Beautiful.

I was going to crack open my packet of HWG seatbelts for the cockpit. But after the events of the last few weeks, i'm not in the mood to be a sadist. Yes they are fantastic belts when built up. But they are a kit in themselves imho. And at the moment. Actually sitting at the bench is a win.

So time to crack on with these.

Good to see you back at the bench Al!!

So my first time back at the bench since late May. Had a few mojo and life issues to deal with. But i have some time off now so thought i'd get some things done to this. Started to build up the undercarriage bay

Welcome back

[Jim R]

Glad you feel able to get back to this Alan .

Finally sat at the bench today. Decided to get some progress done on this stalled build.

I really want to finish this engine scratch build so i can move onto the undercarriage bay. So the rear end primed ready for Vallejo metal finish.

Will let that dry and then give it a blast over.

Good to see this back on the go Alan. Too much fine work has gone into iit just for it to languish at the back of the bench.

[AlanG]

Cheers Tim

Lost mojo, intense times at work and life stuff have made this sidelined. But i'm now actually wanting to get some model making done. So whilst i feel like this, i'll make the most of it

Vallejo Metal Color - Semi Matt sprayed. This really is a beautiful metal paint to spray (and brush). Also painted the pipes on the main engine body. Just a couple of touches up on the main body with some paints to do and paint the combustion chamber section then it's time to glue together and join up the last pipes

[AlanG]

Dry fit before gluing (minus internal combustion chambers)

[Mark1]

Looking rather nice.

[AlanG]

Cheers Mark. Getting there slowly but surely

Well done Al, great to see back at the bench!
