Hi Phil, loving your canons (as I always do) you push the boundaries and create little pieces of art - keep up the great work my firend. OC. -
Thank you kindly Ken, I will be leaning on folk for direction and advice when I start on my scenery as I have never done anything like this before. OC.

Certainly adds more life to the build with the elavators lowerd, and what you say about a "Flying part" off your kit when working on it - so fits in to probably all of our work practices - wouldn't be normal unless something going missing. OC.

Great cars for the money and tons and tons of spares back then - but "Wow" was they rust buckets. OC.

My late farther used to buy cheap old UK Fords Like the Cortina mk 2 and mk 3, he used to get them dirt cheap second hand and do them up as good as he could including brush painting both of them - I helped him hand paint the mk3 with Tekaloid paint he got from his works - he had it made up in his works paint shop, I remember we would mask up an area at a time with newspaper then paint say a whole wing then rear wing - doors bonnet - boot - roof etc not the best in the summer with all those flies and nats in the out doors. I also remember us doing a top end referb putting new guides in and piston seals. Like these pics off the net. OC.

I have been measuring up how much room I have for my display board and it will be 36 Inches x 20 Inches (91.4cm x 50.8cm) the farm building complex I will be getting measure (62cm x 46cm) but that doesn't leave a lot of space at the front where a lot of the action was, so I have decided the best option is to make the rear stables building a "False Building" I will just show the face of the wall with a cut out for the rear entrance and will paint a false hoizon view, by doing this I think I will free up another 5-6cm's to give me more room at the front where the road will go. OC.

Evening all, got some more progress on my little armies - have started on Five more KGL the light regimant in thier Green uniforms, Five is a good number to do in a go as thier easy to work on without feeling too repetetive, although they have only Two positions I will try to make them look slightly different - I will post some more pics when I have done a bit more. OC.

Thank you kindly Captain. OC.

Glad you have a plan that will sort that little headache brother, by the way I can see the decs on the deck - they are a nice addition to give it some detail, and better than trying to mask and paint them. OC.

Thank you so much Denis, I think its a combination of factors why I seem to be doing a reasonable job on these figures - Good magnifaction, good light, some better thinner brushes and a more controled way of painting them, I have to be honest - I am quietly impressed myself. OC.

1/48 Italeri Hawk T.1A (On Hold)
Old Collingwood replied to Old Collingwood's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
I am putting this one on hold also as trying to do this is impossible due to working with what I have at the moment (no super glue) so I have managed to wreck my bang seats trying to glue down pe using revel proffesional contacta glue - abit like trying to inflate tyres with water. Oh well thats Two on hold at least my soldiers are simple and need no super glue. OC. -
Same here sometime Lou, the postal service can be all over the place - as long as they dont leave it in the only covered thing outdoors - our bin on bin empty day, they have been known to put it in there. OC.

I admire what you all do with these stone buildings - you are doing some really fine work Kevin - your determination to keep challenging what you build shows the range of talent you have my friend. OC.

Superb work, I back up what my collegues have said - "Please show us a build log when you start a new build" OC.

1/48 Italeri Hawk T.1A (On Hold)
Old Collingwood replied to Old Collingwood's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Evening all, more progress - alot of time spent this eve for very little done, firstly I painted over the face of both panels and "Yep" the inevitable happned - the grey seaped into the Black dials, so after the coats of Grey was on the fronts I then used my finest brush and dropped some pin prick size drops of Black into the holes for the dials, it wasn't 100% a success but good enough as the canopy is going to be down, I set these aside to dry and turned my attenton to the Tub - this had its back panel fixed then some Grey layers, then a small amount of shading, after I glued inplace the panels, and finished off with a bit more shading and some highlighting. Not brilliant but will be mostly hidden so I'm not too worried. OC.
