Derek You are too kind, gentlemen. It’s humbling to know that such esteemed fellow modellers take inspiration from me sticking bits of plastic card together.

tomprobert Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 Well... it's been a while. With a New Year's resolution not to start any more projects until the current ones are finished, the Shackleton has come out of storage for some time on the bench... well... er... the kitchen table. With the Sunderland now in the process of being painted - which I can only do at weekends due to the dark evenings - I thought I'd do some work on this again during the week. The airframe is structurally complete (I can't recall why I ran out of steam, actually) so I've begun the long process of scribing and adding some surface detail. The primer coats are nice and stable now so the scriber takes to this really well - so far, anyway. A few long evenings ahead, and I'll post some more pictures when there's more worth showing Tom GMK, Starfighter, MikeMaben and 24 others 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all live in my loft - which is thankfully quite large and my domain! Just as I was getting back into this I have contracted the dreaded Covid so am not really feeling up to any modelling. I think I’m over the worst so hoping to get back to the bench sometime soon! Tom GMK, scvrobeson, LSP_Kevin and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
