Spots on the Internet (2022)

Don't laugh...........just over the hill from where my previous house....was this.....[ATTACH=CONFIG]n1168895[/ATTACH]

Are those the Moomins houses I spy under the bridge...

Another one bites the dust............I just found out that my favorite Hobby shop in the World has closed its doors and My friend Cliff and his wife Pam are retiring.......when I was living in the S.F. Bay area I used to haunt the place on a regular basis........they had all the good stuff, no waiting, no ordering just bring your list and some loose cash and you went home a happy camper every time. When I moved to MT. I did mail order with them because I knew I could always get it there first. I heard someone on the forum mention "Art Deco" Check out this architecture.........[ATTACH=CONFIG]n1168877[/ATTACH]

We have and art deco house near me, it was featured on a tv programme a few years ago, and every time I pass it, I think how much different and interesting it looks to the usual drab every one has one houses of today.

So will the price tag!

That Jagdpanther gets my interest

[Gern]

Is it just me or does the perspective on that F4U picture look seriously weird?

[Mini Me]

Not you Dave.......

I think they’ve forgotten to crank the right wing Dave….

Seriously weird .... perspective problem I'd say!

That Topol is going to be massive................

The missile is 22.7 metres long, so in 1:35 that would be about 65 cm. The container it’s in (and therefore the TEL vehicle) would then be a little longer still …

Don't know if it has been reported earlier...
RFM released the Leopard 2A6M CAN with bar armour.
(All pics from RFM and for discusion only)



An early version - to get the later version first you add the 'Barracuda' camoflague and then for the later version you add the short bar armour... But still looks a great kit.
As an aside if you are going to build it, construct a short length of track first along with a dry run of the drive sprocket to make sure they actually fit the drive sprocket.
I had to add a 1mm shim between the sprocket on my build to take the MENG Leopard track - a ten minute job.

For those of you with very deep pockets, and a large display area:
Facebook & Website of HpH - their Dornier Do-X in 1/48 scale! I have the Revell 1/144 model & that's big enough!

Essentially crowdfunding - waiting for 20 orders before starting production. Multimedia construction, fibreglass etc
Anybody interested????
