Marklo Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share Posted March 26, 2022 Repurpose, reuse, recycle. Not much model making done today but I made a somewhat rustic bench from scrap timber as a permanent home for my scroll saw, which is now living in the garage beside my chop saw and toaster oven. I did use said saw to cut out some laminated prop blanks, the one on the right will be for the Albatros CIX. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 Between illhealth and gardening tasks not getting to the bench much but I’m working on one side project which is my photo setup. I need some more materials before attacking the booth but I decided to make a ‘concrete base’ for the more modern subjects. So foam sections attached to a blackboard bad and covered with poly filler. Rattlecan grey it’s called Dopey ( I’m assuming after the elephant) needs a a bit of weathering and maybe a few plants but relatively happy with it.

Marklo Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) Painting the Olympic The Cromwell And the Challenger. Reworking the markings on black 4, it was missing the goat and the Luftwaffe crosses. I’ve also built it with the wrong wheel bulges so I’m in the process of changing them. The Fury is almost done. as is the Airfix firefly. The mig21 is partially primed and almost paint ready. Edited April 10, 2022 by Marklo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 Despite managing to write off our car on Monday a little modelling going on ( mostly as therapy) and have finished the firefly. The Cromwell is also nearly done. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 Ive been mostly working on the CIX which is almost done, just rigging, the engine and some paintwork. Also my big and British builds and my keep, which now just needs a windscreen and some decals snd weathering. However as both the ground attack and the Mig 21 gbs end on the 15th these three plus my 1/144 warthog are now priority with a mind to finishing all four by the middle of next month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) I have started yet another GB proposal, Airco & Dehavilland and STOL/VTOL are in for next years Bunfight but I’d like to have a few more for the vote as I’m not that confident of any one proposal getting over the line. Of course there are also these….. Many of which are dangerously close to the Bunfight Edited May 4, 2022 by Marklo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandsaw Steve Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I think you need a few more projects on the go. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 2 hours ago, Bandsaw Steve said: I think you need a few more projects on the go. 🤣 Well I am also fencing my front garden ( put up five fence panels yesterday) and putting up gates owing to the fact that we got a new dog, who is also having the effect of my daily step count doubling. But yes me being me I’m trying hard not to start anything new till my wip is down. So notwithstanding the APC I have only started four builds this month. But I really must make an effort to knock off that top ten sooner rather than later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Black 4 is finished (again) now with added goat. Edited May 16, 2022 by Marklo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 I'm blaming @Bandsaw Steve for this, as he suggested I need more projects 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 ‘Irony’ noun: When the literal meaning of a statement is opposite to the intended meaning. 🤔 Still, you have chosen 1/24 scale so that much is highly admirable. After a four month delay there might be an update on my 1/24 Pzh2000 soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojo is a delicate thing. I find myself working on whatever I’m most in the mood for not whatever’s been on the bench(or shelf) the longest, and then again RL can impinge on my modelling time so much.

Bandsaw Steve Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 No ‘shortage of mojo’ problem with the PZH, just no spare time and no place to work on it. I am replacing my old shed and now the new one is nearly finished I might actually strike some blows on the PZH this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) Just caught up with the PZH thread, it looks amazing. Can't wait to see it in camo. I'll probably take a similar approach to the running gear but my plan for he tracks was to make a styrene master and resin cast the individual plates.
