Well,at least i'm honest enough to admit,"wot i ain't done" :winkgrin:

Hopefully,the '123 will get done,it's just an SOB masking job !! :confused:

I'll keep you posted.

Cheers,baz.

:lol: Hi Bazza

No worries mate- forgot to say we have until 31st July to finish- the time seems to be whizzing by, but hopefully there is still time for you to complete a good job of the Hs123 :D

no woty you mean about the masking, some of the angles of the splinter pattern are a tad acute, as i found out when i made the Airfix kit. It was an early build on returning to the hobby and would do things differently now.

at the risk of teaching Grannie to suck eggs, i would lay the masking tape on the shiny side of some sticker label backing (i recycle the address label backing paper) and draw the splinters. Then cut with new scalpel blade so there would be a positive and negative mask.

hth- it always sounds so easy - in the theory! :lol:

I am just wanting to see if i can get a touch or two done, but basically can post in the gallery.

Bazza is finished but wanting a camera.

Sarge is almost home and dry

Stebos is entering the finishing straight

Blimp is going to be nip and tuck

Jonners pulled out of the Bulldog build

my 1st build took so long the Vultee barely got going :(

the rest, maybe a dozen or so were non starters

have i missed anyone? apologies if i have.

How is the Electra going Maxidad? have you made any progress?

Thanks for remembering. It's going on... but sadly it'll never be done by tomorrow. I reckon it's got about another 10 days work on it. The nacelles have been the bogeyman on this one, requiring carefull alignment, filling, sanding, etc. Try and get some pix on later.
