  1. Looks great Richie! As for the engine covers .....I make mine out of annealed Coca Cola cans . ,,,,,once the aluminium is annealed then its quite easy to cut and shape them!....you could give it a go unless you have come up with a brain wave!....if you do ,let me know!🙂
  2. Yes...I don't usually take such a break ,but after a 3 year break I have got myself into another rock band and had to put all my efforts into music! I have started a 1:24 scale scratch build of a Hawker Fury.....but stopped as I had problems with the plans I was using for the fuselage......so then I restarted and still at the half a fuselage stage!!.....I will get back to the bench soon hopefully! Fozzy
  3. Cowling looks perfect Richie! A break from scratch building is sometimes all we need to put us back on track!......I'm currently on my 3rd month off....due to life getting in the way!😉 Fozzy
  4. Richie I know how you feel!...Scratch building is not easy and it does take it out of you. My last scratch build was 1:20 scale B17G fuselage and it took me 10 years to complete!...I battled on to get it finished and when it was it was such a relief! One added stress factor can be that you post your build here ,on BM...just like I did ...and you almost feel that you mustn't let the followers down.....but my advice would be to take a break and make a OOB 1:72 kit and go back to it later. I found that gave me the push to continue to the end. What ever you decide ...just to say...I feel for you and that this build is a real masterpiece! Fozzy
  5. Good idea Richie......no rush!....we will all be here waiting for your return!....looks fantastic BTW!
  6. Absolutely no reason why not Richie!😉 Fozzy
  7. Damn good Richie!...the Interior looks spot on!😮
  8. Cheers Richie!......not sure what's next but toying with the idea of scratch building the cockpit of a Avro Vulcan along side an Avro Lancaster cockpit in 1:20 scale....but that just maybe a project too far!😉
  9. Thanks once again every one for your kind words!🙂 Fozzy
  10. Hi Noel....cheers mate!....and yes I do have the Talbot.....will attempt that build when I have had a break from this one!.....I just love these old racers from the 50s! Merry Xmas Fozzy
  11. Yes ,I used the original wheels and added spokes.....I was never going to put those clear plastic parts on! I guess at the end of the day the kit was only £8....what would one expect with detail side of things!......but........I have to say I love these sort of kits as they are far more of a challenge than the "perfect" Tamiya kits....to name but a few! Happy Xmas! Fozzy
  12. Fabulous IP Richie!.......Have a great Xmas! Fozzy
