    Latest Acquisitions (2022)

    Just in from Hannants. The mask set is for a stalled build and the decals because I liked the Sea King markings. I wanted to do the 1/24 Hellcat as a winter project but I’ve had to delay starting again, installing underfloor insulation in the living room jumped the build queue.

    Sources of inspiration (or just a lame excuse to buy another kit)

    Quite often I get inspired to add a new project to my ever growing dream sheet for building stuff (AKA the stash). This week the inspiration fairy fired two ideas at me. My job has me travelling extensively and often see something that pricks my curiosity and gets me searching Scalemates for a...

    My meagre Telford haul. The MRP paint is for my 1/24 Hellcat winter project. I’ve never used it before so I’m interested to see if the hype lives up to the results.

    Hotel stays.

    Snap! Currently holed up in a Heathrow hotel sniffing glue instead of getting bevvied. And previously - https://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/detachment-workbench.26413/

    Latest Acquisitions (2022)

    Just arrived for my winter projects. I’ve never used masks for aircraft markings before so a new skill to learn. A friend has asked me to build a Lightning for her classroom, the school’s classes have aircraft names and I’ve done a few already. If I’d known the paint masks for the Flagon were...

    My heatwave work bench

    I moved my work bench to the garden patio this afternoon. Football on the radio, shady spot on the patio - just beware the lawn monster. Very hot here on Merseyside.

    Latest Acquisitions (2022)

    After completing a 1/48 tank from Tamiya recently, and being really impressed with it, I bought this as a follow up.

    Rick’s 1/48 Tamiya Panzer IV Ausf.J

    I just finished this. Great little kit. Out of the box with plasticard shurzen per the instructions. The only thing to beware of is when fitting the turret armour - fit the curved section first then the side panels. AK paint and Mig pigments for the weathering.

    Rick’s Tamiya 1/350 HMS Prince of Wales

    Lots of the structure fitted now. The box insert makes a handy cradle for handling and assembly.
