You don't half put the pressure on yourself, don't you?

Look forward to seeing it in whatever form.

Hi, All,

Decided to get some replacement new decals containing window and door outlines from Draw decals, the same firm who did the 'Kulula Airlines' ones, so I'm sure they will be spot on.

Ordered them from America yesterday, so hopefully they will be here as painting of airframe comes close.
Hope to have this ready for Huddersfield.

Christine leaves me alone when I'm modelling so I am very lucky in that respect, but I do like some kind of back ground noise music/speaking books/ whatever.
If something goes wrong I can turn up the volume. Reasoning is..................
'In space no one can hear you scream, in my model room volume up, no one can hear me blaspheme'

Hi Wizzel,
Looks flaming good mate (pardon pun)

Funny enough I'd even thought at an early stage posing my Concorde taking off on that fateful day with flames belching out on take-off.
This might just be the way to do it, looking how good your 'experiment' is. Would like to see the model when finished, it looks fearsome and realistic.
Very well done mate.

A Box Radiator? never seen one of them before.
Good work, can't wait to see this on the table sometime.

I like it because it smells nice!

As opposed to some of my other modelling solvents and paints.........................

I find it gives a really good smooth glass like finish, and is hard enough to withstand my handling!

Hi All,
Well the fuselage is drying nicely, and I will post after I have given it a first rub down.
In the meantime I have decided that rather than us the nose pitot supplied, I will replace it with a metal dress making pin.
To do so I have filled the nose cone with Milliput, for a solid attachment. Once set the nose will be drilled to accept the pin, and a filler of Superglue and talcum powder used to fair it in when glued in place.
Pictures attached to show.

Hi Zak,
They don't look too dingy to me.
Only small,l but beautifully formed like their builder.

Hi Zak,

I'm going for a more aerodynamic look now.

The hair on my chin grows quicker than the top of my head, could it be gravitational force?

Hi Zak,
I guess we both got carried away, didn't we?

Hi Wizzel,

Like Zak, I like something not to loud or obtrusive.
Currently listening to 'Bomber' by Len Dieghton, an old cassette book, but something of interest to me.

Hi Haddock,

A lot of fun, messing about in small boats.

Wonderful Stuff Zak.

Skill by the bucket load!!  I admire all your builds, your drawing skills are pretty hot too...................

Now I'm thinking of an extension on my house, can you do drawings for that??

Only joking, but I am sure you could do it if required.
