first attempt at photo bucket have to tidy my desk

Offset control surfaces & everything! I’ve seen (and built) far worse SKEATA. Is the camouflage based on a real sample?

Me too as far as building worse goes. Don’t sweat it. Think of it this way. Youre getting experience. You might outta be careful hangin around a place like this. You might find yourself getting better at this. Looks like a 1/144 scale bird. Those are tough to begin with

Thanks VanceCrozier The original colour was a olive brown and I had no show of mixing/buying that

so head down into a bit of research and came across some thing like this i doubt if it is any where near the photo I saw , If it is the ground crew where on the booze that day

Hey SKEATA, Me Like. Nice start. By the way, tidying ones bench is onerrated. Taking the time to keep an organized bench only cuts into time better spent building.

When I worked at an office job, I was told that a clean desk is the sign of an empty mind. [;)]

Panic chaos disorder.

these words best describe my work area.

If you “tidy up” you will never find ANYTHING again.

My first model ( a 1956 ford Victoria by AMT ) was so messed up I actually added colored binder re-enforcement rings to it in an effort to hide the “mauled” paint job !

It wound up looking like " FRUIT LOOPS " was the corporate sponsor !!!
