Tom are you going to have this ready for southern EXPO. Clive

Hi all does any of you know when the 1/144 Roden BOAC VC10 is going to appear on the shelves. Clive

Nice very well done sir. Clive

Hi Kev any updates buddy. Clive

You done good there buddy for a first timer in a long time, as for weathering its an art and it is very difficult to replicate and get it looking rite but it all comes with practice. Clive

Hi the wings are near completion Pat here's a pic. Clive

Hmmmm doesn't seem to be a lot of interest for this on here I'll just say thanks for the few that did find this of interest cheers Clive

Hi So this is not a model i could see at a model show, this is a computer generated model only and can only be viewed on a computer as a picture in 3D. I only ask as I'm confused as to where this is a plastic model forum and this what you're doing albeit very clever is a computer generated model that can only be displayed on a computer am I getting there sorry I really am trying to understand this. I build plastic model kits along with the majority on here, some of them use 3D CAD works to design model kits to which the end result is a model you build in kit form and display at a show. Your model is a 3D drawing which is then incorperated into a picture which can be printed off for framing right Clive

Hi there is this actually going to be a model or is this just showing a 3D CAD model design like they use for flightsims. Clive

She's looking sweet bud very nice. Clive

Hi there thanks for your interest, now to answer your question Matt. The weathering was done using Humbrol maskol dabbed on with a sponge over a silver surface on the model, it was then sprayed with its camo green over the top and left to dry. Once dry the maskol was removed leaving the desired affect you can see on the fuselage, the floats however were one the same but I also used rub n buff silver and pewter. To get the desired affect using the rub n buff I used a cotton ear bud and a paint brush to put the stuff on in the desired place, once this was dry I then used another cotton bud to buff up the polished areas of the floats where desired. The red was done with a paint brush using XF-7 and X-7 this created the look of the top coat of paint still noticeable and glossy but the under paint being the flat XF-7 giving the worn affect and fading. Hope this has answered your question clearly if you have any other questions please ask and I'll do my best to explain, here is a few pics of her as today I didn't get much done as the canopies needed the model to be set up and dry on. I did get some decals on her and I did a couple of touch up paint jobs on her to just to break up the camo look. She had to sit like this for most of today whilst the canopy set. That's all for now enjoy Clive

Hi all I managed to get the floats on last night its the wings next Cheers for looking in Clive

I bought mine some years ago now I've had a look inside the box then put the fuzz halves in a jig and then put the whole lot back in the box When I saw yours I dug it back out again and told myself I'm to do this kit this year as my 1/48 Lancaster is now near completion. Clive

Its a nice kit buddy I too have one. look forward to your progress Clive

Hi Tom I meant the 1/48 Fonderie Miniature Halifax bud Clive

Tom you're mad but I like it buddy, what happened to the Halifax bit to long winded. Clive

Hi all I've been at this since the start of January 2016, she's a mighty fine kit and builds nicely. Anyway here's a few pics enjoy. Happy new year fellas Clive

Cheers Guys looks like I'm out of luck on this one, guess I'll just have to stick with the kit engine. Clive

Corr look at that now that is bloody lovely very nice indeed sir well done that man I'm very impressed, I'll have to get one of these does it come with the same unit markings as the Airfix example or has Revell pulled something new from the archives. Clive

Hi Rich I have tried but the model is his friends, I did get a pm from him saying that he would ask him for me but nothing yet. Clive

Hi tomorrow I should be getting one of these kits, I've never mad a pick up so I'm looking forward to it. Just one thing can someone tell me where I might be able to get some big wheels like the silver one is wearing. Cheers Clive

Hi all I know its not cold war related and neither is it WW2 but can any of you tell me if I can or where I can get a resin 1/32 Pratt & Whitney R 3350 Radial engine for an A-1J Skyraider. Many thanks for any help. Clive

If I'm right in thinking this is the second build thread on this Trumpeter kit on this forum the first one was superb and this is backing it up nicely. Shaun get yours up to make it a third build on here would be nice to see a few more builds on this kit, I also have one to build and will get around to making it one day. Clive

Hi Tom happy new year bud, I have this kit to but I've not made a start on her yet I'm getting the Tamiya 48 Lanc done first. But I for another will watch your progress on this subject. Clive

spoke to soon then eh bud
