The Captain's Cabin- March on….

Just messing around with the aModel C-123 kit. Drilling out the slots to attach the wings.

And an idea of the Chinook. Pretty much a copy of that USAAF test bird, but will have CDN markings, of course

A pic from last week ( I think ? ) when I was starting a few more choppers. Have gotten a lot further than this now

That's a nice workload!

The second and third Chinooks are stalled. Missing the cockpit and floor of one....no idea where it went !

Looks like I started a Twotter on the weekend. Silly me. I had wanted to do one for my Army build, and then I was sitting up watching Ice Pilots on Saturday night, next thing I know I'm digging out my old Williams Bros. C-46 and an Italeri Dakota to compare sizes....unbeknownst to me there was a Twin Otter in the Williams box ! Oh what to do ? Snip snip glue glue.....

So now I'm led to believe that I might as well do the trio, and add the Beaver and Otter, but I think they are both floaters sand landing gear. And I don't feel like adding to my misery by trying to scratch that up.

And if I do those two I might as well do a Caribou as well. Right ? And then stop there. Before it's too late

Naah, you KNOW you want to do a Buffalo to complete the set.

And you can get a 1/72 scale Buffalo from Combat Models (I've got one in the stash)

Someday I'd love a 72nd scale Buffalo !

Held off putting all my 'toys' away last night. Partly because I was away most of the evening at a Junior C game, partly because the daughter had her BF over and I didn't and to be intrusive, and partly because I still want to get away with an hour or two of getting a few bits sorted before piling it all away.

I know what happens when I move the kits off the 'bench' for extended periods.....they become part of the Half Built Hall of Shame !

I think we all have claim to spaces there, Captain!

PR19_Kit · December 24, 2014, 09:05:19 AM

In my case it's more like a HANGAR of Shame!

Captain Canada · December 24, 2014, 08:33:16 PM

LOL...always good to know we're not alone

In other news, my stuff is still out. Got sick this afternoon and in between napping and getting ready for Christmas, I couldn't be arsed to clean it up. On the bright side, I should be able to sneak in a few wee sessions tomorrow.

Captain Canada · December 27, 2014, 07:39:36 AM

Got everything packed away, albeit rather haphazardly. Started digging bits out last night just to fondle.....and so it begins

CDN Army Beaver and Otter are out. Not sure if I mentioned this previously, but both are strictly floatplanes, missing the needed bits to make the land-based variants. I can't be arsed right now to cobble those bits together. I'd like to wrap some stuff up and get back to some 'proper' whifs I have planned, and not just alternate paint and markings.

Cheers !
