SPA Modeler

Currently working on an Academy 1/72 PBY-5A (Battle of midway 80th anniversary edition)
Having fun learning how to build again with different paints
And i have the beginnings of a sculpture of an angler fish on my desk too. My assignment for university is to use metal and found objects to create a sculpture, so im using parts of a kids toy plane to create the head and light, and strips of metal to create the body work.
Yes ill post photos when im done

I doubt anyone cares (or is still awake) but hey! I've got the painting finished and a gloss coat on my Hurricane!!!



Seriously, I've had so little modelling time this year it sucks - 10-20 mins a day if I'm lucky. It's March (almost) and I've yet to finish anything. Pah! At least I can actually do some decals now - as it would appear that I haven't actually decalled a model since last November...

Cheers!

Hey, I care. Okay, not a lot, but some. Well a bit, anyway…

That is looking very good!

Almost ready to go tank plinking!

Thanks John!

I did actually build a mk.IID with the big cannons a few years back, using the old Matchbox kit.

Getting some decals - I'll have to leave it now to set before do the other side.

No ! Squadron SAAF, North Africa 1942.



Loving the Springbok on the cowling.

Cheers!

Looking good, Stuart!

Thanks Tom!

Got the decals finished, matt coat done and the masking removed - I need to touch up a couple of the frames but overall I'm happy with that.

Looking good. Love the big guns!

Looking very sharp in the desert colors Stuart! Not too far to the finish line... or in this case, the flight line.
