    Walrus Catapult restored larger images Build progress.

    Hi Guys, I have restored the first page of the Walrus 1/72 catapult dio images and will be doing the rest next. They look great bigger than the thumbnails. You can find it here. It's got everything including the dancing Village People sailor figures. Cheers, Wabble

    Modelmaker in Sweden

    Hi Nina, I know what you mean. The latest fad that has come out are decals that are applied in reverse of the usual slide on technique. Instead of the film being at the bottom, it is on the top and after the decal is set you peel away the top film leaving the print behind. Haven't tried but...

    Italeri Hudson Mk IV 1/72 scale.

    Hi, again more updates and perhaps some priming done...actually not really. I needed the interior green showing on the inside of the canopy frames so in the three layer process that I usually do is to lay the first of whatever the interior of the cockpit is painted in. In this case it's interior...

    Italeri Hudson Mk IV 1/72 scale.

    Hi, More on the Hudson build...adding the Browning barrels to the nose after drilling... Then Chuppa Chups got masked as well...very complex panelling... Cheers, Wabble

    Richard's Dragon 1/72 He 219 A-0 UHU Night Fighter

    Hi, Replacing the Balkenkreuz has been a success with the 6 year old masking proving that Tamiya masking tape keeps its properties and characteristics after several years taped to a surface. Cheers, Wabble

    Richard's Dragon 1/72 He 219 A-0 UHU Night Fighter

    As I was saying the year before, this is getting off the ground. I decided to leave the missing IP as is...missing. Can't see anything much through the canopy so I'll leave it as if the panel lights have not been switched on. I worked on replacing the wrong Balkenkreuz on the wing top for the...

    Italeri Hudson Mk IV 1/72 scale.

    Hi, Clear parts are always treated with caution when fitted. Even after sanding the mating parts there still some gaps. I found that Magic Sculpt or shims of plastic strip covered large gaps. Masking tape protected the parts when sanding. Plastic putty is used only when tiny gaps show through...

    Italeri Hudson Mk IV 1/72 scale.

    Therapeutic sanding... tralalalala... Looks like a lot of detail needs repairing after the sanding process. Lots of gunk collecting in the crevices and what nots... That's all for now...the transparencies need attention next having not fitted flush and leaving horrendous gaps to be...

    Italeri Hudson Mk IV 1/72 scale.

    Thanks Richard, Jim, Joe and Nick...apologise for the late reply. It's taking shape even with struggles and mistakes. This makes building fun and challenging at the same time. More progress... This time its putty filling. I use Magic Sculpt two part putty for this process. This putty...

    Tug Boat..... Revell

    Have fun with it Paul as I had many moons ago and a build blog was featured here but since closed I think. Not to put you off but to give you an idea of what to expect, here are four pics of the build... It can be a nice a nice little kit to build with patience, lots of putty and a bit of...

    Italeri Hudson Mk IV 1/72 scale.

    Hate assembling the wings with the undercarriage pre attached as you need to guess the alignment and dehydral to get it to look right. Okay I got that solved... The engine nacelles were a bitch to fit with no locating pins or marks so I winged it. I did saw the nacele flaps as the engraved...

    Italeri Hudson Mk IV 1/72 scale.

    Hi Guys, more work on the Hudson... Painted up the IP and stuck it in... Sanded down the turret fairing assembly...some dinks and gaps need puttying. Got the wing halves cemented and used tape to hold them together at the leading edge to align and not have a step...saves sanding and...

    Richards Hurricane Airfix 1/72 GB build

    Finally I got this near completion...figures were painted within two hours with acrylics. They were secured to the base with tiny dots of CA and the shine removed with Matt varnish brush on. I will take more shots of the whole Dio when I can. Thanks for sticking with this misshaped filled...

    Richards Hurricane Airfix 1/72 GB build

    Hi, more updates to the figures... The guy standing idle is now carrying Chocks made from plastic strip and thin wire for the ropes... After finalising the poses all three figures were primed black and got the zinethel effect with a coat of white sprayed from above at an angle. After...

    Richards Hurricane Airfix 1/72 GB build

    Thank you Jim, had to keep it simple yet tell a small story...How was your flight sir?... I am having a heavy breakfast literally a One Ton noodle...wonton as I type... We're fine but it was a close call. The opposite bank flooded and we were spared with the help of the flood pumps, wall and...

    Richards Hurricane Airfix 1/72 GB build

    Thanks Fellas, Worked on three figures...two from my stash and one from the kit. You guessed it the pilot is from the kit. The mods I did for him was to turn his head to the right and replace his arms. The other two needed shorts and a lot of mods to get their poses right... I posed them...

    Richards Hurricane Airfix 1/72 GB build

    Thanks Joe and Tony, good to be back. The base... Mixed up some spackle with dirt, white glue and poster paints and spread it over the top of the based that had masking tape around the edges. Used the Hurri to make the tyre marks then while the mixture was still semi wet I coated the top with...

    Richards Hurricane Airfix 1/72 GB build

    Thanks Joe, Rich, Paul and Jim, I've seen and done a similar scheme that had worm like squiggles instead of the large green patch. And yes the Hurricanes look better with the hispanos. Here are more images of the Future application... For obvious reasons the kit decals weren't the correct...

    Italeri Hudson Mk IV 1/72 scale.

    Hi, continuation of the build. I made a boo boo by drilling out the Astrodome hole then finding out the version I was doing doesn't have one. A little strip and putty will fix that... Then I painted detail to the cockpit seats... And weathered the seatbelts. Next I glued the fuselage...
