tomprobert Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Morning all, I was rummaging around in the loft earlier this week and stumbled upon this long-forgotten build from... 2015. Where has 5 years gone? To cut a long story short, I entered this as part of the non-injected group build and as usual ran of steam during the GB and never got it done. However, I've decided to give it some love and have since added the stabilisers and fins, added some resin engines (kindly donated by a fellow BM member years ago,) found some reasonably shaped air intakes for the top of the engines and given it a coat of primer: Untitled by Thomas Probert, on Flickr Untitled by Thomas Probert, on Flickr Lots of surface details to reinstate, but not too far off paint which is always good for the motivation.

mackem01 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Great to watch your talent working again, but I'd far rather it was in your usual 48th scale. What a monster that would be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Oh fantastic, I'd love a Beverley in 1/72! Injection moulded obviously, I don't have the skill or patience for vac-form, so I'll watch yours instead. What colours will you do, 'crud & custard' or silver/white?

Jonners Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) Crikey, Tom; how do you forget about a 1/72 Beverley?? It will be interesting to watch progress resume on this, as it looks very tidy so far. For what it's worth, I live and work fairly close to the last complete (for now, at least...) Beverley and often look down on it* while pondering on its survival prospects. Jon *Edit: About 3 hours ago, in fact!

Not forgotten, just lost in the depths of my attic whilst I hop about between other projects. Since the last update (how long ago?!) I’ve fitted the landing gear so I really should get my finger out and finish it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acky190 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I've just bought one myself and will be following your tips and tricks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HP42 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Tom, I've bought the same kit and have been enjoying your build so far. Any developments in the last 3 years perchance? Your work is a great reference. 🫡 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'm like a pea on a drum when it comes to modelling, so you never know when it may be picked up again. Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 It looks an amazing project. Will be outstanding in this scale, especially in ‘crud and custard’ colours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
