    Hi Ian, Thank you for your very kind remarks. I must apologise for the delay in replying to you but please see my earlier reply to Sancer that explains the reasons. If it's still pertinent, I would have no objection to you using my photos on your Facebook group. Best regards, Gerry

    Hi Luis Carlos, Hi Luis Carlos, thank you for your message regarding the Lancaster build. I must apologise for the delay in replying but I lost a great deal of last year - between March and December with a recurrent illness that I have been fighting. Unfortunately, I neglected a lot of things...

    Brendan 'Paddy' Finucane Spitfire Mk Vb.

    Hi Guys, Interesting to see this thread getting a revival. I haven't been following the forum as much as I might have and have only spotted it now. I had a bit of a rollercoaster year health-wise in 2022 and am really only getting back to normal since January. Hopefully it's all behind me now...

    1:48 Supermarine Walrus Mk.1. Tandem Build - Two kits

    Here's a short update of recent progress on the SMER Walrus. As there are a lot fewer parts on this kit, I was interested to see how easily or difficultly the exterior would come together. I put the more complex Airfix Kit aside while I looked at this. What I discovered is that, although there...

    Thankfully, in this instance, when the cockpit is enclosed it hides a multitude!

    Thanks to all for your comments on my last post. Well, I did a job on the pilot and this is how he ended up. The modeling on the SMER figure wasn't great but that probably helped adding extra uniform detail – with the exception of the facial features that were non-existent. The pilot featured...

    Thanks again to all for your positive reactions and commendations. Here's the most recent update. I've been concentrating on progressing the painting of the interiors of both kits but, for reasons I'll explain later, I've got more done on the Airfix build than on the SMER. First, all the...

    Gentlemen, Whatever magic you worked, everything is conforming automatically now. The QuarkXpress programme is exporting everything , including the urls, directly to the forum without any extra input from myself. Thanks to everyone who suggested solutions. I wouldn't have had a hope of solving...

    1:48 Supermarine Walrus Mk.1. Tandem Build - Two kits

    So to progress, it was the case, on both builds, to put as much detail and PE in position on the interiors that would eventually be painted in Interior Green. First, on the Airfix Walrus. I had actually bought the PE originally without realizing that the Airfix Walrus was so detailed. I've...

    Thank you Marcel. Your suggestion to change from Word has worked. I can export text directly to the forum using QuarkXpress. The photos still need to to be individually imported but that's not a problem. I will take a break from it now and continue my post tomorrow. Once again, thanks everyone...

    Thank you gentlemen, As before, I type up the complete post as a Word document. The interspersed photos were first uploaded to Village.photos and an URL downloaded, commencing with IMG (Brackets) and /IMG (Brackets) inserted between the text. The document is then copied and pasted directly...
