    Gern's 1/72 PST PMZ-2 Fire Engine

    Managed to find this: I've found the parts for the pump, but naturally that arm at the botton is broken. I've got the broken bit so I should be able to fix it. Onwards and upwards .....

    Gern's 1/72 PST PMZ-2 Fire Engine

    I mentioned there was some sort of trailer with a hose reel included in the kit. Turns out it's not a separate trailer but attached to the rear of the truck: This kit shows it attached to a normal truck with a double cab, but according to the blurb on the box, the same set up was installed on...

    Gern's P-51 Mustang

    I got a bit of detail painted too: Still not totally accurate, but a little closer.

    PJ's P-51 Mustang

    Some detail painting done: Not accurate, but sometimes it's hard to get PJ to pick up a paint brush. He's much happier fixing bits together with the brush in his Tamiya extra thin!

    PJ's Italeri 1/35 Demag D7 with Flak 38

    PJ got some more done to this when he came round on Monday: You may notice that the front shield attachment points are both missing from those curved arms at the top. They broke off when PJ cut the parts from the sprue. I've suggested he paints the shields and fixes the attachment points to...

    Gern's 1/72 PST PMZ-2 Fire Engine

    Made a little more progress on this. I was originally going to use brass tube for the support posts. I'm not a massive fan of CA so I tried two-part Gorilla epoxy to fix them. I think the attachment points are too small as they fell off when I picked them up after leaving them overnight to...

    It doesn't take long:

    Gern's 1/72 PST PMZ-2 Fire Engine

    There's quite a few guys in this GB doing amazing stuff with research and adaptations/scratching on their kits. Sorry to say, I gotta do all sorts of stuff just to get mine built. I cut that bit of brass rod for the front axle the same length as the plastic bit supplied. You can see it's not...

    PJ's P-51 Mustang

    Both me and PJ started today - and made exactly the same progress:

    Gern's P-51 Mustang

    Little bit of progress: This is a true mini Group Build as PJ has done exactly the same with his kit!

    PJ's P-51 Mustang

    I'm doing PJ's build thread as he doesn't have access to any sort of suitable device. We picked one of the Tamiya versions as they seem fairly simple to build and shouldn't throw up any problems. This is the one: Apologies for the poor pics. The 'shakes' are back.

    Gern's P-51 Mustang

    Finally getting round to starting my build. I've already posted box & sprue shots in the chat thread and I'd guess that every man and his dog has seen one or other of the Tamiya kits so I won't repeat them here. My grandson PJ is also having a go at this GB so I'll be starting another thread...

    Paint racks... what you using ?

    I knocked up these from a strip of MDF about 75mm wide. As you can see, the paints are three/four deep which means finding the colour you want is a PITA. Short of expanding the unit to three/four times its size - I don't have any extra space to do that - there's no way around it though...

    PJ's Italeri 1/35 Demag D7 with Flak 38

    Hi folks. This is PJ's (my grandson) entry to this GB. Apologies but I got a bit carried away with all the excitement and got PJ to paint the tyres before I took pics! Box Sprues Sample instruction pages (doesn't look hugely complicated)

    Gern's 1/72 PST PMZ-2 Fire Engine

    OK. Up and running. Minor progress. Got 90% of the chassis done. You'll notice from the pics that the fire engine part of this truck is supported by a number of struts. Unfortunately, some of these parts are broken or missing. I've already had to supply the prop shaft using some brass...

    I'm back!

    It could've been better. My car went in for it's MOT on the 1st of this month and it failed big time - four new coil springs, rear brake pipes and four new tyres needed! I wasn't going to spend that much on a motor only worth £1500 at best after the repairs. You ever tried finding, funding...

    I'm back!

    Hi guys. Did you miss all my usual inane drivel the last few weeks? Not to worry, now I'm finally back up and running on the 'net, I'll soon catch up!

    Site access

    Hi guys. Just been informed that my Sky broadband won't be set up until 8th August. I lose my existing Virgin services on 1st August so won't be able to keep in touch. I'll be back though.

    Lee's P-51 Mustang GB. The chat thread.

    Found this in the stash: So unless I do summat stoopid - like sell it to clear some space on my stash shelves - I'll have a go at this GB. Hope the box picture is OK. I'm sure Bonnie is only trying to help! PS Bonnie wasn't hiding among the stash. She came in from her regular evening...

    Cleaning masking fluid from paint brushes.

    Back again folks! I want to use some Vallejo masking fluid for fairly large areas. I assume I can use an ordinary paint brush to apply it, but how on Earth do I clean my brushes afterwards?
