Spread your wings...


One reason I can't give all my attention to the model scenics is that, like everyone else, I gotta eat!

These are my current occupations.  1/32nd scale master patterns for a DH89 Dragon Rapide, the lovely old biplane airliner that got the country airborne.
It's for a high end kit by a French company, new to large scale model aircraft kits.

Then there is this:-
A brass windscreen frame to be cast in white metal for a limited edition Thelma and Louise Ford T-Bird!

And finally this:-

An Invicta S-type low chassis.  
All those louvres along the side valance, both sides, are separate pieces of 20 thou. plastic rod, which, when set, are filed to a louvre shape.  The chassis is still under way, but the seats and levers were done today, next, the windscreen frame and headlights in brass.

So, I can only press on with the railway scenery stuff in the gaps between these, though there will be some more pics tomorrow of the Lantern Yard base.
