perdu Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 The overlord can speak I can respect the order but wow, it goes against the grain I realise I see the grebbits when you all see the model but hey they are my grebbits and I can hate 'em if I want to Thank you all for helping me get towards the finishing line with this I can't hardly wait to get started on the Bilvedere...

I would be very proud of a singer with that sound and that lyrics for a country.

perdu Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 A few more fettles have been fettled Basically Andy Deeley's Airwaves wipers are on now And the controlling cables for the winch/hoist whatever dooberry None of the struts in either the Matchbox set nor the Italeri set made sense on the model The cables are clearer on the first picture, doh... The struts were mostly from Evergreen 0.020" rodding and after struggling with photos it seems the unit is slightly askew on the real Wokka so I do declare "THIS IS IT!" The cables were from invisible thread painted in various metal colours to represent the metal-ish look of the real thing On the left side I have begun playing with the windows Yeuuukkk Anyway it is wot it is It is even less impressive on the blown bubble windows, I promise you Anyway I am off to have a look at the Bilvedere, should we have a fred of our own? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendie Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Bill - she's looking better than good in those photos. I am looking at the same Chinook as you aren't I? we can all be our own worst critics at times - didn't you just tell me that over on a Wessex that we must not speak of thread only a week or two ago? Keep plugging away - you're almost there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
