1/35 Rooikat AFV (Trumpeter)
Well, the fiddly suspension has gone in and it's ready for wheels. (much later) Here are some images of more suspension assembly work. Rear suspension fitted. Full suspension fitted I started on the front and rear hull armour plates. The pinned shackles on the sprue sheet leave a lot to be...- Snowman

1/35 Rooikat AFV (Trumpeter)
Hi ya! Started on the Rooikat, as expected it is not as diminutive as the “Noddy Car”, here are some images of the hull, and main hull components. Started the suspension, what a mission for a wheeled vehicle. You'd expect this level of complexity with a tracked vehicle.:dizzy: This is...- Snowman

1/35 Rooikat AFV (Trumpeter)
Hi all, it's been a while since I last built any 1/35 modern armour in my late teen and early twenties. To re-engage with the subject I thought it would be great to build modern AFV's from the SADF (South African Defence Force) when they had AFV and troop carriers featuring some of the most...- Snowman

WW2 German Fast Attack Craft, S-100 Class (Revell 1:72)
As promised, the build made it to Telford and took its place on our small table. I decided the Schnellboot deserved a display case, so I purchased the biggest one Trumpeter had to offer. To my surprise this turned out to be quite a tight fit. Anyways, she is now proudly sitting in her new...- Snowman

WW2 German Fast Attack Craft, S-100 Class (Revell 1:72)
Hi ya all! I haven't updated since the last charge for Telford 2022. I did manage to complete the model to a point, enough so that I could put it on the clubs table. Here are the build images leading up to Telford. Thanks for watching, I'll follow up with an update for the...- Snowman

1/24 R8 Samba "Sleepah"
A small update on the Samba, I finally entered into the competition at Telford 2022. To my amazement I managed to get a Silver. So happy with the result, as the competition was stiff.- Snowman

WW2 German Fast Attack Craft, S-100 Class (Revell 1:72)
I have been procrastinating with the rails as they are numerous and fiddly. Finally manage to filt them and the boat is edging towards completion. Still the bridge, guns, ropes and flag to do and a spot of weathering. Till next time, thanks for watching.:thumb2:- Snowman

WW2 German Fast Attack Craft, S-100 Class (Revell 1:72)
Hi ya all! Still recovering from a chest infection, so not too much happening with the Schnellboot, but I did tinker with the liferafts after seeing aftermarket versions which I am strictly trying to avoid. So I decided to invest in some scale rope of various dia’s. This is my little extra...- Snowman

WW2 German Fast Attack Craft, S-100 Class (Revell 1:72)
Hi ya all! Just a small update, its a mission to paint all these bits and pieces. Anyway, the deck is getting busy as I populate it with funnels, lockers, cleats and the like. Once everything is mounted except for the guns, and bridge, I'll start weathering lightly. Thanks for looking, till...- Snowman

WW2 German Fast Attack Craft, S-100 Class (Revell 1:72)
Hi ya all! I have mated the the decks with the hull and she is now starting to look good. Fitted the props and torpedo launchers and some other bits. As per usual little bits snap off and some running repairs will be required, but its not the end of the world. Thanks for watching, till...- Snowman

WW2 German Fast Attack Craft, S-100 Class (Revell 1:72)
Well, it turns out there is a sliding hatch for the opening…oops. Managed to put down some more paint today. Next I need to paint the props, then mount them and the main rudder. Afterwhich I will seal with a gloss coat. Just need to decide if I’m going to use MrMetal brass or Vallejo’s...- Snowman

WW2 German Fast Attack Craft, S-100 Class (Revell 1:72)
Its been a while and I have been diligently tinkering away in the back ground. Laid down some colour and started the bridge. I did notice an oddity with a large cut out in the upper deck but only a recess in the rear bulkhead. Is there a door of sorts here or can I cut it out? Some research...- Snowman

WW2 German Fast Attack Craft, S-100 Class (Revell 1:72)
Well, I have been tinkering some, yes there is flash, but hey, this is probably quite an old kit anyhow, so why complain. Initially, I started small with the stand and some bits, then I had a swing at the hull. Boy, even though this is braille scale, this pretty big for a darn torpedo boat...- Snowman

WW2 German Fast Attack Craft, S-100 Class (Revell 1:72)
Ahoy there nautical buffs, this is my first nautical venture since my mid-teens. All that time ago, I built the Bismarck and Graff Spee, so this will be new and fun. I intend to do this as an out of the box build (famous last words) as I have a terrible tendency to get too excited and purchase...- Snowman

Ducati 1199 Panigale S (Tamiya)
Wow, what a ride! I have finally completed the Ducati, it is now mounted and boxed in a manner of speaking. The final touch is something I haven't done before and looking back I can kick myself for not doing it. Here are a bunch of all round images taken before mounting and boxing the...- Snowman

Ducati 1199 Panigale S - Tamiya 1/12
Well, the build is moving along, actually quite complex for a motorcycle, but starting to look good. Here you get to see the layers going on. So much is hidden it beggars the question, why hide it, but again compared to the old 900SS and company, this is a whole different beast. This...- Snowman

Ducati 1199 Panigale S - Tamiya 1/12
Onwards at last with my build, after much procrastinating, sweating and swearing, I had to call it quits on attempting the PE chain that was in the after market kit. In the end I used the the original plastic part using Alclad steel & polished aluminium. Much better. The chain was stopping the...- Snowman

I’m back… in the famous words of Slim Shady! Well, I have laboriously dragged along with the painting and have cooked up something I like to call, “Ducati in a bowl” with a bit of an Asian twist. Couldn’t decide if I was using chop sticks or fork, so I decide to just start assembling it...- Snowman

Ducati 1199 Panigale S - Tamiya 1/12
It's been a while and I have finally assembled the disc brakes! A slow process along with having my compressor having issues of its own which required a new pressure regulator. Here are the assembled beauties! This quite an improvement over the molded parts. Till next time! :thumb2:- Snowman
