Latest Acquisitions (2022)
Hi all So I'm blaming Jim directly for one of the below and indirectly for the other one too!!! ;) :smiling5: As advertised, Lidl are selling the below ultrasonic cleaner for £20. The basket does look quite small but I think I might be able to make it work, if not I'll just take it back... -

Latest Acquisitions (2022)
Ok, so I am blaming Tim Marlow and John race for these two purchases! The papier mache, at Tim's suggestion, is for the bases for my 1/72 figures. The idea is that you mix it with a bit of paint and PVA glue, and sand if you want added texture, thus saving you having to paint the base coat of... -

Andrew's resurrected 1/72 Armourfast Farmhouse....
Good morning all.....again.... So having achieved such a good effect with the tiles, I'm going to experiment with the house walls. When I first came back to the hobby my first online modelling friend was a man called Sean (aka vindicareassassin) - a couple of you will remember him from another...- adt70hk

Andrew's resurrected 1/72 Armourfast Farmhouse....
So onto the mini-eureka moment.....I'm still not sure what order the thoughts came to me and what made me think about the farmhouse but I think it went something like this..... It occurred to me that terracotta roofs were almost certainly not a nice uniform colour except when first laid...- adt70hk

Andrew's resurrected 1/72 Armourfast Farmhouse....
Evening all So I picked this out of a box it's been in for five years. The build was originally started on 11th Jan 2016....... Like all Armourfast kits it's aimed at wargamers. Construction was pretty simples and it definitely has the look of the old Matchbox two-tone plastic! You'll see...- adt70hk

Junior's 1/72 PSC Valentine Bridge Layer
Good evening all So with Junior's Cromwells on the paint stand, we needed something else to build at model club on Monday night and as he won't build anything German, I went for this as something a bit different and to test him a bit. For those not in the know, like I was when I started on...- adt70hk

Junior's 3x 1/72 PSC Cromwells
Thanks Tim...... I've still not worked out a better way of holding a vehicle so I can paint it in one go. I normally use something like the stand below with a little bit of blue tack on the end, which is pushed through the turret mounting hole to stick to the base of the hull but in this case...- adt70hk

Junior's 3x 1/72 PSC Cromwells
Hi all So I started to lay down the SCC15 mid-week. I'm not fussy about being accurate but there is an SCC 15 mix made up of Vallejo Model Colour at a 1:1 ratio of 70.924 Russian Uniform and 70.888 Olive Grey that Mike Starmer came up with.....his Humbrol and Tamiya mixes were far too...- adt70hk

Fenland and Spalding model show
John Thanks very much for sharing. It looks like you all had a great time and especially good to see some of the members in person too. On one point I am 99.999999% certain that the person half out of shot in the below picture you took is a member at the little club I belong to, although I...- adt70hk

Andrew's Tankfest 2021
Hi all So following on from Dale's collection, time for my contribution to the forum's Tankfest submissions. Unlike Dale we could only spend one day but had a great day all the same - arrived at 10 and left at 6. There were a couple of minor disappointments - no Matilda in the arena as it had... -
Andrew's visit to the Army Flying Museum @ Middle Wallop
Good evening all As some of you may recall, Junior I visited the Army Air Museum on Saturday afternoon ahead of our visit to TANKEEST 2021 on Sunday, as it was on the route to our hotel in Salisbury. I've not been before and so decided to stop in at the suggestion of a colleague. For those...- adt70hk
