Re: Random Vandalism
Cheers. Yes, the jig is a bit of an epic contraption!
Sorry not to confirm on this but yes, 1/72 - the only scale I build in. I've been very happy with the method so far. It has solved one of my major reservations about using EZ line.ShaunW wrote:that is an excellent tip for double wires in what I presume is 1/72nd scale.

Re: Random Vandalism
Hi David,
how's your back? I can recommend a good Chiropractor in my town.
This will make you sit up!

Oh, and I bought those two Tintin modelling e-books the moment they became available
I've been steadily building up a stash of Tintin types and Blue Rider decals to go with them.

Re: Random Vandalism
Bit of modelling going on at the moment. Corsair GB starting today but right at the moment I'm working on the Fokker D.VIII for the Biggles Forum WW1 GB.

Seat belts are strips of painted baking paper. Behaves better than tape.
Bit of an eye strain, that....

Strutters are turning out great. I really like the laminations you did on the prop. Tough one in 1/72!

Yep! And it's still to coarse. I needed narrower masking strips. Ah well, looks good enough.PGAS wrote:Tough one in 1/72!

Re: Random Vandalism
My local model club has had an Airfix Beaufighter GB running for about a year, finishing in 3 weeks. I may have left things a little to the last minute....
Anyway, bits are stuck to other bits.

Re: Random Vandalism
Beaufighter is coming on apace. Fit is not quite as good as I had hoped for in a new tool
