stevehnz Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Ooooh, I do like that/them. The F4F especially, very much what I have planned for one of mine, hopefully it'll measure up to yours. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Hi Dennis, The only things I've ever built which had wings on them are the Space Shuttle and the original BSG Viper back when I was in my late teens, but I do like military aircraft and do occasionally browse what's on offer. Nice work on the 3 shown above. We do have a few things in common............ the use of coke bottle lids as palettes, mixing paints, holders for varnish etc being one, and the 'tidiness' of our work-stations. Mine would look similar to yours on a 'very tidy' day. lol Rearguards, Badder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The village I live in is the only one for about 50 miles in any direction that isn't buying water from Lake Michigan/Chicago. They use well water which is nasty and i wont even use it to make Ice cubes. When it freezes it gets a red rime from something in the water. As for my work station, wellllll I need to go and get rid of stuff in my storage that is old and not well done. Once thats done I can put all the newer stuff thats on my desk/drawers into storage and make room again. I really also need to buy some paint racks as well. 31 minutes ago, dogsbody said: Somehow I've missed this, Dennis. Looks great! Nicely done. Chris No worries Chris Thank you for the compliment. Looking forward to your Beaufort, do you have a WIP going or no ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to your Beaufort, do you have a WIP going or no ? No, not started it yet. There's just been too many other things going on. We have a contractor who's doing a main bathroom change-out for us. The whole room was stripped down to the studs. A new tube has been put in along with new drywall. They had to do a careful removal of the old stuff because testing picked up some asbestos in the old mid-70's original material. We're still waiting for the new custom-built vanity, as all new pre-built won't fit the room. It's either 6" too short or about 1.5" too long! Then there's new flooring. It's a slow process. All I've done with the Beaufort so far is to gently fondle and touch the sprues. You know, the usual opening moves. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
