JCote Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Beautiful work, Derek, I can see why you've had little time for your other modeling activities. That's really top-notch. Jean P.S. If someday you decide to resume your long-neglected Spit XVI build, some of us shan't be too disappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 ...I know Jean, it haunts me continuously... Thanks for the nice comments on the Beaufighter interior. Once I get chance to re-group and clear the pre-Modelworld carnage that is my excuse for a modelling table, I'll dig the Spitfire out for a little 'R & R' inbetween making master patterns Best regards Derek Jean P.S.

ollieholmes Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Sorry if you have anserd this before but i cant read most of the early pages for some reason. I have tried to refresh the pages but it has not worked. My question is are you allowed to say who is going to release this set? Will you tackle the engines to? how about wheel bays?

Dave Pratt Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Vector makes an excellent engine for the Beaufighter...the detail is really fantastic.As for the rest of the work,well,Derek is busy as can be these days with other projects...but stay hopeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek B Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 Brian: Thank you for the compliments - Nice to hear from you again Harv: This interior detail set has been a long time in coming, and I know many of you are eager for it. Despite the fact that I am battling very hard to complete my commitment to other peoples master patterns, and the fact that I have an incredibly hectic work and home life, I shall complete the Beaufighter patterns in due course, so I thank you all for your continuing paitience. Apart from the interior detail set WIP that you see, I do have many other things planned for the Beaufighter, including a full TF.X conversion, dihedral tailplanes, 'Hedghog' exhausts, undercarriage detail sets, early canopy and maybe engine cowlings as well, just to mention a few (I cannot possibly compete with Sergi's (Vector Models) masterpiece of resin craftsmanship in his 1/32 resin Hercules engines). Ollie: Sorry that you could not view my earlier posts (I can't reall understand why - maybe some of the LSP staff can offer you more advice on this one?). Although I cannot predict a release date for these patterns as yet, my intention is to release them under my own brand name. Dave: I also am hopeful - thanks for the support.

Ironwing Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Drek, I can only echo what has already been said. Superb craftsmanship and attention to detail...maybe you can teach me how to make scissor links...I...(ahem)...suck at it Great work...

Cees Broere Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Derek, You are a true master. How's the Welkin doing? Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 Dave: Thank for the unworthy comments - I am still gobsmacked by your amazing P-51 build (we can talk scissor links any time you want to Dave!). Cees: After viewing your 0/400 build, it feel like it is I who am the student learning from the master! The Welkin is sitting next to the Beaufighter pattern - and has progressed about as far, meaning not at all. I need to clear my modelling space at some future point in time in order start sanding the Welkin wings to shape. Cheers guys Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Excellent work Derek! It's nice to see your work with the master patterns, as always! Cheers, Håkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
