Bolting a plane together for our Models for Heroes Christmas Special (yes, another charity auction)

#Christmas #CharityAuction #ModelsForHeroes
Today at Badgerworks, we're pleased to present our Christmas Special, a charity auction in aid of ‪@ModelsforHeroes‬, a charity near and dear to my heart, who do stirling work supplying models and supplies to veterans charities, first responders and the like.
Katie came along for moral support, and I figured that, as many spend Christmas alone, I'd leave the video pretty much real time, so if you are alone (or just want a break from the family), you can join Katie and me for a little distraction. The details for the auction are below, please feel free to throw a bit into the hat for a worthy cause. The auction will run until New Year's Day.
A Merry Christmas or Winter Festival or whatever else you choose to do with the festive period, and I'll see you all next year.

sounds like Katie has the whole animation thing about half sussed. she's got the STOP nailed, now she just has to figure out the MOTION

[@SteamGeezerUK]

We'll get it figured out at some point 🙂

[@ianthomson9363]

A good job on an awkward kit with lousy instructions under difficult circumstances (Hello Katie!). I nearly bought one of these for myself but decided it wasn't like any 'fighter plane' I've ever seen and it was a lot to spend on a nice tin. I was holding my breath for Katie's stop-motion video, but after I turned blue I gave up. Right, I'm off to make a tablescape! Merry Christmas to all at Badgerworks!

[@SteamGeezerUK]

Thanks buddy. Hopefully we'll be seeing you again soon 🙂

I received the same kit. Had to watch and build along with you because the instructions are a bit poor lol. Have a great Christmas.

[@SteamGeezerUK]

Then it was all worthwhile. Same to you 🙂
