Commando car in forest Fuel dump Diorama - 1/35th scale - Completed
Just playing around with editing software, thought it might be ok to make a short video on how I made one of my diorama's, (eg: this one!) with a pictorial sequence of the build. I know we have threads showing the build, etc, but they can be fragmented, so the vid is just one short sequence with...- pjgtech

Advice needed re: window frames
Google AI seems to think that most scale model kits are made from ABS polystyrene, not HIPS polystyrene. It says: The vast majority of plastic scale model kits are made from High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS), not ABS. HIPS is the industry standard for injection-molded kits because it is easy to...- pjgtech

British Universal Carrier Mk2 - Tamiya 1:35
Main wheels now on, made sure to get a good bond, and will leave them for a good 24 hrs, as we have the horrid rubber stretchy tracks to fit, so may have to stretch them over the wheels, so could easily come loose or worse come off!- pjgtech

I am thinking of a very small dio for when the GB Spit is done, maybe parked up on a bit of grass/runway, etc with a few little figures beavering away, ground crew, etc. So I bought this to go with the Spit...- pjgtech
