    Proud parent....update on Junior

    That's great news Andrew and I know exactly how proud you must be. My daughter did an integrated masters in engineering and spent her 'year out' working for Ginetta sports cars. She graduated in 2018. Based on our family's experience, there are so many career opportunities at the end. Daughter...

    Well Guys, I got there in the end. This build dragged on for various reasons, but she's now all done, and here are the pics. Paint was mostly MRP..... Thanks for looking in. Nick

    Nick's Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk XIV.

    Well, thanks to Colin for getting this GB off the ground and apologies for not getting finished within the time frame or for the lack of updates. However, my Spitfire is now finished - finally - and the completed shots will shortly appear in the appropriate completed section. Thanks to...

    Nick's Airfix 1/72 F14A Tomcat - Geoffers US Icons Group Build

    Finally got the airframe to a point where I was happy to start painting. Here she is after a prime and the application of Insignia White to the underside.... Looks ok from a distance..... Nick.

    New elecric mini drill and Sander

    I've had the Proxxon 60e for a couple of years now and really like the fact you can dial the speed right down so as not to melt plastic. Downside is the need to get all the kit out to plug in the transformer and then the drill. Other Proxxon 12v tools can be added for quite reasonable cost once...

    Nick's Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk XIV.

    Getting this one closer to the finish line. After tinkering with a bit of light weathering, I shot some of the lovely VMS satin over it. Once that's had time to cure it will pretty much just be the final assembly to do..... Nick

    Nuther noob air brush question (2)....

    I usually see if the extractor will support a sheet of blue roll. If it falls down, the filter gets changed..... Nick

    Nick's Airfix 1/72 F14A Tomcat - Geoffers US Icons Group Build

    I still have quite a bit of work to do on the airframe, but here is the scheme I'll be doing. It's actually very close to the Airfix scheme I had in mind all those years ago. They look very nice. Hopefully they will perform ok.... Thanks for looking in. Nick

    Nick's Airfix 1/72 F14A Tomcat - Geoffers US Icons Group Build

    Still waiting for my decals to arrive and will likely need to invest in at least a couple of new paints. On the meanwhile I have been tinkering. Cockpit has had a bit of work. Accuracy not guaranteed! Looks like the seats and crew should go in ok at a later stage so..... fixed the intakes...
