I just lurve your table cloth

Or more seriously, please use a plain background for your photos. The sprue shots are really hard to make out.

Are the dials & controls painted or a decal?

Thanks and cheers

Sorry for that! :o The following pictures will be with a plain background.

The dials are a decal by the way. There is no dial detail on the panel unfortunately. :(

I've got a Trumpeter Wellington Mk. X lined up if I ever finish the Vulcan. Wondering how you got the clean finish on the raised silver/grey geodesic interior frame (without smearing it all over the tan interior)? :)

I used a microbrush ultrafine for this. And the drybrush technique.

The white ones:

Useful idea, thanks.

What do you make of the fabric effect. I did the 48 version and thought that the upper wing fabric bulged upwards where it should be sagging down. As though the mouldmakers had worked from an 'in flight' photograph. Is it the same in 72?

After a few months of no modelling (moved recently and my 2nd daughter was born :wub: ), I found a lost hour to do some this weekend.

I painted the bombbay black and glued the front turret together. When I find the charger for my camera I will place some pics.

Congratulations. I'm trying to find the time to paint my Vulcan, but end up spending it with the baby or painting the new house.

I was watching this thread to see how you got on with it. Look forward to more progress :)

For the first time a used a wash, still needs a lot of practice.

Sadly I haven't had the time to make progress on this beauty :sorry: . But I will finish this one. I will open a new topic in the Work in progress - Aircraft section when I continue this build within short time.
