Yep and Aspartame is actually not very good for you. OC. -
Thank you kindly Denis, with the work bench - I assume that is what the vice/ammo feed device was for? OC.
-
Evening all, a small amount of poregress - I have built the ammu bench, its designed I assume to put the ammunition onto belts ready to be fed into the wings in Spits and under the belly in Mossie fighter/bombers, so I have decided to pack it in the trailor as it been kept there while the crew have been dropped off. OC.

I have seen some diagrams and drawings of her showing flat bulawrks between decks and not the curved / rounded profiles, not sure it the difference is from a modification to her or just confusion. OC.
-
Hows it going bro? saw your earlier update - any news since? OC.
-
This will be good, are you going to build her with the Flat Bulkheads seen in some drawings or the rounded ones? OC.

Evening all, next on the build - let me introduce my dad working up on a ladder, just assembled waiting on paint/weathering. The figures come as seperate pieces - torso, right and left legs, arms and seperate heads so they can be multi position. OC.

Thank you Roger. OC.

I always thought the Mighty Hood looks great as a waterline model due to her unique shape and freeboard on her rear deck (constantly wet) she has that slim lined look also makes her look really elegant but also deadly. OC.

Thank you kindly, several more to build yet inlcuding me dad. OC.

Figure making time - to be precise the Pilot, after making him and painting/weathering he came to life but wanted to play with the tractor first, then He stood up on it wanting his photo taken, then "play time over" so he made his way to the Mossie ladder. OC.

Evening all, more progress this eve, first I found some thin grey-ish wire I cut it into lengths that seemed about right, then I drilled a small hole in the end, then I pushed it over a plastic pole protruding from the front part of the starter, then I coiled it around the handle and added a touch of ca to hold it in place. Next I assembled the oil bowser tank, after painting I did the same with the hose as I did the wiring earlier, this time I coiled it round and looped it around the drum of the bowser and connected it to the feed assembly. So here is a family photo showing all the bits done so far. OC.

Evening all, another item was made earlier in the shape of a ground power unit - basically a power transformer in a box with a handle on wheels, I still have to come up with the power lead - this I will make from some 5amp black wire. Next up will be a oil tank. OC.

Afternoon all, after more progress with the tractor - now we have Two vehicles finished. OC.
