Hello Dears,

And every one received a bit of attention !

39635346614_f0d491326a_b.jpg

I was a little bit PE bored... So I bore the Walrus exhausts :P

39635346624_c2d20ce379_b.jpg

Start the rigging !! Aaaaaand

39635346634_1ea1e2d835_b.jpg

Hello Dears,

 Our dear @Martian Hale's pet grew from weird to weirder, See...

40383267582_10a3534db3_b.jpg

Here's another Strange story of teeth (Sorry Mr PC) :P

And there's a window finished with a glass that came from a cake blister !

40383267612_3c27bf24d1_b.jpg

Of course, I also worked on my Seafire FR 47 but Nothing worthy of a pic

And fixed some bits of painting on my March's RFI

Tomorrow, I'll work on my Feb's RFI, it will not be published in this part of the forum !

since it will be too heavy and no wings....

Have a great modelling time and take care !

sincerely.

with the door open, the Sandwich and the bottle are may be the ones of a mechanic !!

25575337777_b2b98974f8_b.jpg

struggling now with the co-pilot's seat ..

25575337727_1fdde1f2d8_b.jpg

In fact, my Dear Martian, the cake blister contained 2 Baba au rhum....

I love the way the green paint looks sloshed on in the interior. Gives everything a very realistic style. I’m looking to pinch that for the old Lanc. :wub:

 

John.

Thanks John,

It's just the hairy stick with Lifecolor paint, multiple very thin coat of a diluted paint.

As the Airfix plastic is blue, it work well but at first it was not my goal.

Sometimes, what seem to be a mess end up in a good thing.;)

Sincerely.

Hello Dears,

Still I'm also working on my sinny sin !

But that PE turn me mad... Add to this the Lanc's PE

I found a very boring and nerve raking PE part to do...

That :angry::angry:drum magazine for the Vickers !!

I will order a separate résin Vickers, but can't wait for it and there is only 2 drums....

And with my big fingers ...

38715461810_460f37660d_b.jpg

Look, that great Idea !

38715461730_2d95c68c5d_b.jpg

But at least, the result look good, I think that they are painted in black...

38715461720_48268b04f8_b.jpg

Ok gents, Have a very good modelling time

and take care !

Sincerely.

The RAAF boats engaged in Air-Sea Rescue did not carry guns. This is generally true of all ASR Walruses as the weight was critical. With more than a couple of rescued airmen they could scarcely take off and sometimes had to taxi long distances.

Hello Dears,

Thanks to Ed's message, I get the 2 drums out. But at that time I had one of my weird idea !! :hmmm:

I sacrified a PE drum to have this dome !

38733726220_89fa10c271_b.jpg

I bend it at the right dimensions and Tatzaaaam !!!:yahoo::yahoo:

38733726230_3d2e3141f6_b.jpg

A good radar screen for my Lightning  !

So back at the shagbat !

I must confess that I grew bored by the PE parts :waiting:, so tiny,

but here's the folded seat !

38733726280_e1eefe41db_b.jpg

I need a beer please....:bangin:

26673082978_64d708ccd4_b.jpg

The fuselage will be butoned up soon I think.

I choosed to use the kit parts instead of the PE for showing the Winch !

The braces are too flat and thin IMHO, even the pulley, they are more detailled but looked too flat too.

Have a very good modelling time Dears Gentlemen of BM !

Sincerely.
