The House that Kev Built!

Hi All,   Well I've done something new to me. I was asked by a work colleague if I could make a model of her Dads house as a Christmas Present for him.   She supplied me with some pictures and a basic floor plan and I got to work. I made it to 1/50th scale as the drawings I had were in metric so it made an easy conversion. I had to use some judgement as to heights, but I think it is quite near. The building was made more complex by it standing on an incline so I had to factor that into the build. I made the building from mainly card stock and a balsa frame reinforcement. I learnt how to cut balso quite accurately and squarely....................consistantly believe it or not. The roof tiles I printed onto card, and then cut out and stuck them on level by level, again a new venture.   Windows were blacked out from behind including the bay ones! ,and decal strip used to make frames, a long a tiresome task but in the end they look okay. the conservatory is a mix of plastic card, clear plastic sheet, and a balsa floor with a printed tile floor (I was getting cocky now!)   I sent my friend the pictures and she is very happy with the result, and I have learnt some valuable skills in building making, that I shall be posing my next model with some building or form of construction with it to 'set the scene'.   Hope you like the pictures.   Bigkev

Airbus A321 'Virgin Sun'

Hi All, Here is my latest airliner I have completed. It is an Airbus A321 in 'Virgin Sun' Livery. Kitis by Revell, with engines borrowed from another Revell kit of the Airbus A319, to make this paticular version. The Decals are from Liveries Unlimited and very comprehensive in detail and printing, highly recommended!!. Currently on with an Boeing 737-800 srs in Kulula Airlines colours (see club forum) though this has been 'shelved' whilst a build a replica house for a friend as a christmas present for her Dad. Hope you like the pictures of the A321. Bigkev

Additional Pictures of Model Show

Hi All,   Unable to get these onto the website with other pictures in one download. Most of these are of the aftermath and clear up, not too interesting for the others, but of interest to the lads of the club. After this we went off to Weatherspoons for a sherbet or two!!   However, please note we have a picture of one of our more senior members who seems a little confused as to which type of modelling we do!   Bigkev
