dogsbody Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 That's a real beauty! One small question, if I may. The prop spinners look to be painted with a glossy/semi-glossy paint. Why is that? Shouldn't they be the same paint as the rest of the undersides? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's wrong, and yes, they should be Night, but it looks nice, and it's easy to use the gloss black for them. That's not a good reason, but here we are. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Wonderful finish PC. Is she for an RFI? 👌 Johnners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shimer may be considered the worst school in the US Tertiary Ed system, but on the basis of that line it has not lived in vain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom216 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Fantastic finish! An absolutely beautiful Lancaster. It's almost a shame to tuck her away in there. She needs some spot lights on her! As to the base, can you give a pic of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, it's a custom base from Bases by Bill, an unpainted version of this one. I have a couple of bases by them, I saw them at my local IPMS show a few years back and I love their work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VT Red Sox Fan Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 @Procopius—entering this thread way late but had to say well done!!! Really appreciate what you did with the Bomber Command camo scheme and weathering—another high bar set! Best, Erwin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
