Not to panic Wobble,
Went out and placed head inside wheely bin while SWMBO hit the side with a spade, and kept repeating " Uuuuummmmmmm!!!! finish current builds first, then we will talk"
Wibble from the wheely bin....

Not built one since 1980, so thought it was time to get the RFM Tiger out and start working on the idea for a diorama/vignette.
Not much work done so far, more a case of collecting accessories from far and wide - more later once the build gets underway.
And Yes! that is the N&B book on the 'Grille' ......
"He's cracked I tell you - he's gone German - send for the van....."

Oil paints, synthetic brushes for dedicated use with same, low odour thinners, and some CA gel for assembling resin miniatures.

The blame for the oils I lay squarely at Steve Ski 's door! :smiling5:

I think we will see more beautifully painted figures in the future! No pressure!! :tears-of-joy: :tears-of-joy:

Just like buses you wait ages for a IAR 80 /81 then two come at once !
As I’m rather enjoying the 1/48 IAR 80 at the moment , when I saw this at a great price ( 28.25 delivered ) I had to get it . Its a beautiful looking kit complete with Photo etch and resin . Surface detail is superb and levels of detail are excellent . Only thing that looks a bit tricky is navigating the instructions - just lots of exploded diagrams and multiple red arrows . They could learn a thing or two from the latest Airfix instruction style .

Nice collection of oils you have there. Tip - when you remove the cap, squeeze the bottom of the tube so that the paint is just at the opening and use a bit of tissue to soak up the oil before you put the paint on your pallet.

Richard,
Hold fast on that decision, it may be the effect of the health issue that is governing this, Wait a while and see how things go.
At the moment I am in a bit of a funk with Mr PTSD having raised its ugly head, pulling a box out, putting it away etc etc, and all because I glued the rear suspension on backwards and in trying to seperate the parts totally trashed the chassis. So hold on...
