I've really enjoyed finishing this one off,
I've got a few more to finish, building my Matchbox Sea Venom 1/32, see updates in the wip
there's also a 1/72 Revell Flower Class Corvette half built
and a 1/72 Concorde, and a Vostok and Saturn 1b
I'd like to clear some of my backlog but itching to start something new

Coen · Post by **Coen** » Thu Aug 29, 2013 1:17 am

Graham, that flower class corvette, is it the Revell Premium Edition?

Rob · Post by **Rob** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 12:12 pm

Great collection of very fine looking models - the Sea Venom is especially impressive and at 1/32 must be quite a size.

You know what they say - Varity is the spice of life
i tend to build what i like - haven't got a particular theme but i like Cold War to Modern flighty things and modern floaty things -
what ever takes my fancy when i look in my stash
i have a Harrier GR7 on the bench ATM and an Airfix S Boat next on the list as part of a GB in another forum.
many thanks for the comments - keeps my enthusiam going

Another Restoration Project - built about 10 years ago (or maybe more) a Tamiya Snap fit model of Nigel Mansell's Indi Car
cleaned up and a coat of clear - the decals have mostly survived

hope it meets the portfolio standards

Coen · Post by **Coen** » Wed Nov 20, 2013 3:04 pm

The standards are set by you Graham. It's your portfolio buddy!!
This is an excellent addition to it I must say.
Wow.. you really build all over the map eh?
A wee bit of everything here.
That's awesome!!!

Nige201980 · Post by **Nige201980** » Wed Nov 20, 2013 3:41 pm

graham22 · Post by **graham22** » Wed Nov 20, 2013 7:25 pm

cheers guys, just totally failed with an FW13, far too far gone without total repaint and decal, then a wheel fell off, so consigned to the spares box.

graham22 · Post by **graham22** » Tue Nov 26, 2013 4:48 pm

Another one i found at the back of a cupboard
Tamiya Mini Cooper in 1/24 - built about 15 years ago.

time has not been it's friend - the decals have faded and cracked - poor thing - looks better in the photo than it is, but no parts broken so has to be included
hope you like it - thanks for looking

graham22 · Post by **graham22** » Fri Nov 29, 2013 11:42 am

very nice collection Graham very impressive

great work mate

Shane.

graham22 · Post by **graham22** » Tue Jan 21, 2014 4:15 pm

Been ages since i've finished anything so
below is my latest offering
Airfix - 1/72 German S-Boat (Schnellboote operated from Heligoland September 1939)

Enjoyed this build - although the tooling is old and a lot of flash to contend with, it went together will with few problems
If I built again I would prob go for metal railing posts as i seemed to have to repair them often

pretty pleased with the final result - thanks for looking and on to the next one

ludicrusmaximus · Post by **ludicrusmaximus** » Sat Jan 25, 2014 7:25 am

That's a fabulous collection, Graham, and a great mix. They all look smooth and crisp, but your Titanic and S-boat really stand out to me. The jets too

graham22 · Post by **graham22** » Mon Feb 10, 2014 12:46 pm

My Latest Addition
Airfix 01043 Northrop F-5A Freedom Fighter
1st Fighter Base, Mehrabad, Imperial Iranian Air Force 1965

Hand painted (so don't look too close

)

this is the old tooling - lots of filler and sanding but i think it looks ok
thanks for looking
