Its a family photo of me and Mum Jakko, not a poster:thumb2:

The one I posted is actually R the R….”We can do it“ was a completely different campaign, used for weeks then forgotten for years! The image was based on R the R though….both are fantastic images, and show in pictures what the West and East did that the central powers never did to any degree….mobilised the female workforce.

I can’t tell if this is a joke, and/or if Tim’s reply to your version of the poster I posted was.

 

[Steve Jones]

Its all just good old banter Jakko. Happy modelling my friend

Childhood dream finally fulfilled. Box-stock build but more to follow. As Kanonier Soldat Von Baldrick would say, " I have a cunning plan".





Apart from spending the rest of my life with one of a short list of beautiful film stars, I only have one single thing left on my bucket list.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Looking good Dan. Sounds like you need a new bucket list as well!

Did your mum have her middle finger raised and they photo shopped it out. Dave :tongue-out3:

OK all….for those who have not been able to wait for the next thrilling instalment….here are the doggy riders….



Sorry about the blurring in the pictures…..and the delay….They took longer than I thought. Hope you like them….
Just the shields and final assembly to go…..hopefully a couple more days….

Love what you do Tim, fantastic stuff.

Many thanks Mark. I appreciate the support.

Not sure how a bloke is supposed to get any painting done around here…..but it’s on topic….she’s on the bench!

 

[Guest]

So that’s where one of my cats goes when I can’t find her anywhere: to have a drink from a certain workbench in Somerset …

You cat people are crazy. There's no way I'd let my Collie help me model...

I'm having a bash at a sort of diving and snorkeling holiday advert thingy for a chance to dive on sunken ordinance from WW2. To include a tank. an aircraft, and a landing craft. All 1/72. Also possibly a submarine in a smaller scale!

I've made a start on the aircraft. It's a 1/72 Grumman Wild Cat. Bought a while back for the princely sum of £1.99 from the model show at RAF Cosford.

I've hacked off the control surfaces.
The perspex will be long gone, so I made the remaining cockpit frame from some plastic card. The painting is rough, as the colours and decals will be barely seen once the barneyecals have took over. I just thought it would look nice with the colours just showing through the growth.







Rough as a bear's a**e and brush painted with Vallejo Air. Ready for 'Mother Nature'......


Cheers.
Ron
