    I remember that have one or two old models....and here they are! Mmmm...When I built them I was about fourteen, and now I’m forty one... As you can see they are at 1/72 scale, built with the most stunning and amazing accurate skills.

    Ok! Let’s go!! "Disassembling Pink Panther”

    Painted with brush and enamels (humbrol), plastic putty...? why!! It looks ok, it's only a little .....bunker

    The “weathering” was made with...alert!! I took a match and I use of the smoke!!!! Of course then happen things like this!!!

    Errr... don’t remember I was so lazy then....ops:

      They look better than my stuff now

      Great stuff, love the match and flame weathering, damage technique.

      I once found an all black 1/72 ME 109, made when I was around 12 years or so...it was just glue and black paint lol.

                      They don't look too bad, the smoke effect from the matches was good initiative if not a little dodgy :P Still have my first builds somewhere, a Revell Macchi Saetta I built with Dad when I was about 7 and a Hurricane I built by myself about the same time. Have to see if I can dig them out.

                                          Thank you very much guys

                                          I should create my own brand and modelling business...can you imagine?

                                          German grey matches or...matches with light rust effect!!!

                                          I have to talk with John for the international distribution
