jRatz Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 These fellows, who need no introduction, were done for the Maurice Landi Memorial GB on UAMF/CBK last year. Unfortunately I ran shy of time & they didn't get rigged ... John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Here's my last 2 Matchbox builds. I did a fair bit of scratching especially in the cockpits. Not sure I'll go to that extent this time . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Thommo, they are beauts and no mistake. I really like them both! MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Thommo, they are beauts and no mistake. I really like them both! MikeJ Thanks Johno - they are favourites in my cabinet, esp the Buckeye. I won the local model shop comp grand champion with that one. And to think I started out as a dedicated prop builder - I've really taken a shine to jets now - don't have to paint prop blades for starters which is a bonus ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nemicissim0 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Thanks. But since I think the best way to replicate a spinning prop is cutting away the blades, I finally removed even the clear disc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
