Work in Progress

[bridlufc]

Hi all, at the moment I am working steadily away at the Revell 1/72 S100 Schnellboot and I have started the Revell 1/72 B1 Lancer, big kit by the way, and I bet the 1/48 is pretty impressive too! I have been asked to spray a body shell for a Tamiya 1/10 Racing Buggy as well. This came about because my airbrush compressor developed a leak which would be rather difficult to repair so I looked for alternatives. I resigned myself to be paying £50 or £60 for a new one and got talking to a new chap at work. I explained the problem with my compressor and it turned out he had bought a few compressors from a chap that was dealing in power tools. He explained that they were brand new worked perfectly but there was slight damage to the body of the compressor. It was a Draper with a 24 litre tank. Expecting to pay about £30 - £40 for it, so I snatched his hand off when he said you can have it for the price of a pint and can you do a spray job for me!!!
Lady Luck works in mysterious ways!!

Hi Bridlufc,

Man, you got yourself the 'Real Deal' in that compressor. A pint and a spray job for that, I think your quids in mate.

Anyway onto spraying myself now, some nice white decal film for some canopy frames on another project for someone at work! Happy days...........................

 Hi Geoff, I've seen some of the aerosan model kits advertised on the internet and I have been rather intrigued by them. I am sure there are two versions but I am not sure who made the kits. I hope you are going to bring it to a future club meet even as work in progress

Regards Tony

you are right there are 2 different ones coz i was looking at the other version in modelzone yesterday,speaking of there,i dont know if it is me or not but <excuse the pun here> it appears they are scaling down the amount of models they stock and are heading more towards the radio- controlled.....and die cast market

sill managed to pick up a bargain there though and there are a some good buys to be had of airfix model ships
