Dermo245 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Great choice, look forward to following! I've heard that on French modelling websites, only one of these builds is allowed per modeller. .. ... …. That's because in France, one egg is an oeuf... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeyboy76 Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 I’m ready for the oeuf tomorrow morning, I can’t wait to get cracking, I just need to get the box from the stash. No eggs for my breakfast in the morning, I’m allergic. What do you call an adventurous egg? An eggs-plorer 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeyboy76 Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 En oeuf of the Egg jokes for now, box shot As I said, this will be a straightforward OOB build in the style of my good modelling buddy Mr @nimrod54. Lets see what’s in the box I remember now, I had previously weathered the base plate ready and ordered some working street lights & battery box. But what’s below this? Some lovely plastic in of course Duck egg blue, and our first sighting of Wing Commander Badminton-Squash RAF DFC, most magnificent moustache etc,etc,etc And one other chap, his pipe and K9 A little progress to the base The new street lamp has been fitted and soldered to the battery box A cheeky test to check my soldering Happy with that. The base plate was sprayed with Halfords grey primer, then the bricks have had brown and red weathering powder rubbed into them, then a grey pin wash. The road has had some European dust and a mix of the red brown powder rubbed over it and set using Ammo by Mig, weathering setting solution and finally a coat of Humbrol Matt varnish via the rattle can. What crime is an egg most afraid of? Poaching. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe to say the fire hydrant won’t be used. Now I just need to see if @JOCKNEY has any of this tartan paint left, that @trickyrich sold him 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes please, they will come in handy keeping the Harrier in the hover I have seen new lads sent to the ATC tower to get the keys for the windsock, and then to tech stores for a long weight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
