Hello Spad,

Is that big ??

OooooKaaay, Why not a 1/72 B-52 to put it aside ???

Sure You did great ! When I winged mine for test, Mrs CC get in the kitchen and just ask "Where are you going to expose this ??

On that same day the Frightening and the Phantom were on the table too....

No more comments...

About the drift, it's spring, bombs are blooming too, they found one last month in Namur

Not unusual, I dig for the whole Aircraft...;)

Glad that everything went right in MÛnster too...

Have a nice modelling time, I'm back to evening work week :worry:

Sincerely.

CC

Ha! Mrs Spadgent spins exactly the same.:D I still have no answer. 

Good luck with the working week CC.

 

Johnny.

:rofl: Maybe he needs both: a hanger to show her in flight and a hangar to put her to rest, from time to time.

Maybe he needs to build a 1.1 shed to store/show her properly :coolio: 

 

Either wy, it's going to look great when completed, Johnny :thumbsup:

Thanks guys. 🤗

small steps forward this week as the kitchen is going in and we’re in bonkers central at Chateau Spadgent. The nacelles got started and then lots of sanding and filling.

The outer sections got added that contain @corsaircorp‘s lancaster parts. Pretty good fot to be fair. Then a fit of the covers.

the seams on the wings got sanded too. The fit isn’t that bad but you do get some disparity.

the top section on the near nacelle needed some ppp to settle it all in place.

I need to spray the insides black before glueing. The fuselage needs a fill and seam sand before priming.

the inside section got a sand then some Mr S 1200. The old side window got sanded back.

Eugh! The ‘orrible seams on the bomb bay join needs filling and well while I’m there I might as well do all the little bits and bobs I’ve been putting off.

nearly primer time. Just these nasty beggars to deal with.

Tape on.

Sooo Good luck my Dear spad

And some courage and Mojo !

whatever you did great, for such deep gaps, I use CA gel first.

Long delay for curing but at the end, you save some time.

Nice job anyway !!

sincerely.

Good luck Johnny Lanc!

 

Don't think you'll need it though, you'll soon beat those seams into submission!

Been on vacation for a week or so. Did not have my password list to log in until I got back home. Wow the progress you have made. Outstanding work and the attention to the little details. Keep up the fine work.

Those are some nasty - and big! - seams :frantic:

 

Ciao

I know! Tamiya too. I think I’ve got the better of them now though.

Just some mere scratches Johnny.

You will have them done in no time.

 

Simon.

Ha! Not at the moment, pace has slowed right down. I’ll explain in a bit.

Sorry guys for the lack of updates. We are having a nightmare with getting our kitchen back in. The floor is ripped out, cooker still in the shower room at the back of the house.  😣 The electrical consumer unit needed replacing as we had an old bakerlite one. 🙈 The kitchen electrics needed replacing in their entirety as the old builders were.... 🤬 well, rubbish. The house is full of plaster dust, we have no water down stairs. My car suspension has snapped, and our floor tilers haven’t turned up this morning. :angry: Any thing else? Come on I’m ready to burst. :sad:

 

so as you you can see the Lanc has taken rather a back seat.

 

I’m generally positive so I won’t let this get me down. 

Fingers crossed everything works out and I get back to the bench soon.

 

have a lovely bank holiday gents.

 

Johnny. 🦍

 

ps. Sorry, don’t mean to moan, just thought you guys needed an explication as to the lack of updates. 🥨

Chin up Johnny, all the kitchen grief will be worth it when it is all done :)

 

Cheers,

I concur 100%. 

 

Fixing the 1:1 scale things first, then getting some relief from modelling - that's how it goes :)

I'm sure we have all been there Johnny, I certainly have. You probably can't do much over the bank Holiday so just enjoy the sunshine and chill out for a bit.

^ Wot they said - in my experience the long wait in all the dust is well worth it in the end...

Nice new kitchen and safe  electrics! :)
