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

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

Nah - i wish - was bought years ago so is the same as the Matchbox version (same moulds)

i do have the USS Iwo Jima in 1/350 platinum edition to build some time - thats got the etched parts included

but i wouldn't mind getting hold of the etched part kit for the corvette

very nice collection, love your Bismarck

Very nice varied collection of models there...especially like the Airfix Merlin and the Sea Venom...well done

Brian

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

Great looking work there! Love the Sea Venom!

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

thats a great looking Harrier.

thanks for the comments guys - keeps me 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
G

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!!!

love that mate

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.

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

Airfix BAe Harrier GR7A - ZD404 "Lucy" - Operation "Herrick" Kandahar, Afghanistan, November 2006

thanks for looking

Graham... that's beautiful work buddy. That daylight really goes a long way. She looks awesome!!!

Makes me want a Harrier Graham, i really like the racing cars and made a few years ago, some of this is memory lane and thank you for keeping the updates
Tom

cheers guys, means a lot to get nice comments,
got a German E Boat on the bench now + and old tool F5
also a Flower Class Corvette and 1/72 Concorde currently stalled

very nice collection Graham very impressive

great work mate



Shane.

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

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

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
