Wow, great idea for a dio and what you've done so far looks verrry fine! 8) 8) ;D

Beautiful aircraft. Nearly 30 tons of impressive "punch" when fully loaded and just looks so mean when it is. My father served on a Phantom squadron back in the 70s and whenever they were ashore we would watch the aircraft pass overhead during training. Got to climb all over one once at an Air...

Fantastic stuff! It would seem that she has already picked up on how to do at least some of the modeling lark as she was able to move on from where you had got to. The power of osmosis! Tell her she's now an honorary Nerd Herder. ;) Were you shifting nervously from foot to foot as you...

Cracking build Bizarre. That is a really cool looking flak. Just read through the whole lot and enjoyed it all. The interior looks great; no it can't all be seen but as I say about such stuff, it might not be visible but it's knowing that it is there that's the good bit. ;D Brilliant stuff. Me...

;D ;D JMac it has to be the most unexpected parts source to date for me although, having said that, the mother in law did turn up this weekend with a broken coffee water heater, one of those things that pumps out enough hot water for a cup of the black stuff. Was designed to heat enough for 6 at...

Hi all, sorry for the lack of input. I've been fairly useless recently at posting fresh stuff, so here to make amends is a quick intro to a build I've been doing for a few months. I was presented with a child car booster seat by my wife one day with the challenge, " Make something sci fi out of...

Neat, accurate work sir! Looks the business all the way. Glad you like the avatar! It was a must-use as far as I was concerned ;D.

Stick with it JM. This is one of the best hobbies to get involved with. It's a fantastic source of ideas and inspiration and the people you'll meet on the forums are just great. I started model making when I was about 4. ;D Which means I got a model kit from an uncle or someone for my...

That is a superb scratch build, Jamaicanmodels69! And big too - my kind of stuff! Can't wait to see what you do with the interior. 8) 8) 8) stuff indeed.

Hello to you Samiedan, from grey and miserable Cornwall. Not raining though so it's not all bad :). Should be modeling too but feeling crap so I spent the day watching films and snoozing on the sofa. So, what are you working on at the moment? Got any WIPs to show? ;D

Yep I agree. Loads more that can be done with this particular trooper. There's something about the armour and the helmet and the speeder bike that always has appealed to me. Lots that you can play around with and create different variants of. Look forward to seeing what you do with yours. :)

Ah, good stuff and done at your usual, manic fast pace too. You are the fastest modeler I can think off, posting on any of the forums I look at, by a long shot. And it's all such cool stuff too. :D

My apologies to all. :-[ I honestly didn't want to offend anyone or start off a punch-up. It was mainly that I have seen others torn to bits on other forums and didn't want to see it happening again. Anyway This is a cool build and one of several sculpting threads I'm watching on several...

I don't want to start a sh@t storm here Little Cutie but re-casting for your own personal use is not really a problem for most modellers - but re-casting and then selling said re-casts of what is still other's work is. I doubt that many will agree with the sentiment, however well intentioned...

If the undercarriage gear was down when this was found then I guess the pilot managed a safe landing on a frozen lake and started walking. If it was somewhere off the beaten track then that would explain it being untouched by anyone before the ice melted and it sank to the bottom. Wonder if...

Very very cool build! Great idea and great scratch skills.

Cheers guys for the cool feedback! Thanks very much. I always worry that my stuff stray instantly into the daft/not-very-good-idea zone. So, more WIPs tomorrow as I've been putting the weapon pods together this evening. Got some touching up of the painting to do before the stand-off armour...

Hah! As it so happens I did go to a couple of races at a place there but was only watching on those occasions...and that was a fair while ago too! I wasn't all that good so was more often a spectator than anything.

Er, not sure I have any really that directly relate to modelling, except that it's all about putting stuff together. I can't do much at all at the moment but when I was fit and healthy I used my trade skills in my spare time to make medieval leather shoes and boots, water bottles, barrels and...

Thank you so much for posting the link. That is a beautiful piece of work. I half expected to see the engine made a working version, he was putting in so much detail! Wonderful craftsmanship. Such a great workshop, and so many tools to hand! Lucky chap.
