  1. A lot of great looking mods going on! Would love to see a pic of the entire model.
  2. Liking your progress. The old girl is shaping up real well!
  3. Do to some bad miscalculations on my part as well as a bad fitting resin drop in, I am in need of Airfix Seafire fuselage halves. And the cowl bulges.  Part numbers are 19 and 20 (the fuse halves) 18 (the prop shaft) and cowl bulges 46 and 47. If someone has these parts I'd be interested in purchasing. Still on the spru would be better, but if someone has a kit they are thinking of trashing and the nose is in good shape, I'd be interested then too. My email is Thome216@yahoo.com Thanks, Thom. 
  4. What is that thing with the bananas..? It's so weirdly compelling!
  5. I believe this is to scale. It is on the smaller size. I'm wondering if this is a new interpretation of the older Yuunagi patrol cruiser or the smaller frigate? It seems to have elements of both. Either way when (if) they come out with a kit, its guns should work good as secondaries on the larger ships.
  6. I was just about to start working on one of my Andies when I saw this... It's the new frigate from the latest trailer. I was thinking of ways to add extra guns to my Andromeda, which is to be named Antlantia, but now I think I'll wait until these come out and resin/copy the guns for that.
  7. As always, some fantastic work from bow to stern! I love the little detail parts tucked into the corners and it's a shame you can't cast copies of that engine. Anxiously awaiting the end!
  8. Not much for the tiny kits, but you did great on that one! Especially for someone who hasn't seen SBY 2199!? If you loved the original, you'll be sure to love this one. It's available to watch from several anime sites, though they are fan subs so some are better than others at translating the dialogue. Give it a shot - and build more of your fleet!
  9. Well, what we've seen so far is looking pretty good. I'm sure the final product will have been well worth the effort put into it, as you usually do stellar work!
  10. Nice job! That paint looks really good, and it has a nicely restrained weathering.
  11. Always great seeing those intricate little touches! The lights are making it pop too.
  12. Seeing what's been done so far, we have no doubts of the outcome!
  13. Thank you, and that is a great looking Lanc!
  14. I painted up the radiators, took a pic, and then gave them dark wash... The PE parts are too wide of the nacelles, so I got out the dremel and grouted out some more room. And then punched through with one of them. Doh!! No worries though. A little stretched sprue and glue, then a shave and it will be all well again.
  15. All that work, and working gear to boot! Wowza!
  16. Thank you very much all! Hope to really get (re)started on Fanny on my day off Monday. Actually pretty simple. When you have the plastic or plexi shaped to fit the wing, just drill a small hole into the plastic, then dip some paint in. Boom, bulb!
  17. So, I'm also building a 1/48 S6B for the Floatplane GB on Britmodeller (which I will not finish in time as I am awaiting paint and I am super slow on builds.) That one is on hold until the paint arrives, or until some time soon after, so I am going back to what I was doing for the Matchbox GB, and that is the 1/72 Lancaster - with extras... Obligatory box-shot! I got this for $10 bucks while at a model show. So I don't mind splurging on extras! I have PE for the gear wells, IP and belts, resin for the tiny scoops to either side of the nacelles
  18. Slow progress still being made. Pretty sure I won't finish the GB that it's in, but that's alright. So, I have the cockpit pretty much done, all except for paint. The seat is set as well and just needs paint and PE. Headrest also done, though I don't have any pics of that, as well as the control stick, which is just a thin, cut down nail. Yes, a little messy, but most of that won't be seen through the narrow opening. The seat is not glued in yet, and the dial faces still need their decals. Hope to close this up pretty soon.
  19. Those are some great looking pilots, and I really like the 'adjustments' to the airframe. Way cool.
  20. Nice progress. I'll have to keep checking this from time to time.
  21. That's some real lovely work! I have a few of the Koster kits in the stack, one an XP-47 that didn't end well, but also a B-17C conversion. He does some great stuff, and reasonably priced as long as you get it from him and not ebay... I'll be watching for the finish!
  22. I think it's looking good. Keep it coming
  23. It's like a reverse explosion, with all the parts falling right back into their intended place.
