Interesting, I see a 747, and F-18 & F-15 in that.... Very inventive.... -
Aww I wouldn't worry too much, it is still in it's shipping crate and the stevedore's don't seem to be in too much of a hurry.... {chuckle} Besides the Masonry is looking too good to blast holes in it.... Nice work...

Or modeling nerds.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/165900957344?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=165900957344&targetid=1263104806246&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=9033423&poi=&campaignid=14859008593&mkgroupid=130497710760&rlsatarget=pla-1263104806246&abcId=9300678&merchantid=112317872&gclid=CjwKCAiAxP2eBhBiEiwA5puhNet30xlKK3a03DHVJG-ANoIChhD6_U6ygjqQyBazfDZjne_NOVDafxoCMLwQAvD_BwE Only one of several different versions/scales available...

I'm down for this one my friend....

That would be something..... The Napier Sabre, one heck of an engine, not a Merlin by any stretch but eventually became a good solid powerplant although underpowered compared to it's contemporaries... the Merlin and R2800... https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-media/NASM-A19670111000-NASM2014-05108 CMK makes the Sabre Engine for the Eduard kit.... https://www.scalemates.com/kits/cmk-4393-tempest-napier-sabre-engine-upper-half-eduard--1242698 CMK also makes the full engine as a generic AM set.... (in 1/48th scale) https://www.scalemates.com/kits/cmk-4215-napier-sabre-mkii--113397

Yep, Backlight the box so the light spills down the upper stairs and reflects into the space highlights the detail without overpowering the lamp over the staircase landing... Gives you two highlighted interest points in the picture leaving the shadows over the upper staircase.... A simple switch would make it so the upper attic light could be off or on so you would get the best of both worlds... Brilliant vision as to scale lighting effects... Very well thought out Gary....

You must have been a old style carpenter in a former life Grant... Gorgeous looking pole barn framing, the plate ties, (ceiling joists in a house) rafters and collar ties all are authentic to what the real things should look like.... (simplified for scale though) Beautiful work my friend....

In my not so esteemed opinion, the first part is more accurate than the second part... In my experience, when you like what your doing, the abilities come along for the ride.... The muse never lies brother....

Nice little vignette! Beautiful job..... Would have liked at least one shot in color before you cased it though, the grey-toned shots are nice for that photograph feel, but I'm a color guy... Well done brother...
-
I'm down for this... Man I need to get my butt in gear, you guys are now building three at a time.... {chuckle}

Oh I understand completely.... I have several hundred dozen under my belt as well... Practice makes perfection yes, but it also increases the boring factor, which increases geometrically the longer you stay at it... I've shifted genre's before, and I have several series in the planning stage today, US Tanks, US Artillery, 50's 60's Nasa, TF 18, Radar... and several more... (once I get through what RL is dishing out) Not a problem brother build what you like when you like... I can appreciate it all... Most importantly the talent and experience shown especially from those that have more than I do... Like you......

Gorgeous... I sure hope you have plans to add an M1 to it eventually...

Yep, Reality, (NASA in the 60's-70's) was much more exciting than any TV show..... Star Trek started a whole genre of human reality based science fiction and was must watch.... Star Wars, cemented that genre into a new universe of entertainment... (even though the money making aspects of it clearly take precedence now) Reality themed phantasy.... The great literature of our times...
-
I lost interest in it 50-55 years ago.... (I was 15yrs old) {chuckle} Definitely some inspired model making there... And, I never got to take a trip to Tracy Island....

That's free range territory, it happens from time to time....

Absolutely... There was no law and everyone had to defend themselves... Where people gathered, it was a very polite society... Everyone helped everyone else as well for the most part, survival was an everyday thing back then, they didn't have time for all the social engineering tomfoolery we now deal with today...

Yep, you cannot believe anything from Hollywood about history, for them it's all about the story and not the facts... The term "Riding Shotgun" came from Hollywood.. In reality, there weren't many stagecoaches that carried Money, Gold or Bullion... According to Hollywood, almost all of them did.... the "Wild West" wasn't really as wild as it is made out to be over the decades of hollywood...

That one hell of a project!!! Will take at least a year to do it right... You will keep us posted correct?

You have the technique down brother, excellent rendition of a chimney, darken it a hair to show some age and you won't be able to tell the difference from real life... Your work amazes me....

Absolutely! just watch out for those shipping charges to the US, WOW!!!! Bought a model from Great Hobbies (another great Canadian shop), $130 US for the model turned into $205 shipped... I canceled the order.... Got the same model from Hannant's (hard to find kit) plus two others in the harder to find category and wound up at $210 shipped for three hard to find models from England no less...... Just a reminder to check your shipping charges, some mailing services are insane...

Oh yeah it's available, model railroaders go to when all else fails... Hundreds of places to get it and hundreds of ways to build hills and mountains with it... I still have several rolls in my railroading stash along with the rockface molds and woodland scenic's vegetation and ground covers... I agree with jack on tracing the outline of where the slopes should be both horizontally and vertically the reason for this is you want to build it apart from the castle itself... Build it in sections and add them to the model as you go... Makes it a lot more manageable, and you can refine or adjust the technique as you go... Made many mountains in my day, it's a fun type of modeling....

Take care of the important things first brother, we will wait for you...

Oh I'm definitely down for this.... And I promise I won't fire any of my siege guns during the building, not even in practice... (chuckle, gotta build them first)
