TheBaron Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Them last few pages are a model of determination and poise Ced - a colourful jamboree that gladdens the eye. Great notion about tracing things on the graphics tablet for masking too.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedB Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Thanks Rob, Chris, Rob, Giorgio, Simon, Tony, Stuart, Keith, Johnny, John and Roger (phew, caught up!) Is it a good idea to apply stencils after a night at the pub? No. Nevertheless, has to be done: Glad that's over. Two Arrows ready for gloss coat later: Time for a lie down now. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbudde Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Hello Ced. They both look very nice. Will they be put under your ceiling or on a clear stand in that position as above. Have a nice nap. Cheers Edited March 17, 2018 by bbudde 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedB Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Now in the RFI here. Thanks as usual for all your help, support and companionship during this build What's next? This April 5th is the 50th anniversary of Alan Pollock's flight through the span of Tower Bridge. I have an old Airfix Hunter FGA.9 and will happily ignore all the accuracy problems with the kit. I need to do some more research but I'll come back here and post a link when I start the WiP. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
