Looks like a pleasant place.

Martin Oostrom
Do we have the same wife 🤔

Lebloge
we are in the presence of a man of taste… Leffe blonde… triple Westmalle « que du bon »😄

Bozzer
Wife's first build in the UK.

Martin Oostrom
I'd love to see pictures of the build

Bozzer
I'm in the middle of creating an album mate. It'll be her SM debut 🙂

Nigel Chapman
Has the man cave become his 'n' hers?

Bozzer
There's always been a spot in the new cave, for the Mrs, Nigel. But, it's getting tighter, with all the kits I've got.

Martin Oostrom
If you're in need of space, I'm more than willing to offer a ridiculously low price for some of your gorgeous kits. 😁

Chris T. An
This is the first time for me to tackle a complete resin kit. And when I look at the individual parts, it will be a real challenge. There is an extreme amount of rework needed on each part. Hope I can get it to work.

Finn
Best of luck, it will be interesting to follow

Michael Kohl
I am in too

Robert Podkoński
I will watch with pleasure and interest too.

Alex K
A 3D-printed PZL Dromader???!!! Following for sure!! (The Grand Models cast-resin kit is perhaps above my skills - and I still wait for the Karaya injection one...). Your ag-aircraft & ground equipment dio will turn... monumental! 👍

Marcel Klemmer
Very interesting project👍 I am in

Villiers de Vos
Very nice progress on an unusual subject.

Chris T. An
Thank you all for watching. Alex, I also saw the Grand Models kit for the M18, but I was frightened from some build reviews, there is a lot of rework to do on that kits. I have now the same or a bit more work, but I got the 3D file for free from Thingiverse.

I am really not a Pro in sratch building but I will try to engrave some panel lines and add some more greeblies to the plane. The 3D file is very poor in details.

Alex K
Nice progress! 👍

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic Dromader! (I wish I had one... I have no access to 3d printing, alas...😭 )

Chris T. An
Robert, you can have a look to the Grand Models resin kits. I am much more disappointed that there is no kit in 1:72 and no 3D file of a PZL 106 Kruk. I would spend some money on that because it would fit perfect to the Dromader and Cmelák.

Robert Podkoński
Actually, that is something that makes me angry too - I would love to see (and buy) decent kits of "Wilga" and "Kruk" (not mentioning PZL M-15 "Belphegor" 😉 )... but apparently no Polish manufacturers are interested in preparing these.

Alex K
Guys... let's look a bit at the bright side: who would have thought a few years ago that one day (today!) there would be kits of the Cmelak, the Dromader, the Grumman AgCat (in both 1:72 & 1:48!!!), the Piper Pawnee?! Some are short-run, some are cast-resin, some are 3D-files-to print - nevertheless, something is slowly moving towards that direction! So, yes, I do hope too there will be someday a Kruk available in 1:72 or a Belphegor! And your buys of such kits and your modelling work proves that there's some interest in such topics! Keep it up! 👍

Robert Podkoński
You're right, Alex 🙂 "Always look on the bright side of life..." 😉

Robert Podkoński
I am afraid there is a spelling error on the decals, Chris... I see "Dromedar" instead of "Dromader"... The plane looks awesome!

Chris T. An
Robert, I can understand that it is confusing, but in the GDR, "Dromedar" was actually used. This is the German translation of the word. Feel free to search for pictures of it, here would be an example: [img1]

Robert Podkoński
I have not known about that, sorry Chris... That's really interesting.

Alex K
Nice trivia... and as Robert said: it looks awesome!

Bernhard Schrock
Dromader: An outstanding result from such a simple kit!

Neuling
Everything top notch here! But what about the excavator? May a combined diorama?

Chris T. An
The excavator is still coming. I haven't dared to go any further yet. Let's see, maybe I'll get motivated again in the fall/winter. 😉

Neuling
👍

Michael Kohl
Very well done Dromedar. Anxious about the excavator.

Villiers de Vos
Fantastic work on the crop duster.

Chris T. An
It is not easy to find out with which lettering the excavator was delivered in the color used in the respective year of construction. I'll have to see which decals I print out.

Ben M
What a great project! You got an amazing result with the 3d printed aircraft.

Scot R
Following alone. I have a a similar project in a box waiting for the right inspiration.

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat!

Andrzej Rygiel
Whoa, I have an audience now! 😄 Hope that I do not embarrass myself - if you have any comment on things that could had been done differently, I'm open to suggestions.

René "Lord Bilbo" Bartholemy
Taking a seat!
Will you build it OOB?

GUILLAUME C
Hi, Thanks. Mainly OOB, with some improvements, like on the engine where rods where missing.

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat too.

Michael Kohl
Anxious to see how you replicate the metal structure at the cowling.

GUILLAUME C
I will left this uniform, to hard to have te same result as real at this scale.
I've tried before, on spare part, with 2 metal colors and even if I use my 0.2mm airbrush, the result is awfull

GUILLAUME C
@Michael Kohl, Hope the result will enjoy you.

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic job, Guillaume!

Hi Guy 👋😃👍
Taking good shape now, has it all gone together ok so far..?? Tamiya are usually good?
I've only do one armour model....the Airfix Sherman 1/72 ....was a gift.
Best of luck with next steps 👍👍

Guy Rump
Primer is now on! Next is the undercoat colour. 👍

Many thanks Mr D for your kind comment. It's fitted together really well as you'd expect. I'm experimenting with this one with a bit of weathering and chipping, hopefully it will turn out ok. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Jan P, RolfRolf & Lukas M. 👍

Guy Rump
