Monthly round up and Dottie update. December 2024

[@philjolly6965]

I am really looking forward to the next episode of your 1/72 Airfix Dambuster. Cheers Phil

I am a fairly new member, and am really enjoying your builds, being both a 917 and Lanc devotee. A couple of comments I hope you will find useful: Kermit has the entire Lanc at his Orlampa field, with both the original nose and the postwar SAR radar version. Having stood under the 1/1 scale a/c many times, the entire bomb bay was filled with a giant black rubber bladder for the extended range needed for searches and photo mapping flights of Canadas' north. The SAR band was EXACTLY Humbrol orange and roundel blue, while the spinners, etc, were Arctic Red, and the lower portions of the fuselage, etc the equivalent of light a/c grey. I still can hear the unmatched sound of four Merlins snapping and popping their way down final after a 14 hour mapping mission at RCAF Winnipeg in the 50's! Cheers!!, and keep up the good work.

Thanks.. but i do believe Peter Jackson still has the turrets?

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Lovely Dottie! Spritely! Nice update great stuff. Cheers

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@davidpowell6098]

What a gorgeous little dog, she looks a right character, and will bring you years of joy. I am pleased you got another dog as there's nothing worse than losing a beloved pet. All the best to you both, Nigel.

[@tronmcconnell4465]

Nigel, Dottie is one really adorable addition to the channel - I just love her to bits!

Dottie is a beauty! Many regards from Mark and Fix, the smooth Collie!

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Woof!!

[@ZinzanModelling]

Dear Nigel, I am pleased to see that Dotty has quickly become a part of the family! I recall that our JRT used to bite the corner of the balustrade stanchions, but now only opens parcels that arrive. Like you, we have to be rather careful!! Glad to see things growing so well for you. Kindest regards, Z

[@darrylmasters5032]

great update...lol Dottie updates are really good...I'm a cat person myself lost my Ginger Tom last month...be a while before me and better half decide on what to do pet wise. Looking forward to the Pocher Porshe update I'm just at the distributer cables myself and thought bit flimsy..

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Sorry to hear that

[@alexmoore2831]

God shes a cutie. Keep up the good work Nige you'll never please everyone.

[@tommytaylor4458]

Great to see the new pup!!👍 keeping them coming!!!

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Thanks! Will do!

[@robertthornton1171]

I used a Badger 155 Anthem Siphon feed for many years. I would line up the different colors in the jars with a thinner in a bigger jar, all ready to go. Paint the first color, drop out the paint pop in the thinner for a quick clean out a quick spray, or 2, then pop in the next color. That worked well for me. I picked up a second 155, so that even made color change quicker.

[@mauricemoeneclaey2979]

Always a pleasure to see little Dottie, she's gorgeous...🐕

[@NigelsModellingBench]

She sure is!!

[@Evilc-dq3kf]

She’s a treasure Nigel.

[@TheEdmond30]

Just finished watching Jamies Spitfire build and Now for some Nige.... brilliant

[@darrencarwardine3230]

Great round up Nige.... Great to see Dottie settling in she a beauty.... Just had another delivery from Brooks arrive😖.... Maybe put some more of the newbie Lancaster up on Sunday if you have any videos made up?.... Continue with the great work on the channel 💪💪

[@philjolly6965]

... and three cheers to Dottie!

[@AlisonFort]

Dottie is just adorable❤

[@NigelsModellingBench]

I knew you'd be along Alison!!

[@andrewjones1649]

Dottie is a gorgeous little girl. Wire haired FT's are a great favourite of mine, but I have three Sealyhams already, so we're full. Give her a cuddle from me, please. If anyone doesn't like dogs, they can soon go elsewhere.

[@Yves95128]

Hi Nigel, Dottie is so cute. That's too bad that you are losing interest for the Stuka, perhaps it'll come back. I totally agree with you about Red fox studio and La Quinta, it's beautiful but it's cheating, what if they make a beautiful perfectly weathered engine, then a perfect complete cockpit... About the Porsche Pocher, to be honest I didn't like the ignition wires, they look funny on the distributor going up like that, too thick and seem translucent toy-like on video, I'm glad you changing them. Good continuation and thanks for your great videos👋🏻

[@carlbethard6714]

Pls Don't stop the Lancaster build

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Dont worry, I wont, unless Hachette stop sending the parts..

[@richardweiner6815]

She’s adorable.

[@robertthornton1171]

Puppy is teething 😁

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Yeah, using my hand as a chew toy too..

[@markshellard5894]

She’s gorgeous mate ☺️

[@hacheyp]

Puppies, God luv ‘em…

[@brenstratters2026]

Battle damage Nigel?. Dottie certainly is a cuttie. 😁

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Battle damage yeah, but nothing like the damage Taiho really experienced.

[@PhotoFlight]

That's a kit you can sink your teeth into. BTW, ordered the Gaahleri Swallowtail airbrush off their site during Black Friday using "NMB". Just checked and the 30% off discount price is still up.

[@johnhughes2653]

Dottie probably chews the chair leg because it's cold.

[@Damien-q8t]

Part works are cool but expensive.....put it this way....i have a parts work Millennium Falcon which has 100 weekly magazines in the series.....i got the full set which took just shy of 2 years to complete and each issues cost me €10.99 so the model cost me over €1,000.00.......and no, i still havent built it as i dont have the space.
