  1. Incredible skills, another great thread to follow!
  2. This is a great thread to follow, loving the attention to detail
  3. Gorgeous. I'm with you on the joys of rigging, but you've done a great job.
  4. Gorgeous finish, really like the finish you create on your builds.
  5. You've absolutely nailed the weathering in my opinion, one of the best I've seen.
  6. Stunning build, whilst I agree about some of the comments on panel lines, the artistic result is a delight. Hard to believe this is 1/72!
  7. Thanks Colin, yes, another 'What-if' of an alternative British history. Compare the aviation world of yesteryear to what we now, the sky full of tubes with two engines....quiet engines too! Thanks, yes a bit of clean up needed. The paint is MRP with their semi-matt over a coat of their gloss which I used to seal the decals in. Real BA Negus aircraft appeared to lose their shine over time so I wanted to capture this 'in service' look. The rattle is quite annoying, I just hope the dancing doesn't catch on with the other passengers! Yes, something we might find in Thunderbirds! done a bit more over the last couple of days. The undercarriage is very basic with doors that would way a couple of tons real world! I've cut the oleo section out of the front gear (assuming this is what was there) and replaced with a brass tube and added the scissor legs. Also started to either thin or replace the doors to give them a more scale thickness: And de-riveting the rotors before re-detailing them: Cheers Neil
  8. I've got loads of them although I think most are for the Airfix kit but may have a few Revell ones too. I'll have a look later. If not too fussed on accuracy, don't they provide the flat panels too as an alternative? I know airfix do.
  9. No, I don't think it will, the handle the rear end slightly differently unfortunately.
  10. Thanks Heather I spent a few hours looking through the options, I reckon all would of looked good! There's something about the simple Negus look that graced the airliners that kept bringing me back to that scheme though! Cheers Rory Hi Bill, I looked at doing the red / blue lettering but it looked too light and a test print wasn't as sharp as some decals I had so I've gone with using some proper decals. I'm quite happy with the look in the end Thanks, I might join in that one, it's been a while since I did a GB. Cracked on this morning, the fuselage is pretty much done, just need to add some serials. Dreading sorting those props and the rotor out, they look fiddly! One of the figures has broken loose from their seat inside so we now have an annoying rattle when I handle it! Sticky out bits soon! Cheers Neil
  11. sorry there hasn't been many updates, 1/1 stuff has been getting in the way. I have got a bit done over the last few days, there's some paint on. some tidying up to do on the Negus markings as they were masked and painted. The only choice to make now is what text format to do on the rotor mast. The tail units and wings are just dry fitted at the moment.
  12. Looking forwards to this, especially laden with nurses!
