Get a coffee and have a look at this. >Click< or > Full Index Page<

Its just been updated and is an ongoing project. Not always in English but superb Scale Engineering.

VooDoo,

I can only agree with you there having looked through the whole thing, with a cup of coffee or two !!

What an absolutely superb piece of Work, The model certainly looks the business now and I am looking forwards to seeing it's first proper outings when they are posted up.

I would certainly recommend a view of this site to anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

Regards.........Mark.

He must have unlimeted resources, and a very understanding wife!

Not a bad little workshop either is it?

As you say though unlimited resources and time are obviously available. I'm only jealous.

In Answer To Bunk,

Yes that workshop was incredible, I only wish I had access to somewhere like that for model making. I can't believed he moved to somewhere with a smaller workshop either !!! I bet it was quite a wrench to leave that big place behind !!

Regards.....Mark.

Maybe he'll build a B52 to the same scale!

The term 'Magnificent Obsession' comes to mind,when he was building the frame with the balsa planking I thought that was it ? then all of that superb litho work as well,then all that sticky mould work.

He must have spent thousands of hours on this model,note the small lad grows very quickly as the project progresses.

That undercarriage must have taken some working out to get the geometry just right.

Mark,that workshop looks like an hired building to produce the large components,the loft is a far cry from what he was working from,how did he get around the fumes in such a small confine ?

That is superb. I have never seen anything like that done before. I had Loads of coffee when reading and looking at the detailed pictures.

I have to agree with Barry it must of been a rented place.

 

[Guest]

Barry, Maybe it was the fumes that kept him going??

Tis a big beastie though......

Gaz...

 

[Guest]

its mind blwing, , thats one hell of a model...... hats of to him -thats a masterpiece

 

[Guest]

where does he find the time.....

i cant believe he has a son, where did he find time to make that 1 to 1 scale model whilst building the su27 !!!!!

BTTT for a superb model and project. Pretty much complete with my favourite SU-27 paint scheme. The attention to the the detail in the finish matches the standard of engineering in the rest of the model. Amazing. :respect1:

Cheers
