Adventures in resin 3D printing
Interesting, will deffo follow the progress. Looks like a nice setup. Being a bit of an IT nerdy geek myself, and an ex CAD user, I have often looked at getting a 3D printer, but the tech seems to move on so fast and I can't really justify one as I don't really need one, but, then again that's...- pjgtech

Revell Aqua, not impressed!
Yep, have to agree, I have a few of these, bought early on when I got back into the hobby, the container design is rubbish. I'll slowly use up the few I have, but I doubt I'll buy anymore either....- pjgtech

Bulldozer Komatsu G40, 1:48. Tamiya
Lots of little details in the kit and although some quite small parts, everything fits really well together... Initially I made up the seat like this (see pic below), but quickly realised the seat is the wrong way round, Doh! Easily rectified, but a simple schoolboy error! Lol! Seat now the...- pjgtech

Bulldozer Komatsu G40, 1:48. Tamiya
While I wait for my latest Tiger to dry, started up another little kit. A Tamiya Komatsu G40 WWII Bulldozer, in 1:48 scale. What a lovely little kit it is too... Not many parts, so will not take long to build...- pjgtech

Rubber tracks - How do you get the appropriate "Track Slack"?
Now that I've done a few more tanks, etc with rubber tracks, I tend to use small blocks or wedges, usually made up up from lolly sticks stuck together to give me the height I need, which are then placed between the upper tank soffit plate / underside of the tank body and the track itself. See...- pjgtech

Italeri Tiger I Ausf. E Tank - 1:35
Few more bits done this morning.... Tracks are now on...always a squeaky bum time for me. But with my now standard method, eg: CA them well beforehand, make sure all wheel are really well attached and allowed for fully cure overnight, and gently pre stretch the rubber tracks as much as possible...- pjgtech

Italeri Tiger I Ausf. E Tank - 1:35
This bit did not look right? Had another shufty at the instructions and there should be a thin strip that covers this section, placed when the main turret body, gun, mantlet, etc is assembled. So I must have missed it.... Could not for the life of me see it on the sprue..... but after looking...- pjgtech

Italeri Tiger I Ausf. E Tank - 1:35
Last few bits done today.... Filled all the gaps earlier today... And the wheels are now all on. Then after a few hours, sanded down any rough bits, not many and painted it back up again... Rear engine coved installed and rear bulkhead bits attached, exhaust, baffles, etc and given a rust...- pjgtech

I cant paint very good
As above, I only brush paint and am not very good with figures, but I'll have a go. Did a couple of 1:12 figures, first one was a bit ropy, the second one was ok. Done quite a few 1:35 figures now and although my shaky, sausage fingered, hands can't do really fine detail, they turn out ok (ish)...- pjgtech

Italeri Tiger I Ausf. E Tank - 1:35
Bringing things pretty much up to date now.... Added more detail to the turret interior, painted the seats, the accessories, etc. Attached the main gun and breech and action to the turret, and joined the two sides of the turret. Hmm, the extra layer of the armoured texture onto the turret...- pjgtech

Italeri Tiger I Ausf. E Tank - 1:35
Then we moved on to some more assembly and then some initial priming, (using Citadel Chaos Black) of the main chassis/body, gun and turret. Engine compartment made up and attached to the underside of the main body deck. Main gun barrel now attached to the breach/action. Painted up a lot of the...- pjgtech

Italeri Tiger I Ausf. E Tank - 1:35
I started this one a few days ago, so have already made some progress... Main lower chassis / body complete, seems a good fit. Front wheels on. Suspension arms on. Textured armour covers applied to the turret sides. Its quite "bendy" so needed clamping. There was a slight warp to one...- pjgtech
