Glenn's Current Modeling Projects

All right, I apology... $:-\$
I just meant: removing one jet has already been performed by Glenn (while he added a nose piston-engine), I think he will not do the same again. Or maybe another asymmetric as both jet on the port wing and none on starboard? For some technical reason yet to find

The other single-engined version is just the piston-engine in the nose and no jet, but this was the true first prototype, not what-if, sadly...

Hi guys, today I'm back with the Glowplug, but now with it's port wing.

Scale : 1/144
Construction : S/B Balsa

Congratulations - such a perfection in scratchbuilding, this is impressive...

Agreed

Me too.

Hi guys.....today I'm back with the Samson from Avatar. This is the 1/35sc model and to date, have just started the wedge faring forward of the rotor mountings to the canopy.

Wow! I wish I had your scratchbuilding talent, Glenn. Is this a balsa basis?

Glenn · February 12, 2012, 07:48:06 PM

No Tophe, it's based around an Academy 1/35 Huey. Converted and covered in balsa, bogged, sanded and varnished to the condition it now is.

That Samson looks amazing, almost organic

Glenn · February 13, 2012, 06:31:50 PM

Yeah, it always reminded me of a giant dragonfly!

Back with the two acrylic flutes. Have since added the tube around middle and the pointed nose cone. At present is almost finished, construction I mean.....Once you see the model assembled, the penny should drop!

Back with the 1/48 B-45 Tornado. When I attached the port wing I found that it was too thick and couldn't set it at the correct angle. Had to cut the top layer down and re-think where I was going. She'll be big, even without the wingtip tanks, the span is 580mm.

Great model but not easy... $:-\$

I am just sad that you may have to destroy old models to provide room for the new big ones. Or will you buy another house, a museum?

Glenn · February 20, 2012, 11:16:45 PM

Lots of these aircraft models will be displayed hanging from a ceiling....where the computor is, that's 1/48. My bedroom is 1/144...mum won't let me display anything in her room, and the kitchen and lounge are both no-no's!
PITY!!!

Sounds like the classic builders paradox. Our ability to generate display space lags our assembling powers.
