BAe Pegasus Air base in 1/72 ( New pictures 08/11 )

[McColm]

Glad to be of service, now that I know what can be done acheived in a limited space. I too can use this idea to display some of my creations. Still going to need a second pasting table to lay the track in an oval shape with sidings and storage. Using some spare timber shelves added underneath so I can store my stash and firm up the legs of the table.

I look forward to the pics  got a few of the electris done but i've ran out of solder now and i can't get anymore. Took a few pics of the work thats been done so i'll let the pics do the talking.

Is that an F-19A Ghost Rider of Red Storm Rising fame?

[Project D]

Certainly is  courtesy of my new elderly supplier along with a 1/48 version which i intend to make into a twin seat side by side bomber at some stage.

Great pics,
That B-2 looks right even if it isn't the same scale as the others.

I wasn't sure at first but then after a bit of reading i thought why not use it as tr-3b from area 51 and now its grown on me and i plan to spray it matte black and put it in usaf markings but with a twist  got  jaguar t2 that i may let some one build up for the base as i'm struggling adter  weekend of building 5 cctv cameras to go on the buildings around the base.

Wow.  This is freaking way cool.

[Project D]

Thanks everyone  I had an idea this morning while i was building the briefing room, would it be possible to take this to shows when it is fully completed? thought it would be a bit of a change at a model show from the same cloth covered tables and encourage a few more looks.

[McColm]

Perhaps some carrying handles screwed to the sides and some trim around three sides to stop small fingers from pinching your models when on display.

[Project D]

I'll have to look into making it suitable for shows in the future. I've built a 60cm x 30cm extension of the east end of the base but i can't think of anything to build it up as.

[McColm]

Now lets see;
Fuel depot
extra hangers
carparking
shops
taxi way
canal
Branch Station (could lay a straight piece of track down with a tunnel mouth)
Hard stands
jet wash stand
crash vehicles

Protests by peacenicks. 

[Project D]

I like the sound of protestors, bit more like a British area 51  Think i'll go with a high hill top over looking the base at the far end with a few civvies with tents set up and a small pen for jet washing and doing engine tests and maybe a wapons store too

You need a bunch of spotters in anoraks. The type who claim that you're operating reverse-engineered UFOs from the base.
And a black helicopter to chase them away.

[Project D]

Finished painting my anoraks up for spotting on the hill, i used some of the airfix desert rat troops so i've got a few walking about, a guy with binoculars and another with a metal detector seatching for engine parts in the hillside which i'll write a story for later  just got to build a helicopter up now to chase them away but i'm not sure if a gazzelle or lynx would suit the role. Also got hold of a vulcan now so i just need to find a B-1 forward fuselarge and a 1/48 ef111 tail and some modern landing gear now if anyone know where i'd be able to find the parts as i don't really want to buy 2 or 3 extra kits just for a couple of parts to build up my stealth vulcan.
