Good job so far. Keep it up!

Andrew P
Great progress! The metallic finish looks especially good. Did you have to re-mask and re-paint? (Image #54)

Paulo Fonseca
Yes Andrew, I've to correct some small parts...

Moreno Baruffini
I like "what if" models, so following!!!

Ps I also sometimes take pictures with wet paint, no problem 😉👍🏻

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat here too!

Nicolas

Moreno Baruffini
Good progress! Concerning the landing lights, you could sand them a bit, and then finish with polishing 😉

Gergely Rácz
Thank You, Moreno. One of them went missing since then (perhaps not enough glue was applied, and it fell off while I was working on the wings), so I'll have to make one from scratch. A piece of clear sprue might do the job.

Another Gorby-licious small-scale "weird" (we wouldn't want you any other way) creation... Definitely in! 👍

gorby
Welcome to the show Alex and thanks very much. 🙂
The buildy bit is nearly complete so, as usual I'm playing catch-up with the report. Hopefully another update tomorrow. 🙂

David Taylor
Back in.

Robert Podkoński
Another talent-show from gorby! Definitely in!

Jay Dubya
Front row seat, on the bleachers, please Gorby. I wouldn't want to crane my neck to see!

Ben M
🪑

gorby
Thanks for your interest mates. I hope not to disappoint. 🙂

John Hughes
Another build in the series "What's gorby up to now?" Be honest, though. The only reason you didn't have orange flares was that you couldn't get over the fence at the local airfield to steal a couple of windsocks!

Kesa Tiho
I dont understand anything thats going on but i hope your build turns out absolutely stunning

gorby
That made me laugh John. 😄
Kesa: I like to buildodd looking vehicles some of which are converted from standard kits. I looooove scratch building.
Thanks both for tagging along. 🙂

Kesa Tiho
Scale models can be converted? So like a F111 model could be fitted with a nuke even though the original model didnt have one?

gorby
Definitely Kesa, there is a whole range of aftermarket conversions you can buy or if you are feeling adventurous, some conversions are reasonably easy to scratch build yourself. I have a couple of drawers full of plastic sheet of various thickness and plastic and metal rods, tubes, strips etc. I once saw a fantastic large scale scratch build of a B17 build that used the plastic from yogurt pots as the skin.

Kesa Tiho
Woahhhhh

Kesa Tiho
I think i now have something to do over the summer now >:]

gorby
Excellent!
I found a link to the B17 I mentioned. It shows what is possible:

Kesa Tiho
Holy flying fudge that looks lovely

David Taylor
Hi Gorby.On the real truck there is a winch as a standard fit in the middle.

Spanjaard
amazing job my friend. not tobe missed, certainly
thanks for the link to that 1:20 B17, it is out of this world.....

gorby
Thanks David, that might have been the reason. 👍
Thanks Spanjaard. That B17 is one of the best scratch-builds I've ever seen - well beyond my ability. I think he sold it to a museum in the US.

Sy Bar
🍿, loving the progress s far 👍

gorby
Thanks Sy, hopefully another update soon. 🙂

Spanjaard
that B17 is certainly where it belongs!

gorby
New photos start at number 18.
I hope to complete the build today and hopefully take some photos in the next couple of days.
Thanks for tagging along. 👍
