:-) There's been some speculation that I have a production line, manned by Fluvians, building models. To some degree this is true. I have been down to the production line and these are a few of the models lining up to be delivered next. This list is not complete and dosen't include models being built for current group builds. As you will see some of them are almost complete, these are the ones that, essentially are causing me the most grief. Usually little things that when I sit down to do them I decide another day would be a better time. The desert Spit is the only model I have ever dropped and I dropped it twice, first time just as I finished the camo I'm just putting the thumb nails up here, if you want to see em bigger just visit my link :-)
I'm interested to know if there is any particular one that takes your fancy? :-)

Fluvians are being flogged as we speak but there events afoot that might slow things down.

I'd like to see that Stuka get finished. I have a thing for desert leopard camouflage.

Now you admit it, Mate! Looking all very fine, my winged friend. Great line up you got there!!!!
I have to say your work inspired me a lot, now I got myself a mini-production line going on as well, those Fluvians, they are good workers, ain't eat that much neither. And can be eaten.
And Ms. Arwen is of her usual helpful in all aspects as well.
Good stuff, mate!

:-) Scott these are just what are actually on the bench, I could give you a million reasons (excuses) why they aren't finished. Everyone of them was started with the intention of completing it before moving on. For example, along with the Buccaneer I have a Tornado and Jaguar started. Some of these have been on the go for years, the P40 is the Mauve kit which I got and started, when it first came out. I'm just trying to sort out the open vac-form canopy, and have been for months, and with a couple of more details, she's done. :-)
:-) Nic I to would like to see this Stuka finished, the internal canopy framing has caused me to put this aside again for years. It will get done, this month though :-)
:-) Dave This place, as I've mentioned before, inspired me to get on and finish a whole bunch of models. I just know now that when I start a model I can/will finish it. Before coming on here I would never have given myself a deadline, yet I have had 6 models entered in group builds, 2 of which are complete. It is true that I'm out of work which gives me plenty of time, but I don't model 24/7, I just seem able to get stuck in. I'm also not seeing the difficult things, those things that in the past have caused me to start another model, as a problem, I'm just sorting them. And I'm loving it. I'm even considering (considering mind ) even doing an armour model (oops back to the dark side) :-)

You and Dave must have twins or something somebody else building for you all. But that Fulvian mind trick might be the key!!!
Special one is Stuka dive bomber or the one with the cannon pods always thought that plane was cool looking !!!
Of cause that Me-262 is that what that first jet the Germans had was. Was kind of neat imagine if they had them in 1942 WOW now the Crap hit the fan

:-) Nice story behind the 262 and the Mistel S2 (1 on second row).
A mate who owns a model shop in Worksop (unfurtunately just a little shop not a super store Hannants type, but pretty cool cos I get discounts on Revell and Tamiya, and now He's getting Trumpeter), builds armour models for a guy who can no longer model. He's in his late 30s and has bad reumatism in his hands. Anyway, I was talking to him one day and said that I had jacked armour modelling in favour for aircraft. To cut a long story short I gave him my last finished armour models and he gave me some aircraft kits, 2 of them were the Me 262 A-1a/U4 with the 50 mm cannon and the Mistel S2 both Dragon kits and the Mistel was worth £50.00 back then. Cool
Incedently my mate, with the shop, was showing me some Trumpeter armour kits the other day looked very good. He had the Challenger I think an SH70? it was a self propelled gun anyway :-)
