Soeren Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) Hey there Richard. When you started this I thought that would turn into a good build. Boy, was I wrong. With each of your scratch additions , superbly executed, it turns into the real thing. I guess you will be able to at an rc module and have it running. This inside work with the brass profile frame is just gorgeous. Edited July 23, 2018 by Soeren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Soeren Thanks for the kind words, its been awhile not done any modeling since my last post everything is in boxes ☹️ due to moving from Alberta to Vancouver Island to retire after 43 years in the steel fabrication business Bought a house with the basement not finished so here are a couple of pic's showing the new model room I am building in its early stages, room size is 37' x 19'-6" Made a bulk head to cover all the piping and installed sub floor so that I am not walking on concrete Now this has been dry walled Under the stairs will have a compressor and dust collector So until this is finished no modeling for me Until next time Regards Richard 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longshanks Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Good to see you back Richard, 1 : 1 modelling at its best. I think you've got room to expand. Congratulations on your retirement, I hope it all works out for you Kev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xffw45343tg Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Hi Richard. Wondered why it had gone quiet on the Typhoon & Coles front. Well done on retirement. We never made it to Vancouver island on our Rockies trip last year but thought Vancouver city was great. With scenery like that it is a wonder you ever get any modelling done. I suppose it does get a little cold outside in the winter. Looking forward to progress on ANY of your models!! Kirk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 just caught back up on this... seeing you were a metal fabricator explains a lot about the insane skill you are showing... making me want to try adding 2x Stuka am Fuss to my baby T-20.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripaman Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 Hi everyone, wow does time fly when you are having fun thanks for all the comments have not been on for a while, but very close to finishing my and my dear wife's hobby room not touch a model since last July 😥 Put some laminate down for the floor (no carpet 🙂) then added some cabinets and a small fridge for the CA glue etc, then added a lot of LED lights Put a nice TV in there so that we can watch the hockey games 😂 then started making the frame work to hold the benches Then made the bench frame out of 1 x 3 Fir, started by joining two pieces and made Tee's for added strength 🏋️♂️ This is how they turned out Then added 3/4" MDF for bench tops After that was done added 1 x 2 Fir all around edges Next up was then to glue the Formica onto the MDF and route around edges with 1 1/16 bevel tool Painting of the frames are done did not take pictures of that so now just started to put equipment in so next pic's will be of the finish room Until next time Regards Richard 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Awsome looks like you could accommodate a small army of modellers in there. Makes my ex school teachers desk look a bit sad though 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuller Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 If I had mad skills like you, Richard, I would scratch the rest of the Tank where needed, and have the definitive, world class, museum ready Churchill.

Ripaman Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 Hi all, Thanks for all your nice comments have got the hobby room all set up and I thought I would finish my ship Bluenose first (did start this one back in 2010) because we live so close to the sea now. But will be working on the Churchill and Hawker Typhoon at the same time All for now Regards Richard 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Wow, that's is just amazing. So you have individual build slots for your models. And a shared painting area. Fantastic. What is the size of this room in total? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
