  1. Very tidy and precise work Glenn, but after watching your Cheerful, I've come to expect nothing less😊
  2. I feel I'm on the homeward stretch with the hull planking now, just two bands each on port and starboard sides. I've redone the lining out to reduce the risk of ending up with a narrow plank. it all looks pretty even and symmetrical to my eyes! just a bit untidy, but I'm hoping a good dose of sanding will go some way to rectifying that. especially at the bow! Anyway, the last batch of planking is imminent, then it's onto the stern and QG's, which I must admit I feel a bit of trepidation at. That's it for now, thank you to everyone for the interest and continued support. Cheers
  3. Best wishes for your op Mark and a good calm recovery! Sphinx is coming on despite the small setback😉
  4. Well, with work and other pressing matters, planking is progressing very very slowly 🐌 I have two bands completed on the port side and I'm halfway through the second band on the starboard. The transition from Hull to counter has been a trial, with several planks being removed, replaced and removed again. As it stands it's not the prettiest but it is smooth. It's going to be a fair while before I can flip her right side up😊 as I've reverted to using titebond glue because I got in a proper mess using CA. Thanks for watching and the likes! Until next time, cheers.
  5. That is terrible news, I also hope you find the strength to fight on. Thanks for the insight to your Vanguard build, it's always great 👍
  6. Coming along nicely Mark! Prayers for plain sailing with your heart surgery and a speedy recovery .
  7. Very nice Alan, I really like the camo method, turned out great! I'm looking forward to the mk IV and whippet😉
  8. The table looks like it does the job Jack! Very nice !! Now to get the same set up, is persuading the Admiralty to release funding😊 🙄
  9. A small update, not a lot of progress. Painted the engine, the instructions say to use steel colour, I've not got steel so l used flat aluminium, with a citadel armour wash the other parts are dark iron. also made a mask for the canopy and painted the framework cockpit green first followed by sea blue I'm happy how it's turned out 😉 thanks for watching and the likes. Cheers
  10. I've been waiting for this Tim, I hope you enjoy the experience, I know I did on the Triton cross section. Comfy chair ready!
  11. Thank you Denis antenna duly cut off while filler applied, dried and sanded, some minor rivet detail lost, I will try to replicate them with tiny dots of CA. The antenna was glued back. As I was sanding the filler, the wing hinges snapped, (the kit plastic is quite soft) and the outer wing sections fell off.🤨🥺 the uppermost part was carefully removed and the hinge stub drilled and a brass pin inserted and glued, a corresponding hole was done in the other part the pin pushed through and bent over and again glued. Hopefully this will give it a bit of sturdiness. Thanks all for looking in etc... Cheers
  12. Thanks for all your comments and continued support!😉 The squad of soldiers from the 251 are basically finished Just some small touch ups to do you'll note the gun crew have removed the loose live shells but not the empty shell casings thanks for watching! cheers
  13. I'll make sure the crew get reprimanded, probably a transfer to the Eastern front😳🤨 for their poor housekeeping!
  14. The gun crew are done! Don't look too closely, my figure painting is still rusty!😉 Thanks for looking in! I would love to see more photos Darius😊 Cheers
