Tiffies' Progress

[Ian the Kiwi Herder]

Great pun huh  

OK, here's the RoG 1:48 Tiffie. Other than the atrocious build-up of the bang-seat so far I haven't encountered any 'issues' with the kit. As strongly hinted-at over the past few weeks, it will be finished with 'maples' but until y'all see the paint going-on I'll not say much more about the colour scheme.

Soooooo here's the first three pics - Nose Weight anyone ??









Thanks for looking.

You might need titanium gear legs to hold all that up

But uranium legs will make nice effects...

Enriched or depleted?.
Just asking. - The maintenance guys

Love the modeling clay or whatever the bb's are embedded within.  Gives it that real "Captain----the airbags have deployed!" look.  

mmmmm, did you say "Maples"  

Then I did a double-take at that gorgeous cockpit: wow!  How'd you get that look in the displays?

Dunno, how about using second hand from an old powerplant?

maybe we can export some uranium in the near future.
You'll recognize Venezuelans because we'll glow in the dark. HAHAHA!!!

I think an old tungsten dart barrel would work really well here, you wouldn't have to pack so much in there.  Tungsten having a near atomic weight of lead and uranium.

Now that really is an easy one..... tell you what, I'll write-it-up on the hints/techniques forum,,,,,,

looks like blu-tac to me, another staple of the British modeller, along with Halfords + Klear
