I have a pair of those glasses Chris. I thought I'd give them a go as they were cheap. I didn't expect much but they are very good for the price.

Chris I read that too quickly and thought you were answering Rick , and your N*t's were working fine :surprised::cool::smiling3:
TAXI please .
 
Postie dropped off a package with some goodies yesterday. I know what you're all thinking, but the no kit rule is still in effect...Even if I do have 4 more kits selling on evilbay this week...

The CSM figs were on clearance @40% off and the Evergreen stuff is for the "Wild Hair Up My Butt" project later on this year......

Don’t worry, I’ve not turned into a ship modeller ;) I do, however, own some kits of LCA landing craft, and looking for good information on how to paint them, I found these books second-hand. Probably only the small one is sufficient, really, but I decided to buy the others too purely out of interest. The two issues of FSM (December 1997 and February 1998) were thrown in for free, I discovered when I opened the package.
 
Two great books from Spencer Pollard.A 2 volume tribute to the diorama works of Francois Verlinden.He uses all the old kits and techniques that Francois used.It goes to prove seeing these books its often not the kits but what the builder does with them.

Well … I can tell immediately from the picture on the cover of Part Two that it wasn’t a Verlinden original … The equipment on the turret has straps that go over stuff instead of the items just hanging somewhere with nothing to attach to, defying gravity ;)

Though it’s something I’ve been thinking of doing myself too: a Verlinden-style diorama, but with modern kits. If only I had the room to put one.

I’ve just read the small book, and I must admit the camouflage patterns are interesting :) 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 :)

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. ;)
