Well here you are Martyn. Here is a taster.

Here are all three "live" Vulcans (taxi-able or flying) in one place. XL426 has had a visit from the Wagon Sqn. XM655 will have a visit from SES next year. And XH558 will hopefully be still flying. But I have them all in one place. Oh, and XL321 in white livery was sadly broken up in 1983. So it's a ghost!

I have made all the buildings and now need to lay out the grass in a different fashion to make a dispersal pan (awaiting the turf specialist). Then plan final positioning of the buildings (awaiting Council planning dept). The vehicles will need repainting in airforce grey once I've got a few more (awaiting the auctioneer and vehicle paint specialist).

Of course, I am using the services of Wagon Squadron's finest, F Off Krud Simpleton, to ensure authenticity!!

Julia does enjoy the deafening sound of four Olympus engines as I fly XL321 round the bedroom of an evening.


And here is next week's project. This one is 1:72 scale so will need another set of buildings and vehicles. Already got a nissen hut and fire tender - so it's somewhere for the fire crew to keep out of the weather, and the fire tender is in case the adhesive catches fire. I am quite mad!

Please note the Vulcan appeal

I can actually believe you do it! :lol::whistle:

Keith
Thats quality, looks like a real labour of love.:10:

I will be looking for a sniper to add to your set up.

looks good mate, i used to be into model planes a while ago just the wwII planes mainly, all sitting up in the loft now gathering dust

looking good, into model railways myself.:ninja: What scale are the ones in the top pic?

I'll second that :lol:

Sammi. This is 1:144 (N guage) for which it is more difficult to get vehicles and buildings.

Don't get me started on railways! Toot toot! Need a room for scalextric, another for aircraft, another for a train layout, and another for the rest of my hobbies.....................................good job I am still 12 years old.

Some scalextric scenes. Note the Subaru theme!

N gauge should not be hard,plenty of kits around.:nod:
You need to try Z, Zm and T gauge for vehicles etc. Z=1:220, Zm is narrow gauge Z ( Swiss RHB ), T gauge= 1:450 (Japanese prototype).:geek:
I have built etched brass kits and Nickel Silver in Z and have some for T when I have new glasses,eye test on Sunday.:?:?
