Papa 695's Walrus contraption

[papa 695]

Got some more done to this one. Got all the wing supports built and any gaps filled, that goes with the wings as well. Also fitted the tail section and fitted some spare wings from a Sopwith Camel I did some time ago, and fitted the wheel struts.

I'm really enjoying myself with this build.

Loving this Ian ! Im dying to see what the round thing on the top turns out to be . A great build and exactly the sort of thing I imagined we would see - total lunacy!! cheers tony

 

[Polux]

Cool!!!
Starts to see really interesting Ian

 

[papa 695]

Got some more done to this one, I don't think it will be too much longer before the primer gets put on. I need to sort out the wheelwells on the underside of the lower wings. And I'm also on the lookout for two important things for the pigeon catching device.

 

[Jens Andrée]

Wow!!!
Fantastic job!!!

 

[Polux]

What a hell is that???

 

[papa 695]

Well I've got this one primed now and also painted the underside.

 

[Jens Andrée]

Looking great Ian!!!

I'm a bit behind you guys in this GB but I'm making my Panther first... Plenty of time left though

Thanks Jens, and yes you've got the rest of the year to do yours.

 

[Polux]

Nice work Ian!!

I don’t know exactly when I will start mine....need some inspiration before!!

Looks good Ian,

 

[papa 695]

Moved on a little with this one. Also started to make the Pigeon catcher.

 

[Jens Andrée]

Ian - I just love your idea for pigeon catcher!!!
The only negative thing I have to say about it is that it wasn't me who thought of it...

This is a GB where you really have to dig deep and come up with something unique and true to the show - and I really like it!!! (as long as I get all the medals... hehe...)

[papa 695]

And this is a rough idea of what it looks like with them on. Still plenty to do.

Cheers Tony. I got mine from a charity shop for a couple of quid.

 

[flyjoe180]

Fantastic! Love that last photo, coming at ya, worthy of medals already

 

[papa 695]

Just like Tony I'm nearing the end with his one, just the figures to do and some fine tuning.

 

[Jens Andrée]

Ian, I must say your pigeon-catching-hand-contraption looks fantastic!!!
Like I said - I only wish I came up with that idea...

 

[papa 695]

Got the wheels on, and started on the figures. I'm going for Dastardly and Zilly.
