    Pete's Spitfire Vc

    I'm now on some medication to try to control my shakiness, and it seems to be having some effect. I've managed to get the canopy and wheel wells masked and have started some painting: Pete

    Pete's Spitfire Vc

    Made a little more progress: Wing and tail fit was good, as expected, and the canopy clicked into place as it should - it fits pretty well but I put a bead of Formula 560 around the cockpit sides to reduce the chance of overspray on the inside of the canopy. Had an encounter with the dentist...

    Midland Air Museum (Coventry) December 2023

    Forgot to take a camera with me, so these were taken on a phone I'd only had since the day before the show. That's the first 20... Pete

    Pete's Spitfire Vc

    I haven't done much on this (or anything else) recently as I've got the shakes again, quite badly. I have a doctor's appointment for the 29th of December to check it out, but I expect that will result in a referral to a neurologist which could take a few months. :sad: I've also been a bit...

    Brian's 1/100 HMS Victory

    In rough weather, I'd imagine the risk of tripping over a rope crossing the gundeck is far lower than being in this situation: See the dummy figure at about 2 o'clock. Scary! Pete

    Brian's 1/100 HMS Victory

    No, actually Tim, it was the longer barrel. Here's the photo, sorry it's not clearer. That does show the lead apron though, which I hadn't noticed previously! I turned off the camera flash, since I find other people's camera flashes annoying when I'm visiting somewhere like this, but that meant...

    Brian's 1/100 HMS Victory

    This is the best pic I have showing the other side of a similar gun: Incidentally. one of the display boards around the ship states that when a long 12 pounder was fired, the force on the breeching rope and on the ship's side was about 6 tons! Victory carried 30 of them, so in a broadside...
