    Tworrs Tamiya 1/48 Supermarine Spitfire MkI

    Here is my completed Spitfire, and my first attempt at full weathering of a model. I'm not totally unhappy with the result, and have learned a lot in the process. I didn't do a build thread, just in case I cocked it up completely :smiling3: C&C welcome. Cheers Garry

    Tamiya 1/24 Lotus Super 7 Series II

    Here is my completed Lotus. Not a particularly difficult build, and the parts were for the most part pretty good, and fit correctly. It did test my spraying abilities somewhat, but I did learn a lot, which I will carry forward to future builds. Here is a photo of the engine bay.

    Tamiya 1/24 Lotus Super 7 Series II

    On the home straight now. It hasn't been a bad kit to build, only a couple of minor irritations.

    Tamiya 1/24 Lotus Super 7 Series II

    Hi all, I have installed the suspension and steering now, and the engine is in place. Cheers Garry

    Tamiya 1/24 Lotus Super 7 Series II

    I have started on this little beauty as my next venture. If I could have afforded it I would have had a real one, but that was not to be. I was a bit impatient and got started before taking the naked sprue shots, so here is where I am at the moment. Sorry, I was determined to include plug...

    Tworrs Westland Lynx Revell 1/32

    Thanks for your thoughts Steve, no the feed orientation is correct. The ammo belt feeds out of the top front of the ammo box, and then up and around a conical feed guide which can be seen on the side of the MG. Cheers Garry

    Tworrs Westland Lynx Revell 1/32

    With sincere thanks to Jakko, who noted the weird ammo belt, and my noted frustration with said belt I have come up with a plan B. By removing the ammo feed, as if the weapon is not loaded, I think reduces the shabbiness of the end result, as well as my irritation . What do you think? That is...

    Tworrs Revell 1/32 Westland Lynx MK8 (Peters helicopter GB 2022)

    Here is my just completed contribution to the helicopter GB that Peter kindly arranged. A very interesting build, which at times stretched my abilities, which I count as a good thing. The kit itself was pretty good, however I did find the instructions at times differed from the actual parts...

    Tworrs Westland Lynx Revell 1/32

    Looking a bit better with the wipers and a little cotton added. :smiling:

    Tworrs Westland Lynx Revell 1/32

    Well, my helichopperwhirlybird offering is pretty much done. I have taken this to the level that I am comfortable with, and my skill level allows, so all in I am reasonably pleased with the end result. No it's not perfect, but I'm getting better with every model, and most importantly having fun.

    Tworrs Westland Lynx Revell 1/32

    Here you go Chris, and for Tony, I've made sure to show some mess :smiling:

    Tworrs Westland Lynx Revell 1/32

    Progress thus far. I have managed to get all the external trim attached, main colours sprayed and clear coated. Now to the windows, that will be fun :smiling2: and then the decals and some delicate weathering.

    Tworrs Westland Lynx Revell 1/32

    I managed to spend a little time on my build today. The decals are now applied in the cockpit which looks a whole lot better. Also started assembly to the stage that I can do the filling, touching up and adding some body colour. I did make a bit of a dogs breakfast of the initial paintwork while...

    Latest Acquisitions (2022)

    To cheer myself up after my visit to the dentist today, (not that I needed an excuse) I enjoyed a little retail therapy :smiling3:

    Tworrs Westland Lynx Revell 1/32

    I think I have gone as far as I am able, until the decals arrive to complete the consoles. The cabin area is being closed up. I will have to keep myself busy preparing other areas of the build in the meantime. Chers Garry

    Tworrs Westland Lynx Revell 1/32

    I have managed to progress the flight deck a little.

    Tworrs Westland Lynx Revell 1/32

    I've made a tentative start on my build. Once the decals arrive from Revell, I'll be able to complete and assemble some cockpit elements, but in the interim I am happy to just plod along, and paint a few bits and pieces. It's actually quite good going this slow, as it gives me the opportunity to...

    Tworrs Westland Lynx Revell 1/32

    Here are the obligatory sprue shots :smiling3: All I'm missing is/are the decal sheet/s which Revell are sending me.

    Hi everyone, here is my offering for this GB, if I may join please?

    Peter's Helicopter GB Chat thread

    As I have just received a Revell Westland Lynx 1/32, I figured that I may as well join the party, if I may? This will only be my 2nd build this century, so perhaps I'm being a bit ambitious tackling skill level 5, :smiling5: only time will tell. I will start the required build thread, and get...
