I know the console gamers on here will recognise this, after finishing the big 40K marine and liking the Ban Dai method of building I saw this and thought why not

Not got any interest in doing the kit personally, however, it was one of my favourite games way back,(never did get much good at it mind!! ),so I'll look forward to your go at it mate.

Thanks Andy, saw a guy building several of them up for commissions and quite liked them. I’ll probably be better at this than the game

Looks cool Mick, but don't let the Calvary get to him........

No kits, no kits, no kits and I'm sticking to it!!! Got this instead to help out in my next scratchybuild,


Good stuff, even though I have almost all of the W.4 seaplane pics. The 1/48 drawings and the original factory specs diagram was what I was after the most. Let the butchery begin!!!...

As a child of the space race and building a Saturn 5 rocket out of yoghurt tubs etc. when I was 12 I thought I would give these a go. The lunar lander was an Ebay bargain at £17.75 delivered and the space shuttle £7.65 at Hobbycraft after member discount so not too much spent if I fail to make a decent effort of them.

Does anyone know if the supplied paints in Revell and Airfix kits is acrylic based and can be airbrushed after thinning with MLT?

TIA

Those moon landers are quite big. I saw a real one once, and everything together, it’s the height of a house with an upstairs and a pitched roof …

Yes, we saw one at Kennedy Space Centre in Florida and there was also a mock up of the interior of the ascent stage which was really cramped for the crew. The guide there told us that in order to reach the weight constraints the walls of the ascent module were the thickness of 3 pieces of copier paper!!

I picked this book up yesterday. I have a Whippet in the stash so will do some research before building it.

If you need detail photos, let me quickly plug this PDF that I put together about twenty years ago

Had a rather large parcel delivered I can give you a an idea what's inside
The dimensions are 188cm or 6 feet 2 inches long.
A scale of 1/144

Not been around for a while with my dad being ill but been thinking about various different projects.
Picked this up for one of them, stick some masking material down then use the etched shapes to guide your knife for cutting out camo blobs. The reverse has bigger blobs.
Have another one for digital camo on the way.
