I don't usually touch subs, but for this I'll make an exception.

Working on John firstly: Parts were cleaned as they were removed from the runners and any filling required was done upon assembly.

Each sub-assembly is being painted prior to final assembly. I like the way the parts fit together; nothing subtle but very solid.

Paul is progressing in a similar manner.

Shame about the Tuba Ratch not an easy piece to come by either unlike ship,aircraft parts etc, born in 1960 with a brother eleven year's older of course

the Beatles music was always a memory of my childhood,I   seem to be building Airfix's whole back catalogue in the kit you built as a kid GB but tried

my hardest to get a Monkeymobile for a reasonable price as I loved the TV show and collected the bubble gum cards etc...

I had a bit of a problem with Ringo's hand. I think I'd laid the paint down too thickly, and it was peeling off like sunburnt skin :wall:

So I sanded it back and re-painted, along with other colours.

Yellow Submarine had the upper areas and rudder sprayed white.

Nicely put together Ratch. As an undoubtedly conventional youngster/near teen, I wasn't impressed when those nice clean living, fun loving lads that gave us such cool films as "Hard Days Night" & "Help", suddenly went all weird & freeky. :D Being in the doldrums on the other side of the world didn't help any either, it were a long way away from the action. :(  I do like the way you've put these together though, they've come up a treat. :) 

Steve.

'...and the band began to play...' Very nice work! It's been ages since I've seen 'Yellow Submarine' - need to find it on iTunes.

 

Regards,
