Revell 1/72nd Supermarine Walrus Mk.1

It must be catching - I'm the same with at least six or more models! One of those things I'll do when it's ready to go on a base. Yeah! Right!

 

[A4K]

How familiar...

 

[Venganza]

Only six or more models, Airframes? You're lucky - I can't count high enough to know how many nearly completed models I have tucked away safely out of sight (out of sight, out of mind). Sometimes I think we modellers have the attention span of children - just as we're about to finish a kit, another nice, shiny new kit comes along that takes our attention away, so off into some dusty corner goes our forlorn almost-finished model while we play with our new toy.

So very true! Good to hear I'm not the only one!

 

[Catch22]

Same here, I do that all the time.

Looking forward to pics Matt!

The rigging is now all done (unless I'm become more bold). I dropped her once and cringed. But it was only a little battle damage. Tail wheel/rudder is now on, wing floats and fuselage windows decals are on.

I would post pics, but want to just finish at this point. Need to install:

* Sliding pilot window
* Lewis gun
* HF aerials
* Bow ropes

Should be done soon. Here's a rigging pic as a teaser...

Nice work Matt!

 

[Matt308]

Thanks, Catch. More to come. Gotta cook hamburgers for the family. Perhaps by this Friday.

 

[Catch22]

Looking forward to it!

You really did a good job with that rigging, tricky stuff.

Looks bloody good Matt!

 

[Trebor]

[Wayne Little]

Looks Bl**dy fantastic as it is now......well done Matt....

 

[Screaming Eagle]

Looking good Matt, those wires scare me!

 

[A4K]

Beautiful work Matt! I love that rigging - what's your technique?

(And "Amen" Venganza - you are the voice of the people, or atleast the modelling population! )

 

[Matt308]

Surger thread (linen), superglue and minimize the number of runs. Each wing is only two different threads with the end-corners-end tacked. Here's the basic gist...

 

[A4K]

Thanks Matt! That's a great idea.

Just noticed your weathering on the engine fairing too...fantastic!!!

 

[Lucky13]

Bl**dy nice work there Matt!

 

[Matt308]

Thanks, guys. I'm anxious to get her done. I'm already started on a VERY basic A6M5. A much quicker build.

 

[A4K]

...That's what they all say Matt...

Looking good Matt.
