I currently doing decals for the Cessna 310 and applying the white finish to the Liberator. I took out a 1/350 scale T2 Tanker I started last year but put it back on the shelf when my drawings could not be found. I need to go on line to download new ones. I have 1 new project that is proving troublesome as there are no decent drawings of the Stinson Reliant SR-8. I have a drawing for a scale rubber power model that is being worked on but the side view is not in scale with the top and front view. When the from view has a circular cowling opening, it distorts the top fuselage view.

  Greetings All,

  Yak 1 - progressing. Still need to make up some exhausts.

   Yak 4 - All the big bits done. Getting final shape of engines right.

   Caproni CH 1- A little bit of progress - detail shaping of the fuselage completed. Wings sanded and
   primed. At some stage I'll make up a comb to do the ribs.
   
   Brandenburg W29 - 1/48 - started .

   Won't be able to do anything till beginning of June. I'm heading off with a couple of mates for a trip
   Across the Simpson Desert here in Oz.

   Cheers
   Gordon

Have you checked out the gallery lately? Quite a few uploads by Mr.Todd,  http://smm.solidmodelmemories.net/Gallery/thumbnails.php?album=367&page=1

Great work Mr.Todd,

If anyone needs their gallery space limit increased please let us know at; Administrator@solidmodelmemories.net
If you would like a Project board of your own, please do the same. I will warn you however, if it stays empty for months it will be removed. They do make the front page take longer to load.

???  :o  ::)  ;)   XRay. . .

I agree with Ray, that is indeed a fine collection of models by Johnnytodd! Excellent work on aircraft as well as ships. Is that wave Acton with the PT boat really a crumpled garbage bag?

As my hands become more arthritic, I'm slowing down...only 11 more to go..... four helicopters, Boeing Vertol Labrador, Sikorsky S51, R4, R6. A  B24,  Anson, Spitfire, U2,F86, and a Tracker. Some I'm repeating as the first ones are in a museum, others.....They're all cut out, and I always try to finish what I start. The Sikorsky R6 just needs landing gear.

As I gave my wood away, I guess I'll stop when these are done...maybe....
