Well Done so far, Bob: great work! I'm following this thread in detail as I have a Triplane in the cache and it's to be finished as a Collishaw aircraft. Please continue, Your Honor!
Cheers!

Hello All,
 Not much to report other than the ManCave is near completion.
I have been far to busy fulfilling orders to do much modelling, but I'm hoping now that the all new craft room is up and running I will be able to steal some hours during the evenings.

Thanks for all the kind comments.
Cheers,
Bob Von B
 :) ;)

Great setup, Bob. Lots of room for expansion: paint, pigment, glue (several kinds, of course), tweezers, scalpels, craft knives, masking tape (several kinds, of course), clamps, razor saws, magnifying glass, hemostats, sprue cutters, files, reamers, coffee maker, radio, small TV...umm...did I mention Paint??  ???

Looks great, and I'm sure that it will increase your skill level at least 20%. Enjoy greatly!  8)
Cheers!
Gary

Thanks guys!

Terri,
Paint rack is a homemade affair. Made and installed by a couple of good friends of mine.

Let the plastic tickling begin!

Lovely Bob  :D

Where’d you get those buckley things from?  :)

Ps what’s the latest on the tubes? Have you got a new supply?

Hello Guy,
 I have not been able to track down 0.5mm Griffon brass tube for over a year now. I can only imagine that line of micro tube has been discontinued.

 :o

We live in hope!
Cheers,
 Buckly Bob

von Buckle Builder,
   You are probably well ahead of me however just in case you aren't aware of this source .........

Sprue Brothers in the USA is where I source my brass and aluminum tube etc. (Albion Alloys):

Hi Lance,
 Thanks for this.
I'm fine with Albion Alloys here in the UK, but it would be nice if Griffon got off their butts and started reproducing their 0.5mm tube.
Dream the dream   ;)
