Gary,
   Hopefully  your temp. absence will give me a little time to nearly catch up. In the interim enjoy the Contract Build, don't work too hard on the events you've got coming, and on the Great Canadian F2b Build  I will be here, probably still in "lag" profile, when you return.
Cheers,
Lance

Happy New Year to you as Well TP:

Good luck to you on your exercises and the contract build.  I can't do the contract builds.  I tried it and found it to be a dreadful experience.  More power to you and good luck with it.

Thanks, Mark. This one is not too bad, except that the instructions are overly detailed and yet not terribly clear. You really have to pay attention, as I have learned to my sorrow on more than one occasion during this build. Here's where it stands now:



Canadian Staghound, Holland, 1945, Bronco 1/35th kit.

Should be done by no later than end-month. At least, that's my goal!

Hello Gary:

It is fun to see what else others build to keep things fresh.  Looks like you are making good progress and you should be able to achieve your goal.

That Staghound is brilliant, Gary.  You've obviously been at this AFV bussiness quite a while.

Nice work Gary! I'm particularly drawn to your wheels and rolled tarp. Your weathering effect there is very effective. Looking forward to seeing more.

Cheers,

Chris

Gary, Gary, Gary..........................you just keep sneaking those wingless wonders in! Seriously, your skills really shine through on this one. Don't know a thing about AFV's other then "target!" however, at the few Shows I've attended, I am always in total awe of the spectacular realism you Guys achieve, nicely done.
Cheers,
Lance ;)

Aw, shucks, guys, t'weren't nothin'!  ::)

Thanks very much for your kind remarks, gentlemen. I usually build aircraft and armour, but occasionally a subject or kit pops up that just grabs my attention: an American Civil War cannon, an RCN corvette, a Triceratops (really!) and the Japanese submarine that shelled Vancouver Island in 1942 are examples of my "Wingless Wonders." All part of this most enjoyable hobby that I've had for quite a while now. Thanks again! :D

Well, guys...I'm back. Got the Stag done a day or so ago, and the Biff is now back on the table. Here's the result on the Stag:

   

So I'm declaring victory on this one and slithering back to the Biff. That said, I leave a week Thursday for four days on exercise: not so perfect timing! Plus which, I have a persistent tiny seam to fill on the rear fuselage, so that'll cut into my time a bit more. But ya gotta luv dis hobby! Good luck to all other GB builders!  ;D

An exceptionally well done Staghound Gary. The best I've seen to date what with that realistic, subdued weathering effect you've achieved.

That seam down the spine of the Bristol Fighter gave me fits too. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one.

Cheers,

Chris

Excellent work on the Staghound. Have you considered a figure to show how big that machine really is?
