Fozzy's scratch build offerings for 2010

[Fozzy 2,377]

Hi every body

I only joined this fantastic forum I think during this last summer and I have to say that I feel that I have made some good friends even though I have never met them!!I expect if I did meet them I would probably hate them! .................no really I found that it makes modelling more fun and the help and encouragment at times I have had in this short time of being a member has been fantastic!...So a big thanks goes out to every one who has taken an interest in my model making.

Having looked at some of the offerings from most of you I'm afraid that I only have a few models to show for this year.This is because I have been concentrating on teaching my self to scratch build and it has taken me a lot longer to finish a model than it used to !!

So any how here are my 4 models I have built this year.

Starting at the beginning of the year I finished this 1:48 scale Monogram Corsair F4U-4.......as you can see I pretentiously used as my Avitar

Then I started Scratch building and had a go at building a Sopwith F1 Camel.......this was built mainly out of Balsa Wood and paper card and is in 1:20 scale

Also during the year I won a International Competition here in Bulgaria with this JU87 Cut away Stuka

....and finally this year I finished this Scratch built Westland Lysander in 1:30 scale....again Balsa Wood and any thing that I could lay my hands on..

Well thats it for this year I guess....just leaves me to say that I hope everyone has a great Xmas and New Year.

Cheers

Fozzy

Absolutely stunning stuff Fozzy!!!

I've seen the pics before and I was very impressed with the Lizzie but absolutely amazed by the Stuka! Made me very very jealous!

Haven't seen the Camel before though, again a superb job.

Fozzy, maybe you should consider putting a little detail into your builds?

Jokes aside, fantastic scratchbuilding there!

Amazing work, I couldn't imagine doing one of them in ten years let alone four in one year.

Fozzy - I only just spotted this. I have to say I love the Camel to bits. As for the Corsair, I didn't know you did "proper" models - lovely though. And all the other stuff... lovely.

Pretty lovely all round in fact
