Oh, they’ll all get built, Tom, just thinking of something unusual or interesting to do with them. I genuinely thought that there were only two in the box but there were four. ‘Eduard Royal’ Quattro set (name should’ve gave it away). Was going to position two Winter Wurgers (with the white tiger stripes) just taken off with gear half retracted, but, ah, not with FOUR.

Damned ADHD, what was I supposed to be doing? Oh, yeah...

P.S. if I start following Gardner’s example I’ll be right behind him as we’re both marched into the Booby Hatch...

And now, thanks to you, Tom, I also know that three aircraft are a ‘kette’ (‘chain’).

Thank you, Chaz.

Today I finally got a little time at home and on the bench. At the moment I have a few projects on the assembly line in different stages of progress. The ‘On This Day’ thread is really provoking a lot of motivation; I’m hoping with a little better weather and the lighter evenings I’ll get more build time.

Today I was just finessing some details on the Orca. I also did a little work on the underwater Hellcat (look carefully and you’ll see a little more of the ‘coral’), here seen impersonating ‘Bruce’ the shark at the end of ‘Jaws’

It’s a long weekend here in the U.K. so tomorrow I’m hoping to get a few hours in and post some progress.

May not look like a quantum leap, but I did spend a lot of time on the Orca today. Almost completed the hull, did a little more cleaning up and detailing, and fixed on the gunwales.

Next session there’ll be some cosmetic differences and an actual boat will start to emerge.

Michael, I forgot the Hellcat has teeth I painted on, so positioned her a little better so they show...
...actually, it looks better than the shark they used in the movie.

Looking good David. But that poor, poor Hellcat needs some TLC. 🙂

And after a little tidy up, this is the current status. Hull almost finished, soon ready for sanding and priming.

Thank you, David. Really appreciate you stopping in.

Louis, the Hellcat is waiting for a couple of things to fall into place. I have been searching for 1/48 civillian sitting down (for the sub) - and I’ve been experimenting with water to find the best medium to get a balance between the dark water I want, the visibility I want, and the the light penetration from leds.

The build is till a ‘goer’ and I think we’ll get on with it soon.

Cheers,

David.
