I have the Tamiya album, that I took that photo from. I also have a couple of the Verlinden Way books, but if this diorama appeared in an issue of those, then it’s not in the ones I own. But I recognise the figures next to the tank as the Flak crew in winter uniforms that Tamiya released.

I originally owned the original Tamiya special" The selected diorama works of Francois Verlinden",I had it aged 13 in 1982 and it was tattered by my constant thumbing.My modelling bible indeed.

I'm sure you'll do a sterling job Rich.:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

We will see dear boy.Want it to be a homage to Mr.V with the figures etc.

I remember '82 - would have preferred it to have been 'the Summer of '69' though! Mind you, at this age going back to age 13 and trying again would be fun!

Just arrived from China - wooden decks for my 1/700 Fujimi Hosho ( Japanese aircraft carrier ) and Revell Titanic


At under two weeks and the pair of them for £19 delivered, that's pretty good going!

Had the chance to drop in to the Aviation Megastore near Amsterdam airport today and came away with these. The Widget and Piasecki weren’t on the shopping list but the resin Phantom set was.

Hi Bob
I bought one of those Seam Tools a few years ago at Telford and find it useful in all sorts of situations.

Thanks Jim, was not expensive!

Read a lot about these so got a set for £30 with free p an p

Not inc slippers lol, will sell for cash lol

Always used Tamiya cutters but often cut to close and damaged the part, especially Trumpeter plastic or miles away!

Very impressed, used today on the smaller parts of Tashkent and it cuts very close, no part took off, no stress on the part and almost no sanding and just a gentle squeeze to cut. Great packaging. Good investment!

Nice one Bob. Keep us informed……I’ve been tempted several times by these…..

[outrunner]

I bought a pair of those a while back and in my opinion they are worth their weight in gold, makes snipping tiny parts of the sprue a piece of cake with nothing flying off to feed the carpet monster.

Thats what i found Andy, not one small part took off, quick swipe with sanding stick done, well worth buying
