Fleet Air Arm Group Build

You know the more I see of the work you guys put out the more I am amazed.  I know that when I start build again after the move I want my builds to be that good. 

Work like that makes the stash worth it.  What the heck, just throw your hands in the air and let it take over...buy, buy, buy and build, build, build and of course post WIP pics

Roy

Dave-

LMAO!!!  Great story, one I can identify with easily.  ANd beautiful 111!  Truly an outstanding job.  I too agree that building faster is the only solution!  Buy more=build more. 

Guys-

They're turning off my internet tomorrow and rehooking it up at the new place in the afternoon, hopefully it will be a seamless transition.  If I'm not around for a day or two or three, don't worry!  I'll be back soon.  With that, I leave the last pic taken from my old model room of my Corsair, ready to begin painting at my new location.  See you soon!

Looking good Frank! ....and Dave, that 111 is awesome! That kit is definitely on my to-buy list!

Frank, hope the move is a smooth one and that you're back up & runnin' again with the rest of us @#&*@ 's fun guys soon!

looking good so far my friend.  By the way I still have no idea what LMAO means

Thanks Mike!  Hangin' out with you guys makes me laugh at the end of a long day.

Roy- LMAO = Laugh My A$$ Off

Mike and Roy.

The pics of my projects are somwhere in this thread, but here we go again

1 Trumpeters 1/72 Westland Wyvern almost oob. The only thing added was the exhaustpipes which are resin from Quickboost and are fabolous as well

The secnd is also Trumpeters Gannet in 1/72 oob

And finally Italeris 1/48 Grumman Tarpon from sqn. No 840 also oob

Maybe,but just maybe I`ll go for some more FAA builds for this GB, but not before I`m done with a few Spits and a Plikarpov and a ventura....:):):)

I got my Corsair painted today and i just have the landing gear and decals left. Are and companies that sell decals for fleet air arm corsairs decause i have no idea where to find any.

Alain

Check out Techmode from Poland for FAA Corsair.  I'm using them for my 1/72 Hasagawa Corsair.

Roy

Aeromaster issued a few sheets for FAA Corsairs a while back. but I'm not sure of current availability.

Regards,  Rick

Woooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its Rum Ration Time!!

Gentlemen, 

its the weekend.........eat, drink and be merry.

CHEERS!

Hey lads, here's what I've managed to do this week so far...........

This is my Corsair in its FAA markings, most of the decals are on now and I hope to finnish off tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing this one being finished.

Darren-

It's the weekend! 

Your Corsair looks great!  I'm really looking forward to seeing that one completed myself.

I started moving today, and was able to get my internet all hooked up so I can continue to pester you guys while I move.

Here are a couple of pics of my new workshop, I am so excited!

Darren, The corsair looks great. You are almost there on another one. Good job.

Frank, Wow, you are one lucky guy. Will you also display all of your built ones there? Only one thing, watch out for the carpet monster - he has a huge amount of habitat there...

Leon 

Scott, Leon-

Thanks!  I am really excited to have about 700 sq ft (off of the room there is a HUGE workshop with built-in bench!) for modeling. 

Leon, you're right about the carpet monster!  My old shop had hardwood floors, so a quick sweep usually located missing parts.  Now, I have shag carpets!  Oh well, small price to pay for all of the room!

Darren, awesome-looking Corsair!

Frank, good to know everthing's progressing smoothly! That place is HUGE! OK everyone...party at Frank's place!!   

Nice! 

Hey.....lets get on over to Frank's place!

Frank, I'm sure all of us here wish you all the very best in your new home.

Cheers mate!

Y'know, that workshop is soooo big that you could have two parties-lets get the Spitfire GB guys over here as well!

Thanks guys!

Heck, this place is so big let's invite the Spitfire, WWI, and FAA Gb's over!  Woohoo!

Darren, looking good friend.

Frank, That's a big hobby room  So when is the house warming party?  I need some advance warning for plane tickets

Roy

Corsair is looking good Darren.  Keep up the good work.

Regards,  Rick

Frank-nice place to work. 

Darren-the Corsair looks great!

I looked at my Hellcat & decals a bit this evening.  At my current rate of production with other builds in progress, I should get started on it late June/early July.

Roy-

Stop on by on your way to Florida!

Darren, nice work on the Corsair   Keep the pics coming.

Frank, looks like you have enough room there to do some 1:1 modeling on a spitfire in there.  Good luck on the move. 

Thanks for your the kind words about my Corsair guys, much appreciated.

I have got all the decals on now and have given them a nice dose of Micro-sol.  I have most of today to myself so I'll be working on the F-15 as well.

I'm going to do a little on-line shopping too, I worked hard last month, so I'm going to treat myself at the online LHS.

See you all later! 

Darren-

Please do treat yourself!  Sounds like you really deserve it.

Dave-

With all of this space, I'm really thinking about re-opening my R/C workshop.

Frank, I did check out the route on Mapquest.  I will be leaving Wyoming heading towards Ft Knox, KY to visit my brother and then on to FL.  Your place would be out of the way  as it is its 1700+ miles and 26+ hours for me.

Roy

Roy-

Oh, well.  If you are ever in the area, look me up!  And if anyone decides to go to the EAA fly-in next month, I am only two hours south of there.  I also have a line on free unlimited pass week-long tickets!
