Maybe that too ;) Tim

Oh but of course! Why else 4 Sqn other than because of that scheme? Tim

I've been dabbling with the Hornet a little and it feels very...old-school twitchy But at least that makes the carrier landings more satisfying to achieve! TBH what impresses me most about the F-18 as modelled are the tyre bulges! Tim

For a 1/72 kit that’s really tidy! Keep up the good work! Tim

Ooh brilliant! I remember seeing posted a few years ago, some FAA schemes for the A-7 and I've got one of those planned as a future build Tim

Thanks Sean, there's definitely a soul awaiting but there isn't much of an aircraft to house it yet Tim

Apparently it's when you get lots of 'Camber' callsigns coming over the pond that things are happening. Camber is the callsign of flights chartered by USTRANSCOM. Great pictures Scimitar, is that the pre-airside car park you were shooting from? Tim

Hiya Kirk, As you may possibly have gathered I’ve been on a several year hiatus thanks to life and loss of mojo. So alas no progress has been made. Don’t worry, I’ve not abandoned it, and hope to get slowly back into modelling in the next month or so. That said...I made the mistake of opening Vitaly’s thread just before opening this one, so I’m debating what, if anything, to redo. This’ll be the death of me Tim

Oh good golly gosh that's good!! And such superb fading on the decals! Tim

There was a point in the video I genuinely expected them to say they'd modelled airframe/engine/system wear and ageing. That's A2A levels of quality right there. Tim

And with the Legacy Hornet already available in beta? Dis gon be good Tim

This was printed - 12 sheets of...I think I used 140gsm. BUT, and it's a big but, I couldn't have done it without the help of Pepakura Viewer. The guy supplied the .pdo files as part of the model .rar and it was utterly indispensable for working out the more complicated folds and joins. I'd never dare try anything Gundam Tim

Good show Chris! FWIW I logged into PB for the first time in over a year earlier today and, apart from hawking their subscription service at the first log-in, it still seems to be working as it used to 🤔 Tim

OK, so this has been done for almost a year now but since it's the only actual modelling I've done (aka completed) in the last couple of years, thought it should be posted The designer goes by the name of Xenonray and has done a few other characters, also in this scale. If anyone is interested Tim

Oh go on then, may as well bite the bullet! Couple of years ago, first visit to RAF Hendon with an American friend of mine who's aviation mad and happens to live in Oshkosh I'm on the left

Now I've just got to remember who everyone is! 😮

Hmm, this place seems strangely familiar... 🤔 Well after an absence of about 5 years now (!) I felt it was better to make a formal reintroduction rather than to just sidle into the various sub-forums! Life got a little turbulent and mojo was lost, I'm sure many here can sympathise. But things have pretty much settled down now and I want to make a concerted effort to get back into the swing of things. Long story short - the airline sponsorship never quite worked out (it sucks to be in the top 0.5% of candidates when they're only taking the top 0.1% ). But other things did. So now I find myself in southwestern Scotland (having been deported here from Kent a year ago), in the final few months of training as an air traffic controller at Shanwick Oceanic ACC. And it's awesome! Offers the free time and the salary that's essential for any discerning modeller Looking forward to get going again in the next few weeks, hope everyone's well! Tim

OK, so long overdue for another update! I've finally finished the electronics on the spray booth - ripped out the old 12v fans and upgraded to a pair of 230v fans with much greater air flow! The fan switch connects to a Instead of installing the motor vertically as I'd originally planned, I mounted it horizontally with bevel gears: And yes, the wiring will be tidied up in due course! I also put the green 'on' LEDs in just for that extra pizzazz Anyway, here's the finished article: Tim

Outstanding work dude, it absolutely comes to life in the last photograph! Tim

Good Lord, has it REALLY been a whole year since I posted an update?! A lot's been happening - since getting my first full-time job (which has proven to be exceptionally full-time!) and my attention and interests going in another direction for a bit, I've only spent a little time tinkering over the course of the year. BUT, I've taken the opportunity of my Christmas holidays to actually make some progress - the result is that my fancy switch panel & shelf have been built, tested and assembled! Keep an eye out for more updates in the next few weeks! Tim

Evening all, I've just seen this advertised and since I haven't found it here on a search, I thought I'd share it: http://www.shuttleworth.org/events/openworkshop2014/ 27th/28th December, £12 per adult Behind the scenes on a Sopwith Camel, Sopwith Triplane and Spitfire, along with plenty of chat time! Tim (First post in ages! I am still here! )

Happy Birthday Guv! Tim

Is that what they call it these days? Tim
