Glenn's Current Modeling Projects

[Tophe]

The windows seem to be 1/69 still, not easy to recognize this flying boat yet... But this is interesting, go on

[Glenn]

There are 1552 modellers on this site....and if you can't check on Google, I may as well not be here.

Love that Hall boat. Be cool to see it finished !

Wasn't the last Grumman boat the Albatross ? I've seen some civy ones that looked larger but thought they were just Albatross deriviatives.

[Glenn]

Capt'n, think of the Albatross as a civilian flyingboat....looks like an Albatross, but is smaller.
Length 46'3"
Span    66'7"

I had checked the Goose and Widgeon but both exist in kits... so another one, probably.
EDIT: not the Mallard too...

[Glenn]

Thank you Tophe.....it will be a Mallard!

Now think of all the Grumman flyingboats that have been made into kits, but this one hasn't!

I mas misguided by Google, telling me there is a Mallard kit...

Expensive and flying, this is not a desk-model, so you were right somehow, Glenn

[Glenn]

Sorry Tophe, didn't think of R/C models, but everything is being made these days!
This will be my last model for a while, Matthew from Hobbyrama, (dodgymodeller) gave me this model to work on, as he was running out of time. This is a Battle of Britain class 4-6-2, Pacific built in the late 1950's.
He had ideas, but knew I was nuttier than he'll ever be.

Cool.....don't see many trains eh ?

[Glenn]

This will be the story of Biggen Hill, WW1 ace who........no, that's Matthews' story to tell, not mine!

Ah, I've always liked those Battle of Britain class loco's

[PR19_Kit]

Is/was that the old Kitmaster/Airfix/Dapol kit? It looks slightly different somehow............

[Rheged]

Ah, I've always liked those Battle of Britain class loco's

Me too!

No 2 son has one of the Airfix/Dapol kits in his stash, and is contemplating finishing it in either Caledonian BLUE  or David MacBrayne  colours  as an improved Battle of Britain class loco named  "Banff Strike Wing".  If he does go for MacBrayne colours, I have suggested similar  liveried carriages.  His degree finals are in a few months time, so this project might be his "de-stressing*  exercise in  July.

This is a Vultee Valiant in 1/48sc. At present, am working on the wings and intent finishing her as the said Valiant.
Sometime in the future I would like to open the envelope and rebuild her as a 'Val' or 'Kate' from TORA!TORA!

That's my plan, anyhow......
