Hi Tony. Fish Face looks to be about 1/8. It's actually the creature from the film The Shape of Water (thanks Paul};

The Mail Man dropped these of earlier this week. I might build the 6 pounder to be either hauled or towed by the Bedford for the Simon GB

The Italeri plastic seems very shiny :smiling5:

 

[Andy the Sheep]

A 1/35 nice figure directly from the artist (whose lab made my mouth watering... :tongue-out; he lives and works just 10 km from my home, so go and fetch it was the easiest solution.
It will be a pleasant diversion while waiting the glue to set during next builds.

Model Victoria … I didn’t know that was still around

 

[Guest]

Nothing as exciting as most, but required.


Had a quick look through the book, or or two items of interest.

 

[Neil Merryweather]

No stopping me now.....

I should get Denis into rubber tomorrow(ooh Matron!) with any luck

 

[Guest]

There was a magazine years ago called Rubber, think this is the wrong forum come to think of it !

 

[BattleshipBob]

Heard all there chqs bounched

 

[Lee Drennen]

Postman dropped theses off today. I’ve been in a old British Airfix mood lately and Soviet Tanks and wanting to build 1/72. I guess figured I better try build these before my Arthritis gets even worse.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Interesting box tops on those Airfix kits Lee. The illustrations are different to the UK ones so I looked them up on scalemates. Are they really the early sixties versions, or are they new, but in retro packaging? if they are original they are probably quite collectible.

 

[Guest]

Aren’t they 1:76 instead of 1:72, though, despite what it says on the box?

Indeed

So these are for my entry to Simon's memorial GB.

Great service from the Polish supplier. Ordered Monday afternoon, dispatched the same day and arrived today.

These are my first workable tracks, so who knows how they will turn out.

I wanted the RB Models barrels as they're about half the price and as good IMHO but the MG34 wasn't available anywhere, not even their website.
