What's on The Workbench

[fubar57]

Ripped off the fin flashes, didn't like the way I positioned them as in Post #5431, again Airfix, again, very skookum decals. Home-made serial numbers but I don't know if I'll keep them on...

Hey George, nothing wrong with a change in thinking, done that a few times myself...

Ok.. the next small device for the Kingfisher is made. To show its dimensions, the pics were taken with a match this time....

Great work guys. Geo, I think you're right with the OD anti-glare panel. The s/n decals look good to me but the density can be enhanced by printing another set and applying them over top the first set. Makes for a thicker decal but will look blacker.

Thanks Andy, printed off about 20 images of each letter and alphabet, doh. Nice little bottle Wojtek. What did you use for straps? I tried using very thin plastic strip with little success.

Thanks Geo. I have used a thin aluminium foil from a chocolate coin, sticking with the Superglue.

GB is done so back to the P-40N. Almost put it back in the box. A test fit of the rear clear part revealed that it wouldn't fit flush. I thought that maybe I had installed the rear fuel tank wrong but after some pondering and dithering, I found that the rear part of the clear was too narrow so out came a flat file and large round file. Still a bit of work to make it fit but I have to pack and head off to camp today. Also added the legs.

Looking good there Geo As for me I finished the Poetz 633 a few weeks ago and got the urge to do the S.S.Baltimore.The kit has been in the stash for a couple of years weras a neighbor and I went in hallves on the purchase.The understanding is that I do the wood and he does the rigging(he builds wood ship models).The great thing is that should and I wll get hung up on the planking he will guide me through first hand.The ship when finished will measure out at 32"L X 22"H sporting six cannons (har har har)and figuring one year to complete.

Good stuff Geo, and an interesting build there Kevin. What scale is that?

 

[Wayne Little]

very cool Kevin!

Yours is coming along nicely too George.

Great work guys!

Kevin, have you seen Andy's thread about an unofficial ship build? Be great to see your Baltimore in there.
