Working my way through the plague doctor...
"...failure to do anything because someone else can do better makes us rather dull and lazy..."
Mortal as I am,I know that I am born for a day. But when I follow at my pleasure the serried multitude of the stars in their circular course, my feet no longer touch the Earth...
wow I like that doctor, very "correct" for this GB ;-)
Charles welcome, but I cant see the pic of your entry, its not opening
Theuns
Just about finished with the good doctor...I'm a little concerned that I may have gone too far with my illumination attempt, but we will see when I get him into his 'scene'....
This will be my build. Sorry about all that. Had a hard time uploading pictures. I should have it by this week.

I said I was going to do a F14 tomcat but I forgot that I am actually going to be doing a Medusa vignette.
Start with that Medusa, and work on that tomcat when you get it....
I'd like to jump on board. I have a Young Miniatures 1/10th Templar bust that i prepped and primed months ago but has been sat on the shelf since. This should give me the nudge to finish it.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3
I started my Allo and am now wrangling the glazing into place bit by bit, it is a fiddly kit and the fit is not all that good but if one wants to buld it in 1/72 you are not really spoilt for choice.

Yup, I'll be making a TP run to Vulcan as soon as it's finished.
It's the only logical course of action......
Vulcan TP is known across the Universe as the softest.
...and what brand would be Klingon?
Anyhoo, I got the final paint on the Jug. I underpainted the OD for some fading. I pulled up the canopy masks until I realized I still have clearcoat to do. Decals and weathering next...
Here is what I will be building instead of the plane.

Klingons? 180 grit.
Nice Jug!
No photos yet, but I've been painting the shuttle today.
I got greedy and tried to put down too much primer in onecoat and got a run.
DOH!
I de-masked the bottom hull and did some detail painting.
The top hull is drying from a repaint.
My plan is to leave the bottom hull primer grey and paint the top hull flat white. Then seal them with a gloss pearl clearcoat to tone down the paint a bit.
Thats the plan, it might change.
Maybe I have been on ockdown to long but that Medusa looks prety darn hot ;-)
Bish welcome.
Nice fading on the Jug, it ooks "used" ;-)
That Plague doctor looks fantastic, well done, I really like the light effect of the lamp. Oneday I have to also do figure.
As for the Allo, I am batling with the glazing, there are gps all over the joints than need to be filed with stretched sprue but I will beat it into submition yet...I have before LOL
I started on the background 'scene' for the plague doctor (really, thats all I had time for yesterday...)
Test fit:
Ive got the same Jug in my stash! I just may have to move it up in the que! Nice work!
Dude that plague dr seen is coming out good.
I think the major painting is done.
Tamiya Insignia white for the top
Tamiya grey primer on the bottom
Tamiya flat black for the floor
Kyrlon celery for for the interior
Tamiya gloss black for the seats.
I was planing on building this OOTB, but I'm toying with correcting the center console. From a tappered one to a square one.
Next up is gloss coat, decals, and final construction.
Everyones builds are coming along nicely!
I love the background for the plague doctor! Very well done!
Your shuttle is looking great!
Got some markings on. Decals are behaving at the moment; trimming them close and using Future underneath to help with any adhesion/silvering issues.
Nice!
Your Jug is moving along fast.
On a side note, it's amazing to see how different the "classic" canopy looks from the later bubble canopy. It changes the whole look of the aircraft.
I've never built a 1:72 tank before so lets give that a spin. Had it sitting in my stash since last Christmas, and never got on with revells lack of alighnment pets. Lets see how this one goes!

Yeah, I like the razorback look much better than the bubble tops, but that form following function thing...
I decided to go completely stock with this build.
The cockpit panel is detailed.
I made masks for the big dials.
I might put a decal on the lower panel.
Most of the detail painting is done.
Hi guys, mind if I join the fun? Last Saturday I started a 1/48 FW 190 to be done as Pips Priller's A5. I'm also going to build the BMW 327 that Pips had. Here's the box:
This will be my first ever 190, and 1/48 car. The details actually put some 1/25 scale cars to shame!
Getting closer.
The nacelles are on.
I thought the rear cabin door needed some color.
