Hi Everyone,

Whether you are a member of the club, or just one of our many 'guests', I would just like to wish each and everyone of you a Very Happy New Year, and all the Best for 2019!!

I hope that in 2019, we all move forward in our modelling experiences and learn from each other, and by the end of the year are better modellers, and more confident in the techniques and practices used, and for the really brave willing to post your 'latest' project here.

God Bless to All,

Cheers,
Kevin

Hi All,
Currently on with a Type VIID Minelaying submarine in 1/350.
This basically the VIIC that I built a while back, but on this one I am using etched brass to replace the railings and grab rails etc.
As you can see I am now at the painting stage, the etch brass causing me a few headaches along the way, especially the railing around the upper gun deck.
Taking advice from Haddock, I used an old drill bit to roll the railing into a curve but could not get the radius I wanted, so resorted to a small section of brass rod of narrower section and tried again, after several attempts got something like.
Have attached some photo's of my progress so far.
Cheers,
Bigkev

Hi All,
Not posted for a while, but have been keeping my hand in behind the scenes as it were.
I have just embarked upon building some models of the EE Lightning. My aim is to cover at least all of the production marks of the Lightning.
My first model is a an Lightning F.2A from Airfix. The model is built from the box, with the exception of the ejector seat which is a Barracuda Resin example. Model is finished as an aircraft of 92 Squadron, based at Gutersloh, Germany.
No build pictures this time, just the finished article, which I hope you like.
Cheers,
Bigkev

Hi All,

Well whilst I was on with the Mirage Type IXc Submarine, I also began in the background this model.
Pen Pusher kindly gave me this model to build, as it had a bit more etch to practice on compared to the Mirage offering.
The model generally is well moulded in pale grey plastic of a short run nature and some detail is a little soft, however the etch is really good and fine and includes a full deck as well as railings, ariel's, cable cutters, antenna's.
On this build I have placed some plasticine and lead weights inside the hull to give a sense of weight to the model. Also I created a base from some of the parts provided, and some scratchbuilt supports.
Anyway a few pictures follow of the model so far from start to finish. 
Cheers,
Bigkev

Hi All,

Well just to tease you, I am in the middle of another project as well as the VIIc Submarine in 1/350.

Any ideas what it is?

Bigkev

Hi All,
Well I've not posted anything for a while.
However, have been doing a little and this is just finished. It is a DHC-1 Chipmunk in 1/48th.
Kit is a short run kit by John Adams of Aeroclub. Had this model a while half finished so had to be done.
Happy with result, straight from box except replacement roundels/fin flashes, and some lead foil seat belts.
Some pictures follow:-
