The Romsey Modeller - Romsey Modellers

The young Angel was then glued to her seat and some seat belts added from thin lead foil held in place with
Gator’s Grip acrylic adhesive. I couldn’t believe these were actually finished in deep pink – it so clashes with
the colour of the seat cushions. Small pieces of fine plastic rod were attached to the shoulders of her flight suit
and painted in white and gold. Here collar and cuffs were finished in gold with brown oil paint as shading.
Now the time came to assemble the pilot and instrument coaming into place. The agony was not over for the
pilot, as I temporarily had to lop off her arm and fix in place later. Still, she did not complain and took it all in
her stride – very stoic these Angels.
The instrument decal supplied in the kit was used on the coaming.
A few final touches were made and I am now ready to attach the canopy.

If anybody was inspired by Barry Sharman’s Flower class corvette here is an opportunity:
Hi Tony,
I was given your address by Phil Butler. I’m looking for someone to undertake a commission and he
said you had more ship modellers in your group than he had in his. I’ve promised a friend of mine that
I would arrange for a model that he started many years ago to be completed. It’s the Matchbox 1/72
Scale Flower Class Corvette, plastic with a brass fittings kit.
The model is largely completed but not to a good standard. I’m looking for someone that can finish it
off to high standard.
If you have any members that can help I’d appreciate you putting me in touch. I live in Chichester but
I’m happy to drive over to your part of the world.
Regards,
Adrian
