Cool, you’re going to be vehicles from my back yard :smiling3:

Does the set include an extra sheet with the name WOLF OF BADENOCH on it, for the Sherman V? I ask because Johan Lexell, the man behind Star Decals, added that for reprints of the 1:35 scale version after I pointed out the omission to him some years ago (and sent me a complimentary copy when I ordered another set of decals entirely from him). BTW, for that Sherman, the registration number that’s only partially legible should only go on the right-hand side, not on both, and probably only if you’re building the model as a wreck rather than when it was actually in use.

I don't think so, but in 1/72 some of the lettering is too small to make out!

The name was on the appliqué armour plates on the hull sides. You can just make it out in the photo I posted, though it’s hard to see because somebody cleaned a paintbrush on the tank

Just got these for my Normandy Bocage dio (yes it's still going).

With my track record of group builds, I'd better not tempt fate..................

Nah it’s just a Group Build not a life or death situation.

What’s not to like - Viking AND a Lotus:thumb2:

Brilliant kit! 1992 Lotus 107, the last F1 car I ever built.

Shame about the unreliable Ford HB V8 otherwise they could have broke into the top four in the WCC

My replacement nozzle for my Ghaaleri GHAD-68 airbrush nozzle just arrived. I had to order it from the manufacturer themselves and it arrived two days later!
Let's hope I don't lose this one also haha!

No, they wouldn’t All of them are markings for vehicles as they appeared five months later, at the other landing that breached the Atlantikwall.

I also ordered a spare needle (just in case) and this is how it arrived just now. (Thanks Royal Mail)

 

[AlanG]

Been looking at this stuff for a few years now. Seen Luke (ex-Geek Gaming youtube channel) use it and thought i'd give it a go on my dios.

Another diorama purchase. Some ivy leaves. I really like this company. Their tree scatter is lovely (as can be seen on my Bocage dio).

OK, Royal Mail had a hand, but poor packing won't help!

My brother dropped by to give me these:



As he recently bought a 3D resin printer, I asked him to print some of Rob Lockie’s M3/M4 idler wheels for me, since the idlers in plastic kits often don’t have the undercut under the rim. “How many do you want?” he asked, so I said six or eight, as I have at least two kits I can use them on already, plus some for future use. No sooner said than done :smiling3:

Rob belongs to the same MAFVA area club I go to, and he has printed out some fantastic items. For example the smoke pot holders for the Merkava, Panther tool racks, ammo boxes and the detail is exceptional. He printed out the ammo transport supports for my pallets...

All round nice bloke....

Contact Gaahleri and send them a photo, they should send you a replacement, I had the same problem - if it will not go through the letterbox then bend to fit....

Chances are I’ll have my brother print out some more of his things in future

What exactly is this Alan? And what does it do? Looks interesting...

It's an acrylic scenic glue. Sort of like pva but it dries really quickly and also dries matt (unlike pva which is gloss). I'm sure it has flow aid in it too. Seen good reviews of it online and if i'm honest, Luke that used to be at Geek Gaming doesn't sell duff stuff.
