Haven't been in the mood for models of late

[Jamie Tainton]

but don't worry I should be back at it one of these days. The board will not be going any where. Here for the long haul.

I've noticed the board has been pretty quiet as of late so I am thinking that this earlier sentiment is still holding true for some of us. Well truth be told, I am at my model bench just about every night but I am working on some aircraft right now. I have a shelf of started but unfinished models that I want to clear off and most of them are aircraft. I told myself, no new projects until five older ones are completed first. Well I finshed an Aurora 1/48 Pfalz DIII (well 95%, need to replace the spinner) and last night I primed a Hobbycraft 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109G-10. I have another Hobbycraft 1/48 109 (actually an Avia 199) that is just about ready for paint as well as a 21st Century 1/32 Messerschmitt BF109F-2/4 kit that I converted to a G-2 (not much of a conversion really as the kit is closer to a G-2 then an F). The fifth kit to be completed is a Eastern Express 1/72 Supermarine S-6B which has the primer and base coat of aluminum painted on. Now it needs to be masked and the last color painted on. The masking will be tough as there is rigging that will get in the way. So that is what I have been doing. Once I get these finished I think I will be ready to start my Trumpeter Neubaufahrzeug #1 kit as my friul tracks that I ordered for it came in this week.

PS. I also have a 1/72 Super Etendard that is just about ready for paint.

Very nice Roy, do you post your aircraft anywhere else? I've done some in the past, and currently have a Hasegawa P-47D 1:32 that I want to get started.

[Tim Coulson]

I do aircraft models as well. I've got a 1/35 and a 1/32 Fieseler Storch to build, as well as a 1/48 Mosquito that is in progress.

I would like to be at my model bench, but unfortunately I haven't been able to do any modelling for a couple of weeks now as I have been unwell with a cold/virus.

Roy, have you seen the Rivet-R rivet making tool by RB Productions?
