Ruskin Air Services Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Finally over the finish line, nearly asked myself why did I decide to do this conversion with out a little practice first. But it turned out OK: And with a few friends: Model on, boys 31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Wow! Nice job--you got it symmetrical and everything. Judging from your collection in the last slide, I'd say you're a bit Dakota Mad. Best regards, Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone has done one on the hyperscale website and leading edge did a resin conversion set including decals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Nice job. Is there a reason why no fin flash? Just to detour a bit, I am interested in seeing that your shed / mancave is not insulated. Is it not cold or damp during these cold and wet months?/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Well done glad you got it across the line,looks great. It would be nice to see those models you have underneath the shelf, you can just see a few peeking out. Excellent job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for shedquarters I have a small heater on a timer that runs for 1/2 an hour every 4 hours and that keeps the damp at bay. Though in about 6 weeks shedquarters 2 will be erected and I will dry line it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally I boarded out my loft but when summer is here it turned into a right sweatbox so I had a good build shed. Unfortunately this is the other side of shedquarters but when shedquarters 2 arrives this will not happen! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Thankyou very nice collection, look forward to seeing more 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 At least you have somewhere to display your builds. All mine are in boxes and now lodge in my new bigger shed. I do have better room to model but no where to show off my work and any other space is taken by my kit stash and household DIY tools etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
