What Lies Beneath

Those of you who arrived here via eBay may do so having seen what looks like a few casually listed models. Indeed, we like to promote a relaxed but professional look as our public image. What lies beneath is actually a little different - certainly professional, but not so relaxed. Here's why:

Project One: This is the Super Mystere from Fonderie Miniatures. As you can see it's in the early stages of construction, but showing promise.


Project Two: This is the Tamiya P-51D with the Aires cockpit, gun/ammo tray and wheel well. It's been a long job getting it together -the wings were reluctant to join in - but worth it so far.



Project Three: Believe it or not this is the LA-5FN by Zvesda. A tricky kit to build, but when complete, it'll really look the part.


Project Four: Hasegawa's 'Pete'. It may look like a mess, but what a little gem.


Project Five: I've left this one till last because of its size. The Revell Fletcher Class destroyer has literally taken over half of my work room. Photographic and historical references are vital to this build. Every part fitted must look properly at home. Books and magazines cover every surface - in every room....


This is just a quick glimpse of the work currently under way. I'll be coming back to them individually later.

Can I stop now? I haven't sat down all day!
