Marklo Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 GBs coming thick and fast this week I’m going to concentrate on my salty sea dog builds and also try to move the FWs on. But I’ll be adding a 1/144 C47 a 1/72 Corsair II and a 1/72 Crusader into the mix as those GBs start over the next few weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything in italics isn’t started yet. So the plan is to finish the FWs then focus on the Salty Sea Dog builds. Basicslly to prioritise based on GB timetables.

Marklo Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) Number five is finished and yes the bt1400 bomb is almost as big as the aircraft. More pics in the GB Gallery. My Viking longship is almost finished too. Plan for the next week is to finish off my Salty Seadog builds. Then chip away at my other GB entries. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/forum/795-airco-and-de-havilland-gb/ The Airco and DeHavilland GB starts soon, don’t be a stranger Edited April 15, 2023 by Marklo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted May 3, 2023 Author Share Posted May 3, 2023 A thorough clean up… Plan for this week is to finish my Salty Sea Dog builds and probably start my Dehavilland builds. However I have a minor crises I have run out of shelf space.. however I have space in both my shelving units to add a few extra shelves so that’s probably the first order of business… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted May 4, 2023 Author Share Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) The Sablatnig is almost finished just needs the exhaust manifold, two decals and some detail painting. I’m kind of holding off until I resolve the shelf crises. My other three SSD builds are in various states of assembly.

Marklo Posted May 4, 2023 Author Share Posted May 4, 2023 The shelving crisis has been averted. Less than €25 got me a length of oak effect chipboard that I got three new shelves out of and a length of 5mm aluminium rod that I cut up for pegs and still have enough left for future modelling projects. Now to finish that Sablatnig… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 One of my more esoteric GB proposals, go on you know you want to. The Morser Karl is getting the most attention. As well as the Airfix Vampire Some pre work for the Go large GB. I’m also working away on the Sablatnig and the swift boat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted May 10, 2023 Author Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) Got some paint on the swift boat and the control lines on the Sablatnig. And also started to repair my laser engraver. It’s a great little machine, actually made using repurposed CD drive mechanisms. The follower on the x stage( the one that mounts the laser) was worn out so I bought a spare stage and extracted the part, which is now in situ. One of the connections to the power switch is broken so I need to resolver that and hopefully that’s it. It had about a 100mm range and the laser is powerful enough to score or cut plastic card or cut kabuki/masking tape, as you can imagine very useful for mask making.

Marklo Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 Not much modelling going on today, but lots of gardening, and taking advantage of the weather as someone put it ‘ Summer my favourite two weeks of the year’ Managed to get some paint on some of the Wallace and grommet bits and did a bit more on the swift boat, mostly rattlecans all five minute jobs in between other jobs.
