A great result Narayan. Can you imagine being out on the razz with the boys from Eduard over one of their self-defined "weekends"? It'd take a month for the headache to go :ha:

Lovely L-39!
I plan to build one of these too.

Best wishes for 2017!

Thanks all.

The La-7 has had decals applied and is now looking far too shiney! Although part of that is the light. That will be dulled down later.

I'm also working on an Airfix 1/48 BAe Hawk. I started this years ago.

Both Lavochkin and Albatros look very good indeed. I like the look of L39 in particular, always liked them.

The Hawk does look a little "Albatrossy" in the picture but well done on restarting it. It's a habit I'd like to get into :roll:

Greetings!

Once again it's been a while since I updated my workbench window. However I've had a very busy year with a house build so modelling has taken a bit of a backseat until recently. Obviously the first thing on the house plans was the man cave. We designed the rest of the house round that :grin:

This was it before I moved anything in to it.

I'm testing out a new photo upload service following the Photobucket debacle. That's my test image.

OK, that took a few attempts!

Next up was to bring all my stash together. Most of it had been in storage the last few years.

Those are all in a separate store room.

I also have a few big kits.

Thanks iggie.

The office has been partly decked out but still a bit to do until it's the way I want it.

Moving on to the important stuff.

I'm currently working on a couple of kits. Firstly I decided to build a car. Something I haven't done in a while.

Image

I hadn't taken any shots along the way. This is the current progress.

Image

Image

I also decided to enter a floatplane / flying boat group build with my local IPMS. I picked this out of the stash.

Image

It's a very straightforward kit. The thought process was I could get this done nice and quickly to get me back in the swing of things and at the same time reduce the stash.

Image

Image

Boy was I wrong.

Image

Image

Luckily I have a couple of bags of cement left over from the house build.

Truly impressive stash you've got there. Jealous now.

The Floatplane is going together slowly with mucho filler and sanding.

Image

Still a lot more filling and sanding to be done.

A bit more progress on the Ferrari. The cabin has come together.

Image

That will be placed on the chassis as is. The dashboard attaches to the body of the car.

I've never completed a car kit, tho I have started one or two and that Fezza is coming together very nicely Narayan. I've never built a PM kit either but I am very experienced in the use of filler as a major structural component in the building of model kits :roll: :ha:

I have to admit to have having owned a PM Spit floatplane, but in the end I chickened out and sold it......not I hasten to add to anyone in Ireland :grin:
