Airfix 1/144 Saturn V skylab

[Guest]

Hi all here is my next project (with a bit of trepidation)never built a rocket before but, I do think the paint job is boring to say the least, so, eXpect some major changes.

Good luck, my first build (just finished) was the Apollo Saturn V moon rocket. The paint job may look boring but wait until you have done all that tape masking and try to get a good clean edge with black on white over those corrugations! However, I am sure it will look great when finished and that you will enjoy the build.

my muggy s ask if your making them a new scratching pole but could they plz have some carpet on it lol,


well day light saving endd hear last night and i can see you have your spring veg,s ready to go,

[Guest]

Certainly do moni you don't miss much, we're cutting down this year though, veggies are so cheap now it's hardly worth bothering

[monica]

true but nice to potter about in the garden thats why i do it each year ,


but the last few season have been real bad for growing ,things just dont grew right,

[Guest]

When you do it as a living, when I get home I don't want to spend any time in the garden.

[monica]

can see that point ,it would be like that,as for me lets me get some time outside with the muggy s lol,

Hi all not done any modeling today but lots of research its going to be red white and blue but in dazzle cammo, I can't do links to sites but dazzle seems to become varied, almost tribal. I used to be a Tattooist till it got to my eyes. I quite like the leviathan camo or the 1915 Olympic troopship camo what do you think.

[Guest]

Hi all well here is a small update, this is just a mock up of how I figure it going, I am doing this as a fast troop transport, when I say fast I mean, real fast.
