Zenrat's Flying Circus

[PR19_Kit]

They were good, but not as good as the Hemi Darts and 'cudas (of which more later as I have a pair of Revell Hemi Darts in the stash).

It was difficult to beat a Hemi-powered anything on the strip back then, but that's the rubs.

That looks really good, specially in white. Was that an RW team colour scheme?

Beautiful indeed!

Makes the '66 Mustang I built for my daughter look positively pedestrian, in comparisson.

That's not so pedestrian, it looks terrific. And Fred's Mussie was built as a racer anyway, your daughter's is a street machine.

Thanks folks.

That looks fab Womby.  Interior stripes is a nice touch.

...Was that an RW team colour scheme?

Yes.  They are the kit decals and I presume Revell did their homework.  All the pics i've seen from the '68 season show white with signwritten sponsors names etc (some have Cobra Jet in red, some blue) so I assume Ford rolled out all 50 in White.

Finished the decals on the Typhoon today - stencils and the yellow stripes along the leading edges.  I gave up on the stripes as they didn't want to conform at all.
I also started a second colour on the Hun but had to stop and go in and cook Mrs z's tea.

Here's where I am with the F-100.  One coat of each colour.

Wirraway is almost done, just needing an aeriel, aerial wire and the tiny sticky out bits on the wings.

With the swirls from the single coat the F.100 looks slightly psychedelic.

[Old Wombat]

Funky!

Uncle duty precluded me from escaping to the shed this weekend but I did bring the Hun up to the house and put a second coat of the lightest green on while The Boy was playing computer games (the beauty of odour free acrylic paints).
I also drew up and printed some decals I needed for the 109, Cyber Formula car and Kraz trailer.

Something I wish I could do but I don't have any half-decent software nor a half-decent printer, if I did.

I find it very satisfying now I've got the right hard and software to do it. And very handy for us Whiff modellers of course.

I manage to do everything I need to do with Micro$oft Powerpoint.  Printer needs to be OK though.

Work has reared it's ugly head and for 2 weeks i'm doing split shifts.  3 3/4 hours at a post office 30 minutes South, 5 hours to do my own thing (shopping, cleaning, cooking, model building etc) and then 2 1/2 hours at a post office 30 minutes North.  This means more limited modelling time.  However, I need the money.
In terms of builds this means I will be concentrating on the stuff for the GB.

Public Holiday today.
After fixing my 1:1 car I spent the rest of the day (bar a short Babylon 5 break at lunchtime) in the shed.
Other than decaling the Sciffy GB builds I finished the second colour in the camo on The Hun and did some work scratching up some front suspension on a car build.

[zenrat]

Hun camo is complete.
Here's a look at her tummy.

Aww, cute! *Kootchy-kootchy-scratchy*

CHOMP!!

Aiee! No-one warned me the Hun was Feral!* Where've those fingers gone?




*Did you forget the 14-18 & 39-45 lessons, then?!
