MikeMaben Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Thanks again Jo. Please tell him we appreciate seeing his work. Has he ever built a kit (like us mere mortals ) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Fox Posted September 26, 2021 Author Share Posted September 26, 2021 Hi all, Alan has passed along his beloved photo album, so I'm carefully scanning in his favourite models. Here are the first few... adameliclem, LSP_Kevin, Starfighter and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMcD Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Are these all scratchbuilt kits?? Maybe I should stop modeling and find another hobby... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldbaldguy Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I would love to ask how he does this but I’m afraid I could not possibly understand the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adameliclem Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Thank you for these photos of Alan Clark’s work, Jo. I remember staring at pics of his Martin-Baker MB5 and being wholly amazed by it. Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europapete Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Alan's models always were showstoppers. My favorites are the Victoria and Singapore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 What an amazing collection of models! It's the flying boat that I remember the most vividly from magazines back in the day. Kev Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 WOW! There are some seriously realistic looking models in that collection. Amazing! Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiZac Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 The photos of the cabinets left me slackjawed but, and I do not think I have ever had this happen before, as I looked at the individual aircraft images I had tears welling up. These are so incredible - I think it was the Flamingo and Napier-Heston that did it, as well as the MB.5. Alan, wow. I am truly staggered at the level of your talent.

Grunticus Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Wow, wonderful stuff! Stunning! Imagine not having to rely on what kit manufacturers but just say to yourself: "I am going to build this or that", and to this standard even, way above mainstream kits.....Like a Fokker T.IX..wish I had the skill.
