TV or Movies that contained modeling content

If I remember rightly
This might be a bit yucky but in the Saw films didn't jigsaw make models of all his contraptions of death in diorama form


Robert

in Tim Burton's Beetlejuice, main character were building scale model of the town, which they living in, at their house's penthouse.

I just watched an episode from one of the early (second?) series of 'The Likely Lads' entitled 'Someday We'll Laugh About This'. In it Terry, who is supposed to be doing some work on Bob and Thelma's house, pops out to 'visit' the woman at number 39. Her absent husband builds models and she complains about the smell of 'balsa and glue' though the models seen are plastic.

A lot of the aircraft in the "Battle of Britain" film were models .......... Made by Master Models.

How many of the models from 'The Likely Lads' can you identify? It's a 1974 episode, so presumably filmed in '73/'74.

I would say a p51 and hurricane in 1/24 scale and a B17 in 1/48 , it does look like there is another but I can't make it out

[stona]

I agree on the types but am trying to think of the kits which were available in '73/'74. Is that P-51 1/24?


Cheers


Steve

[Alan 45]

Come to think of it the P51 looks more like its 1/32 , I'd go with the B17 being revell I built one of these and the size looks right and I from the moald side say it was a 70s release I think the starter for 10 is the hurricane unless someone else built a 1/24 hurricane in the 70s as for the make of the P51 I don't know who would have done that

[stona]

Yep, the Monogram/Revell 1/48 B-17 for sure. I'd go with the Airfix Hurricane if it was released by 1973/4 and I have a feeling it was. Still cogitating on the P-51

I've done a bit of scouting and the only one I can find it a revell 1/32 P51 but I couldn't get an exact year all it said was 30 odd years ago and that puts it a number of years later, monogram did release one but it gave no time frame on that it is a puzzle there not even a mention on scalemates and they usually do a history of kit releases

[stona]

I can't remember a P-51 from this time, but then I wasn't making kits at this period.


I know this was the 1970s but look at the wall paper in the background!!!!!!!!!

The Airfix P51 in 1:24th I just built had a stamped date of 1972 so it could have been that one.


Adrian

[Alan 45]

I don't think it's 1/24 Adrian it looks to small compared to the hurricane behind it unless it was a much smaller fighter that is

[stona]

I think it's smaller too Adrian. Good to know your P-51 had a 1972 date, because that means the Hurricane is probably the Airfix kit as we'd guessed.


1/48 scale? The old Hawk kit had been around for years by the early seventies!

Someone elsewhere has suggested the 1/32 Monogram kit of the P-51 (the one with retractable undercarriage) about which I had forgotten. I think that is probably it.


There is a fourth model, but it only appears fleetingly as water pours through the ceiling, Terry having fixed the woman's bath! Whatever it is it is incomplete. Obviously the tail plane didn't fit. It might be a Lancaster.

Lovely view of that wall paper.
