Latest Acquisitions (2023)

[Mini Me]

Yes space is my problem living in a flat Havent even room to do airbrushing.Will settle for doing dioramas for 72nd and find some storage cases if i did 1.35th ones.Still like Mr.Vs stuff tho even with gravity defying bags etc hehe.

Small is Beautiful......why not try something in 1-87 scale Richard. Plenty of opportunities to scratch build and kitbash, as well as do a complete diorama on an 8X10 picture frame.

Not as beautiful as 1/72 though.....

I’ve just read the small book, and I must admit the camouflage patterns are interesting :smiling3: Chances are I will actually have some use for it, as some indefinite point in the future will probably see me build some ships used in my area in 1944, landing craft as well as Warspite, Roberts and/or Erebus … Also still holding out hopes of sometime building a fully-loaded LCT(4) in either 1:76 or 1:35 :smiling3:

SEE Jakko you will come over to the dark side yore alredy finding the ship camo instrestin wont be long before you build a floaty thing like them landin craft s an J/R will be spittin bullets lol :rolling: :thumb2::smiling2::smiling2:as anouther guy took away from them muddy things lol

Gosh i think my old eyes would be goggled trying to do 1.87.I struggle with 1.72nd and need Optivisor constantly.Who manufactures stuff in this titchy scale?.

Many makers, as it is HO scale in many countries Richard, and was a popular war gaming scale.

Well Richard there is ROCO, Trident, WSW, Arsenal M, Kniga Modelle, Hauler, Preiser, ADP Artmaster, SDV, Artitec, Alsa Cast, CMK, Wespe, Z+Z and others that don't come to mind presently. If you are already using a magnifier it's just a matter of getting used to something about 10 percent smaller than 1-76 scale. Piece 'o cake. :nerd:

Thanks for the info guys.Ive heard of Roco,Preiser,Hauler.You never know i might dip me toes into this scale.Always game for something new.

I stand corrected Rick.

HeliOps to Ukraine

The SK's are being replaced by AW139's. No flying from the site right now as the runway is under some sort of repair. As I'm driving past I can't get to close a look!!!

I’m confused now!!! As I type, a HeliOps Sea King has flown over my place, (twice) . Coasting out at Portland Bill then flying down the East side of the Island to return to the field!!!!!
