Guinness....albeit in a Smithwicks glass...

Illegal to serve it like that in Belgium.  Or so i've been told.

Must admit that's one of the things that impressed me whilst in Ypres. The hotel bar had 12 beers, each of which had its own specific glass, and each glass was washed and dried in front of you before the beer was poured

I used to have glasses for every beer. No idea where half of them have gotten to....probably drunk buddies putting them in their wives handbags as if they were at the pub 

There is a small brewery in Chambly, QC, called Unibroue and at most stores offer glasses for each beer, to enhance the experience. They are too much money so I pass, but I might get some next time

Now, some Fulmar progress for you perusal :

This will be my radar pod, to be mounted up under the radiator scoop. I just dug thru the spares box until I found bits to emulate the Firefly setup.

It looks a bit like a Firefly part Capt

Oh I'm having a real battle with that POS site Photobucket. I edit and save my photos on the laptop, then when I save them to PB, they are changed. If I edit them on PB ( other than taking a coon's age ) they come out different again ! Maddening I tells ya......

The rocket bombs. Went overall grey and the tip will be green, just to keep Kit happy  

[Captain Canada]

It does, but I'm not sure. I think it might be from a Matchbox Helldiver ?

Added some bits to the cockpit, and painted most of the inside frame interior green

[Captain Canada]

The Photobucket crapshoot continues ! Looks like I'm 1 out of 3 so far....let's see what's next !

I added the bomb mounts from the Greif kit. I was going to go with a simple pylon, but thought it looked to modern. I like the 'clunky' look of these ones.



Now, I seem to have misplaced the JATO bottles from the Trump Wyvern kit, which were going to be a part of this. And I also need to source out some landing gear for deck clearance.

Went overall grey and the tip will be green, just to keep Kit happy  

I'm suitably impressed. 

It's looking better and better, nice work there Cap'n. 

[Captain Canada]

Thank you sir ! I'm liking the way it looks. Dropped the idea of invasion stripes, I just think it will be too much with the bombs etc.

Do you find that the Molsons' give a nice soft edge to any camo pattern ? 


I recommend anyone viewing my models to drink at least 5 pints of Timothy Taylors  

[Captain Canada]

I find the Molson's does help...but often times it shortens my night considerably 

[Dork the kit slayer]

Night?  night???  thats the bit between your last beer and your breakfast one...right??

[Captain Canada]

When I'm on my days off ? Pretty much !

[NARSES2]

Coming on well Capt 

And yes that radar pod is probably from a Helldiver now I think about it

[Captain Canada]

Thanks Chris. I'm at that stage now where I'm excited about it....ie: the finish line is in sight. I was test fitting where the bombs are going to be located, and didn't really like the look of them. Oh well, to late to turn back now eh ?! If it weren't for ongoing/neverending basement renos, I'd be sat down there now, with the tele on, fondling plastic.....
