  1. you mean you wont let sit down and watch one of those programmes where everyone is in the pub and no one owns a washing machine
  2. good evening everyone i have a problem (or maybe i am the problem) is the doctor still around? my desire to get on with the Enterprise is making me want to put this away, which is a shame, does anyone else suffer from that, or is it that i am spoilt for choice, anyway i did a few bits but moved on the the soft furnishings the coach internal has to seats either end and a bench through the middle 2 + 3 + 2 and two up top these were fun to make up, but the nail heads do detract the final finish, i am trying to dull them down
  3. i never thought that the box art would add so much to the cost of a kit, this could be another way ahead for others to copy (you certainly are leading the way ahead in the wired clan) lol
  4. lol im sure they were far better than my feeble attempt
  5. good evening everyone spent a good few hours put these 1x5mm strips on, two strips is a clamping limit (with my clamps anyway, i also built the two after wheels up i seam to have sanded it down ok, and no hidden surprises
  6. put away for another day, i will be bringing the Enterprise back to the table soon into the cabinet she goes
  7. thank you, the kit provides for the window blinds and lettering, in fact the kit does a good set up - but as i have found in the past AL does provide poor strip-wood lamps are also included, powered by a 9 volt battery, but they look over sized
  8. the covering is with some very poor 1x5mm veneer, i have done the lower half of one side and will post a photo later
  9. Thank you so much for your reply, i appreciate that very much, i would still like to put some gloss varnish/lacquer on there
  10. well i finished the out side coach work, that was actually quite enjoyable, YES it could have been a lot lot tidier but it is being covered over
  11. how was the wooden body protected, was it varnish, and if so, would a high gloss been available, as that is what if fancy putting on? and thank you for your wealth of knowledge on the subject
  12. thought memberS might like to see this looks like the first 4 parts are available to order, a very different kit to the Enterprise @cafmodel HMS Bellona,HMS Bellona (cafmodel.com)
  13. Good evening everyone well the inside has bee lined and the floor has been done onto a template, go in later when i have varnished it this evening i started the outside bulking out the side panels in 2x5mm strip wood, this will then be faired off this is from the instructions on how to achieve the fairing
  14. Spray Paint | Spray Paint Products & Finishes| Krylon Amazon.co.uk : Krylon Foil
  15. wow, thas a lot of work, I'm sure many will finds that info useful but i guess thats why we are here
  16. good afternoon everyone the outside skin never went quite to plan, all my efforts to put it on straight resulted in well, it not going on straight, i ended up with a rather odd looking twisted box. one end was ok. so i but line across and removed the other end, re applied and it is ok now, i never noticed it the time as there is a large off cut to allow for being off centre the walnut veneer is slowly going in, but its a pain, so fragile the photo's do me no favours at all the ok end and the not so ok the walnut veneer is slowly going in, but its a pain, so fragile
  17. to many projects on the go, But so very Very tempted like to tale the opportunity to say what a great looking kit and thank you @chris watton, and so very well presented by @James H
  18. i never realised it was that big, thats a very nice Kevin size you have done a lovely job on this
