Fozzy Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 Hi Fozzy,Just followed your WIP thread for the Lysander build and it is inspiring! Makes me want to try some first-principles scratchbuilding (one day....). Where do you get the plans for your builds? Excellent work again Cheers Hi James I normaly search the Internet for free plans....usually take them from Radio Controlled aircraft sites....there is always something about! Have a go at it mate.....My first Scratch build was crap but the more you do the better you get at it.....I ought to start a Scratch Build appreciation club Cheers Fozzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's truly brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crookedmouth Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Fozzy - I just got back from a trip away & I've a few shots of duty free Grouse inside me, so my judgement may be a tad clouded but I reckon that's a real Lizzie. whrere did you see it & When's the model gonna be finished?

larkie Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Hi Kev......The next build is a cutaway Mk1/2 Spitfire in 1:24 Scale. I started it in 2006 and havn't done anything to it for a year but I think I should now get it finished once and for all!!.....Cutaway's are not every ones cup of tea ...but I love doing them Hmmm, I'm just about to start Italeri's 1:72 Spitfire Mk.IX. Why do I get the impression your Spit's going to look a bit more realistic than mine? Absolutely brilliant work, Fozzy. Can't wait to see the new one.

OK - so you claimed to own a Lada, but you've given yourself away. Do you hitch the wife into the traces to get to market? Almost there with the Fokker - it's looking rather nice to be honest. It's almost a shame that it doesn't need much rigging. I'll be moving on to the Roden Brisfit soon tho' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire23bc Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 How do I avoid repeating what everyone else is saying...? ... ... No, it's no good: Fozzy, that Lysander is gorgeous! Really, truly, an inspirational build, not least because it was so quick! It usually takes me that long to get a model out of the box, let alone even think about scratch-building! I'm very much looking forward to seeing more of your work. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
