Hi Everyone, I hope you're all well, staying safe, and not being too affected by the current situation. I'm so glad to have modelling as a hobby at the moment. On Facebook I am a member of the Model Factory Hiro build group, and one of my fellow members posts fantastic photos of his WIP with a 1/12 pallet, and a reconstruction of the disitinctive boxes MFH kits come in. I wanted to do something similar, and went trawling the doll's house pages. (1/12 is apparently a popular scale.) I bought a wooden workbench kit, and a photo-etched brass toolbox and tools. I had the idea to paint the box as if it belonged to a 787B enthusiast. Here are the first shots with it, showing the front cooling assembly, and the brake disc rotors. (I have enhanced these with silvers of plastic with the ventilation grooves cut in on my plotter cutter as MFH provide them as flat discs. This may be accurate for the original spec but I'm building from a reference book of the 2011 restoration, and sticking to that for consistency.) Thanks for looking in, Gareth

You are truly an artist Gareth.
One week I went blinder just thinking about a 1/144 scale aircraft, never mind building one!
Now you are furnishing a garage for your latest model hot car.
Do carry on sir.

Thanks for the comments. It is wood working bench yes, but it's really only to add some interest to my WIP photos. (I did find a metal working vise online but it was getting on for £30!)

Hi kids, The 787 build is ongoing - a very long term project. Here's a couple of shots of the finished wing. I will never build a model in flourescent colours again!

This particular paint covers very poorly. It's also very 'hot' chemically. If you get it on too wet it reactivates the layers below, right down to the primer! It chips easily and is impossible to tough up. I've had to learn how to spray all over again just for this colour.

And a Stella no less...I know wrong beer, was thinking something British then jumped to Asahi, but another amazing touch.
Will pop over to your site soon and check the progress out.

You're very kind Ajay but I've run out of talent at this point and am beating it in to submission. Top fun though!
