We interrupt Games Week coverage to bring you this important announcement...
At 07.00 our stuff finally arrived from New Zealand
Including my bike :) :) :)
Not road legal for Australia yet but I'm onto it
I allowed myself one box to open until we sort out where everything will go. These are all unmade and comprise about one-half of my 'stash'. Before I met Messrs Foster http://plasticwarriors.blogspot.com.au/?view=classic & Gow http://megablitzandmore.blogspot.com.au/ I never owned one single unmade kit or set of figures. Thank you both :)
And, a bit of progress on the 0-400. These are various jigs used to align the wing struts
Hull progress, figure is actually the rear gunner. Incidentally, I hope to find crew figures from my recently arrived stuff, to replace the ones missing from the kit
This model had been started when I got it, including parts of the wing assemblies. Green stuff has been used to heavily reinforce the damaged areas, and will be sanded back before final painting
The rigging will be as structural as I can get it, these are test-rigs to see how much weight I can put on the areas that have been repaired
This is a massive project! I calculated that I have already spent about ten hours on the 0-400.
Those PSC Russian T-70`s are a fun build.
ReplyDeleteYep, looking forward to making those
DeleteThat's looking impressive and so is that bike!
ReplyDeleteThanks Fran, dream machine and all...
DeleteI am definitely going to be referring back to your jigs when I start building my HP. I am very impressed that you are even doing the rigging!
ReplyDeleteYeah, you need something like a jig to help, they are very fragile to work with
DeleteMust be a great feeling seeing your stuff arrive!
ReplyDeleteit's great when you have all your stuff around you!

ReplyDeleteget ones stuff ! On the rigging very impressive but your

No different in the British Army Don, almost got divorced a couple of times :)
DeleteThat plane is a true mission Al. If it was me I would have given up on it long ago. Well done for sticking at it.
ReplyDeleteGood to see the container arrival as well. Be carefully on that darn bike Street Hawk!
Thanks old mate, will do!
