    Think if we had kept them until today! I swopped it the a few months for a Velocette Venom.

    Very nice rendition of this crash.. On another forum there has been much speculation where this aircraft now resides, I hope the remains of FS Dennis Copping will eventually be found and buried with full military honours as befits the man.

    Brilliant work as always Kev. I just wish my hands would let me model again soon( although your standard exceeds anything I could produce!)

    Are you going to make the bell and clapper for "up spirits" at noon Kev?

    Wrong thread Vampires should be in the Aircraft forum!

    Any chance of a view of the boat as she stands now Kev? With my useless "B" hands this is the closest I can get to seeing my favourite boats! No modelling for me until the New Year(Doctors strikes permitting. I even have to drive my car with a suicide knob now! It goes without saying your work is incredible as always.

    Keep them coming Kev. I just wish my hands would work so I could do some modelling(not to your standard though!)

    Bit of a leak from filing it would be nice! (Sorry about this post I must be catching my replies from Martin)

    Come on Kev you must have finished the heads by now and as I can't model at the moment I am missing my fix!

    Beautiful as usual Bob. BTW who has nicked your pen?
  22. paul178
    Thanks Kev, I was getting withdrawal's. Put a line on to the little dingy before it drifts off your diorama!

    First that is a cracking build and it brings back a lot of memories. I have had four 3.8's one 240(last of the line(outwardly it had thinner bumpers) and a 3.8 S type 1965 CAE 38C I wonder if it still exists? All bought in the 1970's and the most I paid was £80 for one. The XJ6 came out in 1968 and the mk2 was dead as for market value. I loved them and turned a profit on all but one which I scrapped for parts. To make just a couple of observations The bumpers need attention as they are too low and sag(Having tried to refit the bloody things on the real one single handed it should be a breeze for you) if you want to super detail it there is a radio ariel on the front wing next to the drivers quarter light. The spats on the rear wheels were always a nuisance and never fitted properly. I used to bin then and use a little fillet instead. If you want to rescribe it I would tend not to do it you model is fine and it is very nice to see. I hope you don't mind my comments and a trip down memory lane. To NYMODELLER The Inspector Morse car is an abortion with that vinyl roof(never a Jaguar option) and whoever did that needed shooting. Steels are the poor mans version I would stick to wires. Still its your model so I will shut up now! To Roy As an old gaffer of 71 I have had a lot of Jags namely an XK140 bought from a widow who wanted it gone for £180 XK 150, MK 7, MK10 and series one XJ6 with rotten front wings but reliable and a 1970 Fixed Head E type new(Inherited money) Still I an happy with my V8 Soarer now for comfort Sorry I have rambled off again, I must have forgotten my medication.(if I had kept the above lot I would have a private Nurse to see to me)

    Just finished that MTB as the picture you sent me Kev showing her on builders trials. Hands preclude me from modelling any more until I have cortisone injections in both wrists(carpel tunnel syndrome) Still it gives me time to work out where to put a shelf for it. Pictures will have to wait as one of my cars needs two rear tyres at £190 each! so the camera is dropped down the list. BTW when you make the heads will the toilet paper be on a roll with perforations or the sheet type in a little box?
  25. paul178
    Kev you have been quiet for the last two days and I am getting withdrawals. What are you making now , the crews heads? (toilets to landlubbers)
