FZ6 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Look forward to seeing how you get on with this one Ced, I started this thread when the Revell Halifax was released. I really need to get back on with this one some day and finish it...... Hope you find it useful when making your model. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Page two and still no sign of... progress (almost got in one of my favourite Pantomime quotes there.

Ian Thanks Ian Jon (06/24) started the 'Campaign for Waterslide Transfers' (CAWTS) a while ago when Stew asked how to pronounce 'decals' and Doug replied "it's pronounced 'transfers'". Quite right for Britmodeller, of course, and something that's stuck (with me anyway). Mostly. I remember those sheets too... great fun 7 hours ago, HP42 said: Now this should be interesting. If no aftermarket we see what it looks like OOB. With aftermarket and we get a nice insight into resin bits. Either way we win as interested spectators. 😆 Thanks Phil Good point. As a kit basher (not good enough for 'modeller') I should maintain my OOB mantra shouldn't I? 3 hours ago, Christer A said: Still on first page? That must be a first... Nice to see you back in the usual WIP place Ced, it was getting a little empty... Good luck with this one, and have lots of fun now! Thanks Christer - I was tempted over to the DH GB but back now... until Jaime's floatplane GB in September anyway 2 hours ago, Beard said: This might help you decide: (Mind you, it also throws the Aeroclib set into the mix.)

Right, decided. As a lazy kit basher with limited scratch skills I'm going to do this OOB (with probably different idents to keep my RAF theme). I hope this doesn't disappoint anyone... if it does, my apologies, but you should see the mess I'm going to make of the kit!! More work this morning then out to lunch. I will try to start today but more likely tomorrow. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yorkshireman Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Another epic @CedB build. Quietly drawn chair up & sipping coffee (for now). Can't wait to see progress........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian I do love the way that this site brings back long forgotten childhood memories, seemingly on a daily basis! I'd completely forgotten about those transfer sets Ian, one of my very favourite things (apart from Airfix kits of course!) when I was a kid - I now recall my all time fave being a fold out moon scape with about 100 astronauts milling about exploring the place!

Spookytooth Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Well I am in for this build Ced. How`s the catering coming along? Plenty of sandwiches we hope. Looking forward to this one, it might last a little while longer. Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Apologies for the lack of progress chaps - work got in the way today and too tired tonight I did have a panic that I didn't have enough variety of figures for the crew so I poured some more resin in the moulds: Untitled by Ced Bufton, on Flickr Some good candidates to go with the rest of the stock. Most of them have feet and everything! Must be getting the hang of it... 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonl Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Late to the party again! Though this time no sign of any sprue cutting so I've not missed anything exciting. I'm getting slightly concerned that Ced is secretly planning to invade a small country with an army of 1/72 figures, he's always moulding more! As I live in the nearest 'small' country I'm going to guard the bridge with a large quantity of TET! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBaron Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 What's wrong with me? Several days late for this one as well. Still, it's a Ced build, there's got to be an exotic tool or two/showing up/at some stage. Good luck with this Hot Halifax Ced. Tony 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) Now that's basically truly disrespectful Tony Last time I walked the line at LIDL they'd sold out of Thorshammer tool kits To see you can still get them over in the occident makes me wonder if it is worth a very quick ferry ride...

CedB Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 More work today but hopefully I'll get something done in the morning, then it's the weekend (hooray!) Welcome to all new watchers - please settle down and, hopefully, we'll cut some sprue before page 3... Leon don't worry about invasion - can't afford the tolls 9 hours ago, limeypilot said: That's what Offa's dyke was for... Hi Ian - the end of our garden is Wans Dyke, a linear ancient monument. Sounds grand but its just a 3' high bank with a 1950's stone wall on the top... I guess Wans' enemies were complete wusses. Tony I Googled that hammer - cute design! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amblypygid Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Wansdyke? How cool; are you on the Romano-British or Saxon side? I've seen the eastern section in Wiltshire, and it's still pretty impressive over there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 Um... er... i'm on my side, of course! I must take a trip to the impressive bit, thanks Chris Time to get to grips with this lot: As per Darby's instructions I have removed all the items from the end-opening box, flattened it, stamped on it and set it alight. I think they're nasty too. Gosh, what a lot of parts... time to organise, as usual. I'll label up the sprues with their letters on tape to make it easier to find them when I... just a minute, Revell refer to the parts by number, not sprue? Arggghhhh! OK, calm down, which bits do I need then for my chosen BII S1 Special? It'll have 'options' on the instructions won't it, like this: Um... what the... ?? At least I can make a start... let's look at the window I need to cut out: Well, that was easy. I'm completely confused now... perhaps the kit allows more options than the schemes? Right, let's look for pictures of JB910, my chosen scheme from the Xtradecals @amblypygid very kindly sent me (thanks Chris!) 200+ images on IWM... crikey, they do vary don't they, a LOT. Google pointed me at this which shows JB910 with tiger Shark teeth and eyes! Don't panic, not a shark mouth, just teeth (and there are decals for it on the sheet). Phew. Wrong prop blades though eh? OOB, OOB, repeat after me... Off out to lunch soon so I may have some more courage later. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giemme Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Must be a common problem with Revell's instruction sheets: I have this Revell Eurofighter in my stash that keeps bouncing up, but when I start looking at the printed sheet, it immediately bounces back ...

Christer A Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) OOTB? When there is so much fun AM-goodies that need's to be bought? It looks like you need to study the sheets at the same time as your oogling the IWM pictures, crossing out whatever options are wrong before you commit knife to plastic?
