WHAT’S ON THE BENCH
Stuart - With the model show planning and life, no time for bench work this week.
Geoff - two windstorms in London impacted our neighbourhood, resulting in changes in our lives and one chainsaw accident…
As a tie in to the books I’ve been reading I worked on repairing a couple of dinosaur skeletons originally built by Steve Harvey, who passed away last year.
[foogallery id="4002"]
A year ago I built a 1/48 Monogram DC-3 for my brother, who had just become a grandfather and wanted a “bush plane/rescue thing” to hang from the ceiling of his cottage. A fellow club member made custom decals for “Nana and Pops Rescue Service”, with a logo I designed of a bare bum passing explosive gas. It was flown by my brother’s nom de plume, “Rocco Flamefart”…. Anyway, he wants more vehicles for the “fleet”, so I am now building a Heller 1/72 DC6B in N&P markings!
I also have been working on the old Hobbycraft 1/28 Fokker DR1. Not bad and satisfyingly substantial!
