As mentioned before, great going. Just include a finished photo in the Group Build.

Prop disc or prop blades?. I suspect it will be blades. The disc I need to make is five bladed with a double warning ring. But as I only have inch tape available, when I have cut out the required areas the tape remaining is in small pieces so I fear the worst when sanding. If successful, I will have to remask the lower line of the inner warning ring before colouring. But I have cut out a set of blades just in case. Regards Paul J.
Looks promising.
Lou
I think I will have another try at the spinning prop, the first attempt worked ok with the sanding process, but failed miserably at the warning circle painting stage. The paint would not spread evenly when spinning, it turned out blotchy. The resut in the picture is after I tried to sand it back, but that didn't work very well either. I was going to go with the prop blades, but since making the spinner I feel happier with the spinning prop. I will probably make both to see which I like best. Regards Paul J.
Your spinning prop looks great Paul. Are you up to making decals for the warning stripe? Check out my Yukon project.
Lou
Yes I saw that Lou, looks very effective. I might have a try.Regards Paul J.
The spinner and model look great Paul.
Lou
Thanks Lou, how did your gloss poly trials go?. Regards Paul J.
In the paintshop for primer coat 1. Regards Paul J.
Things that dreams are made of. You have to love this hobby when things work out so well.
Lou
I couldn't agree more, unfortunately real life interferes and I have to do other jobs. >:( Happily the site is secured for another 3 years. ;D ;D ;D Regards Paul J.
Very impressive and detailed landing gear Paul!
Peter
Great looking undercarriage. Please send me your Photobucket adress so I can see a larger image.
Lou
Thanks for the comments Peter/Lou, I'll sort that address for you. Regards Paul.
Fantastic work(or in this case pleasure). Waiting eagerly for the finished paint job.
Lou
Thanks Lou, more pleasure today but I will post tomorrow night as I am going to have some more pleasure tomorrow as well, and will have a bit more to report. Regards Paul J.
Managed to get all the main colour coats finished now, just a couple of black areas around the exhausts and the sharkmouth to do, the u/c doors require the underside colour and rocket pods the same on the pylons. I will do some better pics in daylight later on.Regards Paul J.
Looking good Paul!!!
Peter
Thanks Peter, I just thought I would dry run a few bits while waiting for paint and varnish to dry. For a larger view in Firefox, righ click the image and select view image. Regards Paul J.
Looking great even without the close up.
Lou
I remembered the link you gave me and I went in. It looks even better in close up. Neat work space. Nothing like mine.
Lou
Thanks for the comments Lou, anything I post on here goes in that folder so you can see the original files. My work space has to be kept resonably tidy and sawdust free, as my office is snug to say the least. I do the odd bit of razor sawing and sanding, but I have a usb vaccuum cleaner to hoover up afterwards, as I do all the painting in there and can't afford for it to be dusty. Best regards Paul J.
Wonderful project Paul. Your decals reaslly turned out well. The best I can do is duplicate images I find on line.
Lou
Thanks Lou, I get a bit nervous when doing my own decals as they can cause a lot of stress if they go wrong. I used your water on glass method to avoid overwetting them just in case they run. I don't have word on my computer to do as you do with the lettering. Regards Paul J.
Any word processing program will work. What program do you have? I have worked a bit with Lotus some time ago.
Lou
Very nice lettering, Paul. Another way to make decals. I've just got a laptop and am really really struggling so far.It still is a tossup whether it ends up in the garbage.
Cliff.
Thanks Cliff, I was originally going to try and use the letters individually on the toon,but remembered I had some clear film. It is probably better on the film as the rub offs don't always stick very well on first attempt to rub them down. I also struggle when trying to print letters on my computer, mainly with the sizing of them, but have better success with roundels etc. Keep trying you will get there in the end.Regards Paul J.
Just the one pic for now before fitting the prop circle and the stand which is drying in the paintshop. I will take some pics of the finished toon hopefully tomorrow if it stops raining and we get some daylight. Regards Paul J.
She is a beauty Paul. I await more photos.
Lou
Thanks Lou, I didn't get any photo's done today but I'll get some done as soon as I can.Regards Paul J.
Fantastic model Paul. You are to be congratulated on your masterpiece. The details are excellent as well as your decals.
Lou

Is this what you were looking for Lou?, two more views. Did you say I had to post in the gallery as well?. I tried to log in but my password details won't work. I will send you the plans when I get them finished. Regards Paul J.
