zebra Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Crikey Tony, you've been busy, took ages scrolling through that lot! Absolutely brilliant collection, impossible to pick a favourite although the Walrus would have to be a contender. Roll on 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 That’s a fantastic output Tony & quite an inspiration too. Lots of subjects I have planned, mainly the obscure FAA and CC stuff, but you’ve tempted us with a generous helping from across the board! All the best for 2021 mate! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedders Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 A great collection for 2020 Tony. Curtiss Aeroplane & Motor Co will be particularly pleased with your production figures, but there's something for pretty much everyone here. Missed the RAF Herc somehow, but will look for it now. All best for 2021! Justin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Wow!!!! Just wow!!! I think you Must build in your sleep as well as the waking hours. I was going to go back and count but I figured what’s the point. 🤪 Every one a real treat. Sch an inspiration. Thanks for sharing. I had an extra Tiger moth for Christmas. I can now follow you and do two. 🙌🤩😍 Happy new year. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Blimey that is mightily impressive. It may not be the most popular build but I really like the Valletta. I also like the metallic finish on several of your models. Knowing you are a hairy stick wielder, what’s your secret? Trevor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`ve almost finished a third 48th Tiger Moth which has been decalled and was just ready for rigging,.... but I`ve lost the propeller spinner/spigot which flew off when I blew the propeller like a big kid,.... so it has gone back in the box! Serched everywhere and the carpet monster has well and truly claimed it! 1 hour ago, Max Headroom said: Blimey that is mightily impressive.

Trevor Cheers Trevor,...... yeah the Valletta was a year highlight for me too,.... always wanted to build this type nd finally got the chance,,...... hopefully we`ll get a Hastings sometime soon and holy of holy,... a Beverley???? Re the silver,.... I`ve recently discovered that life is too short to brush paint certain colours over a large area and for silver, red, yellow and white I use rattle cans now,...... the silver I prefer is Tamiya Bare Metal Silver. With matt varnish applied it is a decent reproduction of RAF Silver paint. Cheers Fellas, Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No WIP mate,..... just went to open the box to take a pic and found the missus had put something heavy on top of it,..... and snapped the interplane struts too! This kit is definitely jinxed! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where there any shoes or boxes around? I found a bit glued to my sock once. 🤦♂️ Ahh all the fun of modelling eh.

I`ve got the prop,.... it is just the small shaft and spinner part which holds the prop in place which has gone missing,..... searched everywhere,.... even my socks,...... nothing,... so might have to look at making something from scratch!! Bit narked that I have to mend those struts too now,..... could have done without that! The scheme comes from Model Art Decal System..... Jean-Pierre has done a lovely sheet of Tiger Moths. Yeah all part of the fun eh,.... character building! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Sorry to hear about the Tiggie Tony, it looked lovely too in the RN scheme. Hope you get the struts rebuilt okay and the prop bits too. Like Johnny said it might be worth getting onto Airfix for the bits you need. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
