruise. Stuart
  12. A good recovery from the varnish problem. A lovely looking Nightjar, a rare build indeed. Stuart
  13. Heavy tools at work. Avro coming along nicely. Stuart
  14. Thanks for the feedback guys. Beefy- The wooden base idea I got from Flankerman. I mounted the sub onto about 20-30 'bilge blocks' and I pinched that idea from one of the ship WIPs. Ken- I got the figs off evilbay, Tamiya 1/350 Ship Crew figures 144 pieces # 12622, about £9. Steve- Modern subs, British in particular are a boring black, you can only use 'shade's of black in matt and satin. After that, it's the addition of figures for scale effect. Stuart
  15. ...yes, lets.... Who can explain PS-U's flash and PS-Z fuselage roundel?
  16. Flickr aren't using the same programmers as TSB are they... Yeah, rotors looking good.
  17. All you can do is best effort with the data available...who's going to tell you that it's wrong anyway.
  18. ...or you can find an image of her sister ships...just saying. Stuart
  19. Lovely model and well presented, especially the 'night sortie' photo, very life-like. I had to have a double-take on those rocket pod tanks, never seen them before.
  20. Terry and Håkan, thanks. Done a little detailing on the tanks last night, hopefully an update tomorrow as I'm having some well deserved beers tonight Stuart
