DeHavilland Chipmunk - day 4

Not much progress to report today.
I've completed the horizontal stabilizer, which turned out great, despite some confusion in its construction!
I was about to improvise a solution when I had thought I lost a part.
(Honestly my solution was probably more structurally rigid than the actual kit's part!)

Small update. (Convair XFY-1)

Please excuse the very dirty cutting board, my main work surface is being taken up by a 1/72 Vickers Wellington, which I will be sharing soon (hopefully.)
I'm on a roll with models lately, here's just one more recent bit of progress!
Lindberg sucks at making models, but it's better to practice with them than on a $60 Trumpeter kit.
I got the model for $5 in the consignment section of my hobby store, good to practice on.
My main issue currently is actually weather related. I use spray cans to prime surfaces, and it's currently 14F (-10C) outside.
This one will have to wait a while until it gets properly painted.
For now it's just being assembled partially, then stored until it warms up.

It will likely be this way for a few more models, but progress is happening!
Have a wonderful day!

I can't stress enoguh how bad Lindberg can be at models Even their new stuff has some of the worst quality plastic I've dealt with. Their moulds have so much flash, and super thick sprue attachments, you practically need to mill them down to look half decent.

Antitank barriers

I borrowed my buddy's Leman Russ tank to build some antitank barriers! Of course this is only a sneak peek at the project, I still need to paint and base them. The mini in front of the tank is a russian infantry soldier from the Napoleonic era. You can see the rest of them in the background.

WIP: My WAAAGH-WAGEN

Only two pieces of this whole kit are from a 40k box.
The rest are spare parts from various tanks and planes.
See if you can name any pieces you see, and find the two actual 40k parts!

DeHavilland Chipmunk - day 3

Finishing up the right wing.
The pins work great for stopping horizontal movement, but I had to figure out a way to stop the vertical movement.
Crossing them over each other works great!
You can see this on the leading and trailing spars.
I was originally worried about the wings, that there would be some warping, but after doing it, it ended up easier than the fuselage.
