Hi Msea,
Could the one on the right be the brother of 'Giant Bradley' of Market Weighton??

Or Jaws from the James Bond films.

On Steroids?

Transfers added and matt varnish.
Needs glazing, wing mirrors and a few extras adding.

[zak]

Just about finished, no weathering - sorry.

Whether to weather?

Whether or not to weather is the question?

Another excellent scratch built model Dave.

Thanks Chris.
I have been trying to put together some smaller vignettes, here's one for Bill.
Captions on a postcard please and keep it clean.
Foibles to the fore.
Figures still to be painted, a work in progress.

Brilliant Dave!

I've noticed the different 'sizes' of various manufacturers' figures... the ones in the Airfix 1/48 groundcrew ser scale out about 1/43rd scale!

Been doing a bit of modelling outside on the patio table this afternoon, trying to catch up with your output Dave...
... but failing miserably!

Keep trying, I may now have peaked and BOB modelling is nearing an end - just preparing you all.

I am busy painting figures at the moment and so nothing much to show really. I did attempt another taxi but am not very pleased with the results.
The windows were glazed with Humbrol Clear and I am not that impressed with my efforts.
Note to self - must do better - always on my school reports " Could do better, must apply himself more". No not as a pupil as a teacher.

That's a hell of an area to glaze with PVA!
Or have I misunderstood what you have done.

No, you have understood, Humbrol Clearfix is clear and an air drying glue, if it is persuaded to span a gap it usually sets as a window, maybe the area was a bit big, I have done it in 1/76 with success.

Here is a figure so far.
