StephenCJ Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I have never seen snow. That is a lie, I saw snow on top of a smoking mountain miles away in New Zealand. I was at a place called, I can't remember, some army base on the North Island that was a desert with grass that seemed like it was ten feet tall. We were there for 25 days and it rained for 20 of those. New Zealand is a Beautiful place. If we didn't have these two we would be going there for a little holiday. The one on the right would fret himself to death if mummy went away. 14C is cold for us. Any way brilliant modeling as usual Claudio.

Robin Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Hi Chris. If we are talking about weather in Canada; my Daughter sent me a photo of their garden in Whistler that she took on Sunday as they were having lunch, in the middle of the picture was a big brown bear wandering across the lawn, not your usual visitor.

fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Another short session with the airbrush. The gloss black went on the parts that will have partial metal paint over. The back of the prop blades was black, so those will be masked: 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 The window internal masks of the rescue kit are removed, and the clear windows on the new kit are glued in place. The wardrobes in the foyer are added, the small cargo bay of the new kit is painted metal inside. Work on the interior can now commence in the form of curtains (almost all closed in the rescue kit, since no seats will be provided for that one) and perhaps some lighting: 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, don’t forget what happened to the shoemaker. He and his wife decided to be kind, and made the elves little clothes to wear. The elves took them and never returned. So, don’t treat them too well, else they’ll leave you holding the bag someday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think that may the reason for the general scarcity of toilet paper?

fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 More restroom decoration. I changed around a couple things, just as a divertimento. There will be some variation between the two planes, since they were of different times and characteristics. All in good fun. Is airplane restroom decorator a profession?: 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
