Featured Painting By Numbers

I was going to joke and say ‘can you tell what it is yet?’ but actually that’s really well done. I love badgers.

 

I thought they were skunks

 

Another good way to kill boredom! There was quite a few here building airfix and various other models which I though was good too... never seen any finished ones yet

 

Messerschmitt bf 109

 

LOL!

 

I bought a Spitfire and then thought it might be spiffing to build a "timeline" of Hawker fighters. Bought a Typhoon and Sea Fury, trying to decide which Hurricane to do, got paints, the whole nine yards, then got busy with work, l'm pleased to say. The time will come....

 

Joking apart, possibly one of the best sounding aircraft ever built. Used to see the City of Lincoln flight quite often. Never failed to stir the heart.

And, to go with the Lancaster, sing along.....

 

I got through 3 whole books today cover to cover ......and that’s a lot of colouring!

Quite clearly Collies despite the comments above, but why the lava flow?

 

Hotdogs?

 

The annoying thing was the parts didn’t fit together. No end of filing and tweaking made them assemble properly.

On that model you can see how the front gunner canopy looks like it is almost falling off.

Sorry too that my plane didn’t have a more culturally diverse aircrew to reflect etc today’s agendas. I think the tail gunner went to a comprehensive but unfortunately the others had been to Eton, Winchester and Marlborough. Thankfully the Germans weren’t in the slightest bit bothered when trying to shoot them down.

 

Brilliant idea Dougie

 

A good old gmu photo would be nice if the first ever line up ?

 

I have been buying my kits from https://canvasbynumbers.com/ been loving them.

 

I’ve been getting into painting as a way to relax too! Recently tried one of those Paint by Numbers Birds kits, surprisingly detailed and a fun way to switch off for a while. Definitely recommend giving it a go if you're looking for something low-pressure but creative.
