  1. Looks like you are going out with a bang! Fantastic work man. Your inspiration will be missed.
  2. Fantastic Job Chuck. The finished product was worth the wait. It would be great seeing you building the Airfix Spit. Although... I know you did a 1/48 scale version years ago but a 1/32 Lancaster would be an amazing addition to your collection. Either way, I look forward to seeing what you do next. But, take some time from this awful year and heal. Cheers, Chris
  3. Hi Craig, As Mike suggested, you could run one wire down each leg, posing as a brake line, into the brake itself into the tire and then out the bottom of the tire. They can then be run (under the mounting board) to the power supply. It's easier to drill a small hole into the bottom of each tire and run the wire through than to drill a larger hole to jam both into giving you less contact space to secure the model down with. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z2QPtxo2Xwt1WTvpXotjACxz7OuBPcjr/view?usp=sharing (Sorry I don't have a photo sharing account any longer.) I have done something similar with a ship model using the conductive properties of the brass stand to connect to the wires (one for each of the brass stands) to the slot in the underside of the board. Being wood it doesn't conduct the charge.
  4. Hi Chuck, Sorry to hear about your misadventures. Makes me wonder if your not allergic to metal? My wife had a similar experience but she knew about her allergy to metals so it wasn't a surprise. She was told that the stainless steel they use is hypoallergenic. Nope. Not so much. Now that they have taken the metal out hopefully you will have a better recovery. Good luck. Take it in baby steps. We will all wait for you. Because after all, modeling is a game of patients. And we want to see you healthy so we can marvel at the finished product and then the next one you do. Cheers, Chris
  5. Hi Chuck, I'm sorry to hear you are still suffering from your surgery. The smiley face I put above was for the comment about you not being sure which is more painful. Obviously your sense of humor is still intact. Here's to a speedy recovery, Chris
  6. Wow. As always you have done some amazing and very informative work. Thank you for sharing, Chris
  7. Congratulations on the retirement Chuck. It has to be both liberating and a little scary. The oil and gas industry here in Alberta has definitely changed over the last few years as you mentioned. Good time to get out. Although you no longer have the work commitments I’m sure you will keep busy. Hopefully not so busy you can’t find the time to amaze us with your incredible builds and always educational postings you give us. Keep up the great work, Chris
  8. I have had success with this website: Live Resin - unfinished paintable resin figures in 1/35 scale. Accessories for military dioramas, armor models, model kits (live-resin.com) Chris Sorry I missed the reply.
  9. Truly amazing. Thank you for sharing this with us. It will be great to see the next "Little Bird" you are creating. :-) Stay safe, Chris
  10. An amazing build. You have gathered some great reference photos. Are you thinking (please, please) of putting together a book similar to the others you have done with Reid Air Publications? Or work with Kevin? Just asking... Thank you for some great inspiration. Happy modeling, Chris
  11. Hello, Just found this thread. As has been said before "WOW" just doesn't seam adequate to cover this amazing build. Incredible attention to detail and fantastic research information you are sharing. I have the Tamiya 1/32 scale kit in my stash and will be using your build as inspiration when I actually start putting plastic together. Thank you for sharing your work with us. I have to admit it is good to see someone such as yourself who is willing to share when things don't go well and what you did to overcome the errors. It gives hope to those of us (me anyway) who are basic modelers and struggle with the hobby. It helps keep the mo-jo going. Stay safe, Chris
  12. Looks great. I love how you add the connectors to the wiring. It definitely adds to the realism of the kit. It must be a PITA to line up and drill the little holes in the plastic to attach the wires to. Do you have a method to this? Do you poke the center first with a pin or something, then drill? Stay safe, Chris
  13. That cockpit looks amazing. Sorry to hear the Eduard Engine is not worth it, the pictures make it look pretty good. Happy modeling, Chris
  14. WOW! Fantastic scratch building. Very precise. A pleasure to follow. Take care, Chris
  15. Thank you very much sir.
