Progressing nicely Dan, cockpit looks marvellous, as expected. The puttying of the wings will be interesting, along with the paint finish on them. Loving the attention to detail, as always. Darryl

So would I!! I had to clear the bench completely to allow access for the boiler to be serviced, almost embarrassed by the number of unfinished kits that are now looking accusingly at me! Anyway I've a skip coming later today, no, not for the kits but I certainly wont have any playtime soon. Phoned the skip company and asked if I could have a skip on the drive..... (Think we all know the punch line to that one! )

You've done some great work on the Jt, be nice to see it completed at some point and the KV is a new one on me, glad Paul gave it its name! No point rushing, my sentiment exactly.... Thanks for all your work and persistence in helping run the GB whilst also knocking out some great builds! Atb Darryl

Only 4, sure there's room for one more... Camo has turned out really well, hope we'll get to see the finished item? I know what you mean about those masks, I have one, so complicated its gives you a headache just looking at it never mind trying to use. Cheers

Great work and so very close to completion! Be nice to see it finished. Atb Darryl

Called in at the American car meet at Billy Bob's diner last Sun morning, good excuse to take the car out for gentle potter. Had to post this here it was just so striking, someone has done a remarkable job on the Capri. Obviously it's not American but it took me a minute or two to realise what it was when it drove in.

Really nice work with camo, the paint has gone down super smooth. From your pic it look as if it's been carefully masked and sprayed. Looking forward to seeing the finished job!

Just think with a little more effort......😉 How about some paint, that would be my suggestion.... Not wanting to be critical, for once. Can anything be done for the odd edges of the pe zimm are lifting? Probably the camera angle and the shadow but it draws the eye. Could always disguise with a tarp or foliage if necessary. Sorry for pointing it out feel like a right party pooper. Otherwise looking forward to seeing it painted. 👍 You did ask for it! Cheers

Good to see you back at it Bob, the KT looks the part under paint too.

Now I would say better get your finger out but on the occasion... At least the theme of neatness continues, if I'd have done that it would have been bundles of tissue wrapped in masking tape. Hope your on the mend and back at the bench soon.

It's all a bit of good humoured banter, I like to think folk would have been disappointed with anything less. 😉 (If you can't think of the one person in your family, or group of friends, then the chances are its probably...)

Nice to see you getting your finger out, at last, Keith. Good call on prepainting inside the hull and grills, just catches the eye when you see a nice model and then notice the bare plastic inside or beneath the grill. Nice pe work too, spade looks good Shame about the clamps. As I pointed out recently to the wife's niece when she excitedly told us she's just got a 2:1 degree. "What a shame, just think, if you'd just tried a little harder you could have had a 1st..." I was only trying to be nice..... Great work.

Looking really good James. The texturing to the armour really looks the buisness under paint. Nice tight demarcation to the green camo too. 👍 If it's still of use. When I painted the intake trunking on my RFM Tiger I sprayed them base colour of the tank, in your case that would be dunklegelb, followed by a really heavy, possibly black, wash to give it some depth. Just leaving the base colour on the raised ribs, for want of a better term. Great modelling Darryl

Just to put the cat amongst the pigeons, we had an Ideal boiler fitted 3yrs ago no problems 🤞 and have found a super plumber to go with it that services it yearly. He recommended Ideal over WB btw. The Nuisance in Law had a WB fitted and within months of the warranty ending something went internally over night (possibly the plastic manifold) and was urinating water out of it to such an extent the whole thing was scrap. Apparently this parts failure is not uncommon... Entirely agree on the smart meter stance too, sticking with the original analogue meters for as long as possible. No doubt a time will come when we will have to change but holding out as long as possible. Darryl

Nice work on the cockpit, it'll look great once in situ. Painting the legs and wheels etc is a nice idea at this stage too. It's always nice to have a well finished part sat on the bench to push the build along. Atb Darryl
