    Tamiya SAS jeep 1/35

    Wheels on and I started to add all the gubbins . The various bags / water bottles , machine guns have had straps added , made from microporous tape - painted and cut into thin strips . All the crap thats going in the back has been painted up and I made another camo net roll with the bias binding...

    Tamiya SAS jeep 1/35

    Oh bugger , thanks for pointing that out mark . Something like that would be obvious to a regular armour builder ( ie. not me ! :LOL: ) I’ll have to see if I can add some and blend them in , now I’m aware of it , it would bug me to death if I didnt :LOL: cheers tony

    DaveCov's Pyro 1/16 Harley-Davidson Electra-Glide (M-157-125)

    Great rescue with the forks and headlight dave , its looking great now . Personally I would put the panniers on , its that classic electraglide look and the brake levers would definitely benefit from a couple of cables . Cheers tony

    Selling my odds and ends. Facebook marketplace or eBay?

    Vinted is very easy to use and is getting more popular . Ebay is also easier than it used to be and they both have good back up and protections for both the seller and buyer

    Tamiya SAS jeep 1/35

    Started with the jerry cans on the bonnet and front wings , using some aluminium strip from the spares box . This was cut into varying widths and used to make a frame . The jerry cans in the back are held in with a frame which was again made from strips of aluminium superglued together with...

    SHARP.

    I did exactly the same Tim ! Have to agree with you on the blades too . The swann morton blades are cheap enough ( John sells them in the shop £2.49 for a 5 pack or about £17 for 100) and as you say , you could never sharpen a blade as well as they come from the factory ( unless youve made your...

    Papa695s Airfix 1/72 Vickers Wellington Mk.1A/C

    Fantastic idea for a build Ian , its one of those ‘ you couldnt make it up ‘ stories . Amazing bravery by James , even more when you consider he was only just 22 years old at the time . Kit looks superb , bit better than the old Matchbox Wellie I did as a kid ( still loved it though ) . Great...

    Tamiya SAS jeep 1/35

    All chipped and worn now and the underside and wheel arches/ wheels have had a wash with light dirt .I had a sand wash but I tried it and it was way too yellow , the light dirt gives it a nice dusty look . Next up is fastening all the crap on - but a fair bit of scratching is needed here, it...
