My 1/72 scale aircraft

I finally got the grandfather clock painted…so initial assembly has begun…

I installed the movement, and the clock face and side panels. Then I installed the back panel with the chimes. Then I hung the weights and pendulum so I could set up the clock.

Then I adjusted the hammers to be centered on the chimes and started the clock to test everything.
Next I have to hang the door and install all the glass and panels.

All that gold against the dark gray is stunning Dean!

Thanks Jan!

I can’t wait to get the door on and the lower panels, and back panel. Then I will finish by putting all the glass in.

And then you will stop hearing, "Another airplane?!? Are you ever going to get that clock finished?"

And then you will stop hearing, "Another airplane?!? Are you ever going to get that clock finished?"

Actually it was more like this…”If you don’t finish that grandfather clock and get it out of the garage, I’m throwing it out!”
Me…”Noooo…don’t put it on the curb for trash pickup, I am going to finish it as soon as the weather is good enough to paint!”

I spent a couple of hours tonight wrapping up the BT-13 Valiant build. Excited to be flying in one this weekend!
Anyway, the kit had me fighting it the entire build, but it can be a nice model if you’re willing to put in the extra effort.



Next to the T-6 Texan trainer…


Then I put it on the second shelf of my WW2 collection…

Now all five shelves are full…going to need more room for WW2 aircraft soon!

Now I have to finish the clock prior to starting anything else! Admirals orders!

See ya next time…
