papa 695 Lancaster down

[papa 695]

Hi all got this for a birthday prezzy [ATTACH]40490.vB[/ATTACH] so i'm going to use the Lancaster out of it [ATTACH]40491.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]40492.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]40493.vB[/ATTACH] The Lancaster's going to be shot down in a field ( think this theme may come up a lot in this GB ) After a successful bombing raid so at least theres some plane left

I was thinking of doing this first [ATTACH]40494.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]40495.vB[/ATTACH] Showing a crash at an air show. If i have time i may still do it

Nice one Ian, but you're not going to trash a perfectly good model....are you?lol

The Sukhoi would be easy to do, just get a grassy dio. base and empty the contents of the box onto it. No need to glue anything together....Job done!

Cheers,

Ron

Nice chooise and good idea Ian!

Good luck!

I would off gone for the Lancaster as well. The thought of making and painting 10000 figures for the crowd at an air-show would drive me nuts!

Joking aside I can also envisage a few crashed aeroplanes turning up in this SIG.

I will be watching this one go down.......get it, go down. crash, oh never mind.

[papa 695]

Hi Aaron Well i would say TRYING to do a wrecked Lancaster this may take the full 6 months to complete

[Guest]

you'll do it Ian. plenty of scope on a crashed lanc to work on.

looking forwards to seeing it come together

[aaron]

All good things take time good luck Ian

Hi all started it today [ATTACH]41023.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]41024.vB[/ATTACH] Because its a crashed Lancaster and part of the inside will be seen, I started to put the framework on[ATTACH]41025.vB[/ATTACH] started by marking where the spars go in pencil [ATTACH]41026.vB[/ATTACH]

Then the frame spars [ATTACH]41027.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]41028.vB[/ATTACH] got the cross spars to put on but its a start
