Well, that’s a bit different!

Looks great. Speedy build!

That’s a nice sheen. I think it works very well for the scale. This one will be in the gallery soon!

Looking great. And personally I think there’s a lot to be said for a gap amidships.

That’s looking great. Appears quite… large.

Day 17 roundup... Two flying things and a floating thing added to the Build List today (or rather, yesterday, as I've just tipped over into tomorrow) - a pair of Hornets from @Cammer625 and @stevej60 (best up your game, @2996 Victor, he's gaining on you!) And from @Tomcat101, what promises to be a standout "concept" build of the Bismarck - look in on his WIP for an explanation, he tells it better than I could. The Build List continues to grow and grow... today's numbers are: 143 builds 103 underway 7 finished I'm giving away a few maritime-themed kits if anybody fancies throwing them at the GB - see pinned thread "Salty freebies anyone?" Right, I'm off to bed. Cheers all Tony

Both looking great Dave.

That's the full extent of the stash, @Bertie McBoatface apart from a 1/72 Lanc out of shot (that might eventually find itself upgraded to a 1/48). Today was the day the stash broke cover. I've given the spare room a good clear out and tidy this evening, and the accumulation of Spit kits that has been, er, smuggled into the flat and, um, hidden in boxes emerged blinking into the light as I arrayed them on their new shelves. I took a deep breath as Queen Mary got home, entered the spare room, surveyed the tower of boxes, shrugged and came out again without saying a word.

Well…

Arado gone

Wouldn’t that be nice?

I also have a sheet of paper that you could skilfully fashion into a little boat.

I’m having a bit of a clearout, I don’t think I’m sitting on a gold mine with these so if anyone fancies one drop me a PM. I’ll even cover the postage (UK only sorry - times are hard!) Only condition is that you have a crack at it in this GB. Cheers Tony

I think it would be churlish in the extreme to veto it on those grounds! Fascinating subject that deserves to be built.

Turns out the solution was under my nose - the Coffman bump is on Eduard's Mk V sprue, but not used for that marque. I have three of them in the stash so am well covered. Slow progress but chipping away, I should be able to assemble the wings tonight.

I can relate. There is indeed a paucity of ebullience.

Good news! Hannants have the resin prop back in stock. I've ordered that and some prepainted etch to tart it up a bit, but if I start this before getting at least one of my current three builds out of the way, shoot me.

That is a quite unique and very welcome addition to the Build List, I'll be following with great interest, Welcome aboard!

There are worse places to start than an Airfix '72 Spit, and she's looking great!

Haven't built a Tamiya Vb yet (or any Tamiya Spit for that matter, couple of Mk I's in the stash), will follow with interest, I'd like to see how it builds up compared to the Airfix Vb on on with at the moment. Great job on the cockpit.

With three separate builds going on and hosting duties for the Salty Sea Dog GB, I'm only dipping in and out of this one from time to time. Last night I gave the panel lines an enamel wash but during some over-vigorous removal of excess with a cotton bud I managed to damage one of the squadron codes. I have some spares, fortunately, so will be able to patch it up. Nice thumb print below the cockpit too.

(EDSG even!)

Good to see this one up and running!

This is a remarkable build. Very out of the ordinary!

Just having a bit of a catch-up on what's going on around the GB. The whaleboat is coming along splendidly, that varnish colour is lovely. Mrs. Troll needs her own WIP thread, though. Just kidding
