It's Baz-tastic! Glad to see you back in the saddle! Excellent work and I just love your "Centralia" concept.

I wanted to call Isaac "Boaz", but Mrs Nev wouldn't have it.

Oh man, you know what?  I finished this and have been flying it all over the house for a whole week and I just realized I never posted pics of the finished product!

So here are some pics, photo-edited to remove the bamboo skewer holding it up.
Oh, and before anyone gets impressed with the very straight aerial wire, it is photo-edited!!!   :P

I had wanted my prop spinner to look like it was at full RPM so I filled the Airfix kit's spinner with the Bondo putty so the holes for the prop blades would be filled in solid.  Ooops, the plastic part disintegrated.  Great trick if you're doing a crash diorama!   So, I cut one of my homemade resin prop cones down to size.  I liked the natural resin color so much I just gloss-coated it as is.





Banners, anyone?

I've decided to cut down on my posts on other people's builds unless it's something which reeeeally impresses me.



Thus, I'm here.







:wub:  :wub:  :wub: FANTABULOUSLY SPLENDIFOROUS! The markings look fantastic, the "I'm running" spinner is terrific, hell, it's a Mk.Vb so it's an automatic winner in my book regardless. Huzzah and well done!

Brilliant Baz and you had fun  :P  
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

QuoteI had forgotten how much fun hand-brushing without any regard for tape or camo demarcation could be.

Amen, Brother Baz !

Sometimes, that's just what a guy needs........

Great job as well ! Love the markings.....and flying completed models about the house is one of my favourite pastimes !

:cheers:  
CANADA KICKS arse !!!!

Long Live the Commonwealth !!!
