Great work Ian and I can't wait to see them 'in the flesh' - perhaps they will show up at our June meeting?

Reggiane 2000 , Sword model 1:72

Brilliant job on that model François - I would never be game to photograph my models in that size! Your paint work and construction are wonderful - well done. -
Vickers Vimy, Egypt 1922
Horatio Gruntfuttock replied to Saso Krasovec's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Absolutely stunning and thank you so much fro including the in-progress shots . It's hard to believe that there is the old Frog kit inside that miniature masterpiece. I'll go back to my butterfly collection now. -

Matchbox HP Heyford
Horatio Gruntfuttock replied to LightningBoy's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Nice job and it is one of Matchbox' best kits i reckon. You might even persuade me to get mine out of the 'store of doom'. -
An outstanding model Mike - well done . Your finish and rigging are just wonderful. Definitely a 'keeper'.

Beagle CC1 Basset help, please
Horatio Gruntfuttock replied to Horatio Gruntfuttock's topic in Modern - 1969 and onwards
Thank you all chaps - the shared info is really helpful, and John ( Nimrod54 - one of my musical favourites BTW!), your build was an absolute stunner and full of great tips , a million thanks. I can now make a heap of progress with my builds. AMB , the colours for royal aircraft is particularly helpful. Unfortunately I don't post images on BM as I find the rigmarole of using third party to host images a real PITA - sorry. However, I love looking at all your work from the Antipodes and have met up with a couple of you on my infrequent visits to England ( I caught up with Jonners at Farnborough in 2018), and i hopefully make appreciative comments about your masterpieces. If I am allowed to refer to AMWS ( another modelling web-site), then I will point you to Hyperscale where my work appears under the moniker of 'gcarter17'. Thanks again. -
Hi all, and a happy New Year to all. I have just begun building two Airfix Bassets as XS743 of the ETPS from the latest Air Graphics Testing Times sheet of decals, and XS770, as a flying one from the Queens Flight from the AirDecal sheet of a few years ago. Sanding the rivets back has been done and now I am up to interior work. Can any of you knowledgeable gents on the other side of the world help me with the interior colours. I rather like Adey's choice from his build a year or more ago but need a bit more detail. A deep dig on t'internet reveals a million shots of the canine version of a beagle or a basset but nowt on interiors; of the aircraft, not the dog!!. As a member of Air Britain I have drawn a blank there as well, so I am turning to the real experts! Thanks in anticipation of an avalanche of information!! Cheers from the Antipodes where it was balmy 28°C today, but the Barmy Army had not much to cheer about, unfortunately.

Piper PA24 Comanche - 1/48 Scratchbuild
Horatio Gruntfuttock replied to ianwau's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
What a brilliant project Ian and thanks for fully explaining your techniques. Can I assume that you are the Ian who I have known for decades and who turns up at APMA meetings with all sorts of great scratch builds? Can't be too many 'Wrenfords' with connections to the Snowy Mountains Authority in Australia!! I'm Graham from Bathurst BTW, just ignore my moniker.- 50 replies

A really lovely model from a beast of a kit - well done in the construction, modification and finishing departments - great job.

Sad news indeed and we lose another of the stalwarts of our hobby. I only met him once during a visit to the UK and Duxford in 2011 where I was introduced to him. He shared a few minutes of friendly chat ; he seemed a gentleman and I have fond memories of his Tailpieces and kit reviews in SAM, right up to the December edition which I received electronically a few days ago. I always liked his approach to his modelling which to a certain extent I share - "bugger the rivet counters!" Hope there are plenty of Hunters wherever you go Sir!

RAF late 1980's Training Aircraft project
Horatio Gruntfuttock replied to falcon's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
That looks just fabulous and thanks for building that collection and sharing it with us. -
FineMolds 1/72 Messerschmitt Bf109 F-4
Horatio Gruntfuttock replied to Lanmi's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Amazing results in 1/72 - well done and a tribute to your finishing skills. It could easily be 1/32 judging by your images. -
That is just mind-blowing - your skills are beyond my comprehension and the rigging is gob-smacking ( presumably you spent months training a spider to do all the hard work). This model ranks alongside the equally remarkable 1/600 'Victory' down in the Maritime forum. Thanks for sharing your work, and now I will pop back in my corner and sob gently to myself.
