Is it too late to get into this GB?  I've got a few subjects I wouldn't mind getting started on.

i think yes, just wait a particular frog to across the road , probably now too busy with piggy

Man, this is going to take awhile to build. I have almost completed the command section for the VIIc, and have to try to fit everything together, and put alot of piping in the section that goes below the floor (not photographed). The parts are grossly warped in many areas, and I will just have to accept some of it. I was able to straighten some parts with hot water. I put an order in on eBay for more external PE parts (my third set now), and hopefully it will arrive soon. I'll post pics when the command section is done, maybe in a week or two.

Rob

nice start on the hugeboat!

i'm seriously tempted to get one in future

Beautiful work!!!!Max!!!

Cheers

Thanks Kerm!

I sometimes think I bit off more than I can chew. I dry fitted the hull and deck to mark off the periscope location on the hull, and marked off where to start cutting a window on the starboard hull. I'll cut it away when I'm done this section, to allow a view into the sub. I have heard that the torpedo section is more difficult to fit, but I'll tackle that one in a couple of weeks! Perhaps you can do the new Revell1/72  Gato for your next build! I'm trying to find the 1/72 Revell HMCS Snowberry(but can't find one)- that would make a great display to have it beside the VIIc!

Rob

Rob,

That is some magnificent work youre showing! I am struck with awe and amazement. Now i REALLY want to do another 1/72 VIIC....

One thing puzzles me though.... are you planning to cut open the hull so all these goodies can be seen? That is going to require some extensive interior detailing.... I love what i see but i don't envy you Top notch material sir!

Hi Ken !

just wait for kermit reply

 

Did i hear my name??

Greentracker,

Ofcourse you are in! I will put your modest kit on the rollcall list right away. I do hope that shelf is secured firmly to that wall.... I have had the fully built model in my hands and it has quite some weight. Have fun my friend and i am looking forward to see your progress pics!

Richard

Hi, Thanks Richard

Yea I built those shelves, so I know they can hold the weight, the angle brackets are attached to the studs. So I know it can hold it. BTW thanks for the clue in on the weight of it

Pics will be coming

Hi everyone.

I purchased the  Revell of Germany 1/72 USS Gato class Submarine recently.

If I may, I'd like to sign up for this GB.

I don't have much done.

Thanks, Ken

thanx friend but scratched pieces to come is again a good number

original site for the picture

http://www.bredow-web.de/Triebwerke_und_Flugzeugmotore/Amstrong_Siddeley_Double_Mamba/amstrong_siddeley_double_mamba.html

plus pieces needed on the top of cockpit bulkead, and ... if the more lead in the motors is not enough i need to put some torpedo in the bay (also to scratch) and fill it of more lead

don't want to see the model seat on tail.

BsYamato,

Man,.... if you put any more scratched detail in that Gannet you are going to end up with a plane model weighing 100 kilo's... . Absolutely amazing to see you work

Good news fot the gannet! after saved it from a dangerous crash whit the floor i finally started the engine complex tonight.

Main hard thing to resolve was the bar that pass through the air intakes and the same air conduct. The same front gìear will be glued counting only on the new structure to allow engines removing, thats the work:

With compass cutter did two large stripes for air conducts and the structure bar in the middle

test fit and gluig with green cap tamiya glue.

measuring is good, today only some sanding needed and to adapt on the engine circular section

that's all for tonight

de havilland put at least some picture of firefly sprues, 

Nice looking progress all!!!!I am still waiting for decals to finish the RCN Tracker....and with summer here I am inundated with yard and house maintenance so the Firefly is delayed for a bit but hope to get to her soon.

Cheers and gears

Welcome Max....looking forward to your build.....I have been thinking about doing one of these in a diorama with my 1/72 BV222.....

Cheers

good updates on the gannet

glued the fuselage part around the ramome, i modded the kit sequence, and the radome will be glued after.

the little four windows rear need to be covered , the kit don't specify this thing good, just painted black and after covered with putty. Otherwise a wrong color ca be visible through the rear cockpit.

Also finished to put structures on main gear wells

and glued wings, The fit was not perfect but good, only few putty needed

Soon need to face the main difficult for this build .. engines

that's all for now

Stik welcome back man Nice lookin Mancave too, its nice when one has a bit of room. I also love your trash bin gotta find me one.

That B-17 is Lil Patches of the 91st BG... she has seen better days and may be donating her innards to my Revell B-17F... And thank you for the wecome back

wellcome back Stik!!

The b-17 up seems have same markings of mine (fort alamo)

Here is the new work AO (area of operations... aka Man Cave)

Kermit the kit includes four decal options, one As mk1 for royal navy (ark royal carrier) and three As mk4 for the mfg, i'll do one of german planes

Nice holes matfax

I think this build will take awhile, so I'll post bit by bit. I just finished the opening of the flood holes on the starboard  hull. Took quite awhile, and created quite a mess. I'll do the other side then I will do some degree of oil canning, at least the smaller areas.

Rob

Kermit, I moved at the begining of the month and have been settling things up in my new residence. Only yesterday afternoon did I get a new work area set up and ready for business. So by the end of this weekend I should have some progress to report. At the very least some painting...

Bsyamato,

Great work, as always. But please tell me... how many paint options/ decal versions did revell supply with this kit and which one will you build?

Stik,

Any news on the 1/350 subs?

Richard

bsyamato

Still alive on the gannet

Just a little update, replaced and added some detail on main wells and glued rudders and the two fixed clear parts 

The road to finish again long is

Heck at least you've started!! I'm still waiting to order the AM stuff that I need for the Viking to bring it up to date.
