    Si B’s BM-8-24 Self-Propelled Rocket Launcher. Miniart 1/35

    Better late then never….managed to unpack the contents 😳 Quite a few of the same sprue’s and noticed there are two upper decks (2nd pic) The multiple sprue’s are for tracks, wheels and rockets…

    The runner beans are still flowing and we’ve had yet another round of runner beans!! Easily half a kilo picked over the last 10 days and fingers crossed if the rest continues to develop probably the same again 👍

    Si B’s Vespid 1/72 British cruiser tank A-34 Comet Mk 1A

    After letting everything dry for a few days, I finally got some bench time and began weathering this morning. Used a few enamel products to give it a pin wash and some filters. The commander was painted up, I think he’ll pass 🤔 I think it needs some stowage of some sort and some...

    We had a lovely day weather wise and I was lucky enough that I had enough free time to get in the garden for a tidy up. I’m amazed that so many plants are still active this late into the year and I’m still picking fruit. Another hand full of Cherry toms and more still ripening. Getting a good...

    Si B’s BM-8-24 Self-Propelled Rocket Launcher. Miniart 1/35

    The kit arrived this afternoon via Amazon. Popped it open for sprue shots and now I remember why it’s not a good idea to unpack this lot before you’re ready to tackle it! So here’s how a bundle of sprues still in one box shaped bag look 🤣 I have a small kit on the build at the mo so it’ll...

    Si B’s Vespid 1/72 British cruiser tank A-34 Comet Mk 1A

    In between cooking a roast dinner for the family I managed to get the markings on and flick the hairy stick over some of the details, wheels and track. Once it’s all dry I’ll get the weathering started and I’ll do the BTR 4E while I’ve got the weathering stuff out…. Thanks for looking 👍

    Si B’s BM-8-24 Self-Propelled Rocket Launcher. Miniart 1/35

    This will be my entry for Lee’s Rocket/missile GB. It will be a few day before I start as I only just ordered it. This wasn’t my first choice but I didn’t fancy another truck build and this was £23 from Amazon! I’ve built the Miniart T60 before and thoroughly enjoyed it…. Hope I can do...

    Si B’s Vespid 1/72 British cruiser tank A-34 Comet Mk 1A

    I picked up some 3D printed figures without actually seeing them and it turns out they are pretty good for 1:72. They are from Peddinhaus and have some good detail including the straps on the binoculars, pockets on the trousers….fingers! Work on the Comet continued and the majority of...

    Si B’s Vespid 1/72 British cruiser tank A-34 Comet Mk 1A

    Good to have you along Scottie :thumb2: It is very nicely detailed considering the scale. I’ve built Vespid kit before and was so impressed I brought a few more. This is a Panther Ausf G…..I think:thinking: Always a seat reserved at the front for you John, next to the fire extinguisher...

    Si B’s Vespid 1/72 British cruiser tank A-34 Comet Mk 1A

    Last weekend I sat and cut out/cleaned up the main parts. I thought it was only the Germans that like a lot of wheels :surprised: Glued wheels and sprockets on last night. Added D shackles and telphone/first aid box. The smoke dischargers where moulded on and have PE parts to...

    Si B’s Vespid 1/72 British cruiser tank A-34 Comet Mk 1A

    Tidying up the stash the other week and came across this lovely looking little Comet and thought I had to get this built! I don’t remember buying it and was actually looking for a 1/72 Centurion. Found a couple of other Vespid kits in the attic I’d forgotten about that got my interest …looks...

    ICM 1:350 WWII German Multi-Purpose Boat KFK Kriegsfischkutter

    A Father’s Day present from my daughter, this great little ship has been really enjoyable. The first ship I’ve ever done and first seascape too. I’ll will admit that the idea of using a mackerel tin wasn’t mine.
