geedubelyer Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 These Felixstowes are very much flavour of the month at the moment and I'm lapping it up. The joy that is multi-textural finishes. Wood, metal, linen etc. What an absolute pleasure to watch. I agree with Tempestwulf, those plywood decals look superb. Very nice job so far Guy. Cheers.

Gisbod Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 I seem to have exceeded my bandwidth with Photobucket so I've set up another account hoping I can retrieve my previous pictures but here are some new ones The oils are done and ready to start putting the insides together... Thanks Guy 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Brilliant work! I can see buying this kit then spending maybe twenty years building it. At least. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Just, like, Can I ask where you got the wood decals from. I believe this is the site you're looking for - http://www.uschivdr.com/shopping-categories/shop-wood-grain-decals/ Maybe it's just me, but the girl on the site looks like she's from a Hitler Youth propaganda poster.

Gisbod Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Just, like, Can I ask where you got the wood decals from. Yep, The fuselage internal sides are Uschi decals. The rest is just the usual oils technique Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTKC Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Incredible! That is amazingly neat and detailed! How did you get the plastic to look so much like wood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FZ6 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I exceeded my photobucket account this week so you must be getting a lot of views but that's not surprising. It's a fantastic project. Look forward to seeing further progress as its coming on really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gisbod Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 WOW... Nice work, great kit (pricey) but nice. Looking forward too more. Simon. Thanks Although the kit is pricey (about £180 + customs charge ) it still seems good value for money - you get a lot of modelling out of one box & I never begrudge paying for quality - and this kit oozes quality Guy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhouse Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 It seems a shame to close it up. How much of the exquisite detail will still be visible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gisbod Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 It seems a shame to close it up. How much of the exquisite detail will still be visible? Nearly all would disappear once the top is on, but I have a plan to keep it open Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gisbod Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Fuselage together - plodding along slowly... Couldn't decide whether to remove some of the top... But went for it - will have the framework added afterwards... Thanks for looking Guy 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
