CSM Bristol Scout
« on: October 04, 2025, 09:31:55 PM »
Not all my builds go according to plan. Remember my Crumpler?
Anyway, this build sat unfinished for months but my inbuilt finisher completer was nagging. In truth I had a terrible time rigging it. I really don?t know why. Cack handedness and non stick CA plus tight spaces and frustration. On my next CSM I will rig as I go rather than as final task. You live and learn?.

Then my usual VMS Matt varnish decided to mimic rime ice all over it by frosting up.

Anyway, mojo is now back with Telford coming up.

Well you got there in the end! It turned out pretty well considering the issues you had along the way. I like the weathering and the CDL effects are handled really well.

Hopefully see this and you at Telford!

Nice. Love your CDL.
Thanks,

Flawless.

I heard that it all started when a bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich 'cause he was hungry!

Kind, but it most certainly isn?t flawless!

The oil staining is just superb. That is a first class model that I would not mind having in my collection!
