Just asking as I lost email for a while and found that they were dropping into my 'Junk Mail'. Once you approve one, the rest should flow through (though not retrospectively). If the browser, have you tried another? Sorry, hope I'm not telling you how to suck eggs?!?! Cheers Nigel P.S. The Hurricane looks rather spectacular with the prop running On 07/10/2020 at 18:23, Johnson said: Wonderful work Stix! I love the spinning prop shots, the blur is perfect.

Great job, really looks the part. Hi @janneman36 @Ozzy @giemme @wimbledon99 @Johnson @GREG DESTEC & @Peter Roberts Thank you to everyone for your very kind comments. Nigel - thank you for your thoughts on the Outlook email issue. Unfortunately nothing from BM via Microsoft is turning up on any of my devices - not even in Junk. Mike is trying to work with Microsoft to resolve the issue. Once more I must apologise for the length between my update posts plus my lack of commenting in other people's threads. This is not like me at all. I love BM GBs because of the shared experiences of building models in a 'theme'. Time seems to get away from me at the moment. As I have said before - I'm not complaining - I am lucky enough to still have a job but I am either really busy at work or knackered after work!! Doesn't take much for me to fall asleep on the sofa mid evening at the moment! Over last weekend I decided to drag this one over the finish line. I was originally going to build everything that came in the 'Ready for Battle' set but - at the moment - it would mean this project would not have been finished before the end of the GB. So there are photos in the Gallery which can be found HERE There are lots of photos of the Hurricane itself which can be found in the Aircraft RFI section HERE And more photos of the final scene can be found HERE A few photos here of the finished scene: Thank you to the hosts of this superb GB and to everyone who kindly took the time to comment or offer suggestions in this thread. If you are still building your project.....good luck!! Comments and suggestions always welcome. Kind regards, Stix 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREG DESTEC Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Excellent result Stix 👍 Great photography really shows off your top notch workmanship. The spinning prop really gives the photos a sense of action and atmosphere. Great work. 🍺 Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I saw this through sleepy eyes on my iPhone last night, however I’m just looking at this now on a larger screen. This is totally awesome modelling in every way. All pieces are beautifully built and presented which makes for as very accurate and atmospheric display. Love every bit of it.. very well done. Cheers.. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookenbacher Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Wow, you've done it again Stix - amazing diorama, I think I can hear the Merlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I can only apologise for not keeping up with your build my friend, I can see that I have been missing out on some classic Stix work too. The end result is just fantastic, a really nice and realistic little diorama which is very evocative of the period. Great use of figures and equipment again, just enough. Very well done mate.

tantr0x Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Amazing work, I'll be pleased if I eventually achieve a finish half as good! I've watched your YouTube video on painting a couple of times and found it really helpful but was wondering, do you brush your pledge and matt varnish coats too and if so are they diluted in any way?
