Lou, you can add two 1/144 models to the MotY. list. The ones with decals are finished.

Half the year is almost done with and we have 37 models on display in the Construction folder. That is assuming I have not forgotten anybody.

This has been an interesting half year with such a wide variety of subjects to show already,I was just thinking how good they would all look on a table at some model show displayed together,Lou would it be possible to do a montage picture of some sort at the end of the year showing the fruits of all our labours together ? combined with what we have here it would make for a great record,not sure how it can be done but someone versed in a paint programme would probably manage to come up with something ? food for thought anyway.

Montages were my favorite subject in MS Word classes. I will do one. Unfortunately I am limited to 22" X 22" due to my program.

Barry's got a great idea. And Lou should be able to do a good job with it to promote the Group.
Cliff.

Post by: Balsabasher on June 22, 2011, 09:05:23 PM
So great positive thoughts already on this idea,and just think we could also place a few of these montages on some of the other modelling groups at the end of the year to show our output and what we are doing to keep solids alive.

One could group them by era, type, or builder etc...

I have a bit of a dilemma here,lots of models in primer awaiting completion with paintwork and the damper  weather is un-suitable for painting as well,do I carry them over to 2012 ?
Barry.
Title: Re: 2011 Model Construction Comments
Post by: lastvautour on November 08, 2011, 12:57:06 AM
Yes, please hold them until they are completed. You will start off ther new year with quite a few.

Title: Additions
Post by: Balsabasher on December 16, 2011, 02:25:26 PM
Lou can you check out the broken link in Daves pictures,there is a dreaded 'x' so perhaps the source images have been moved ? and can you add the last minute Blackburn Beverley solid that was completed last week for me,thank you.
Barry.
Title: Re: Additions
Post by: lastvautour on December 16, 2011, 04:30:16 PM
Beverley was added earlier this morning. Dave's model come up as x because he removed them from the gallery. Those that remain are in my gallery.

Please note I merged Additions to this thread.


Year end coming pretty soon. I don't anticipate having any more models completed as I have a pretty full schedule until the new year. I will continue to accept photos for 2011 until mid Jan 2012.

Post by: Will on January 19, 2012, 05:08:57 PM
Hi

My votes would be for:

Jeff's Panther Oops Cougar
Ken's B-25
Barry's (balsabasher's) BE2c (Barry, if only you'd done a Renault-engined one with skids so it would look like the Wings TV planes / models it would be my definite no.1!  I love Barry's other WW1 efforts as well as the lovely Miles aircraft he's done but someone has to stick up for the poor old BE a century on from when it was the best plane around)

If a restoration counts then Mark B's P-80 looks pretty sharp!

Regards
Will (needing to get back to the balsa again)

Congratulations to all who participated in the model of the year. But especially to Jeff for, again showing how it's done with his excellent Cougar and, of course to all the others: Lou, Ken and Mark.What more does Scratch  Building have to do to prove that it deserves greater societal regard?
Cliff.
