Chip's Falcon in Clogs***Finished***

Our 2nd "Lesser Represented Countries" GB with a slight change to allow any subject, not just aircraft. You must sign up for the specific country and there are no duplicates in this GB and a modeler cannot do the same country(s) as in the previous one.
GB runs 16th May - 19th June and your host is FredK.

I am having Mojo problems at the moment, the problem is getting the motivation to do a bit of modelling, once I get to the bench all is good. :???:
I found just going at sitting at the bench is helpful, no intention to model just go and sit, perhaps with a book, aircraft or model related of course. Or, I tried going with the intention to do one tiny job, such as paint a gap where I had missed during painting say, next thing I knew I had been there 45mins!. :grin:
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!! :lol:

I gave it a go and look what happened:

Decals on, Ordnance painted, even got a bit of weathering on the undercarriage doors. :grin:

NOT turning the computer on also helped!!

Nice paint stand. Do you paint at 45 or 33rpm? and whose album gave their all for the cause? :lol:

Due to "rain stop play" today I have managed to get this one completed:

Apart from the raised panel lines (far too many to rescribe) this is a nice kit that goes together with hardly any problems.

Your painting turntable is rather clever.

Very nice work on that kit! I've built 2 of them and although the detail isn't the best, it's a fun build. Yours looks way better than mine! :)
