Tim’s 1/72 IBG Inns of Court Daimler armoured car.
Got a bit further … Turret interior done….. Then assembled and nearly finished the turret. Lots more tiny bits with very little locating points. Not for the easily frustrated is this one…. The eagle eyed amongst you will notice the replacement aerial stand on the left…cleaned up the...- Tim Marlow

Latest Acquisitions (2024)
I discovered a new (to me) model shop about eight miles away. It’s called Mann’s Model Moments and is in the high street Wincanton. Well stocked for a relatively small shop, with a few second hand items as well. I have built much British armour over the years, so I came away with this…- Tim Marlow

Tim’s 1/72 IBG Inns of Court Daimler armoured car.
Done a bit more. Chassis completed and awaiting paint…. Tyres Not worried about the ejection mark, that’s the back. Detail is excellent, even has legible markings and sizes on the tyres. The wheels have moulded brake gear on the other side. Parts count is now about a hundred, and I...- Tim Marlow

Tim’s 1/72 IBG Inns of Court Daimler armoured car.
Bit further along…….. Must admit I’m amazed how many parts there are for such a small subject. I’m up to over sixty parts now, and I haven’t used about ten…..the mudguard support struts are in etch, and, along with most of the etch fret, are very lazily designed so I haven’t used them. They...- Tim Marlow

Welcome to Geoff’s D-Day 80th Anniversary tribute chat thread.
Can’t see any gas masks here Dave. They might have carried them, but don’t seem to have worn them…- Tim Marlow

Tim’s 1/72 IBG Inns of Court Daimler armoured car.
Well, I’ve made some progress. I wasn’t going to use the interior….but what the hell. Only sketch painted though because I’m almost certain it will not be seen. Left off the crew seats because I lost one, and because I’ll probably put a crew figure in there and they could get in the way...- Tim Marlow

Tim’s 1/72 IBG Inns of Court Daimler armoured car.
Hi all. Here are the obligatory sprue shots for my build. Actual work probably won’t start until the weekend. Decals will probably be supplemented by those in the same firms SOD kit because that is an IOC vehicle. No other aftermarket will probably be used, but I might scrounge up a crew...- Tim Marlow

Welcome to Geoff’s D-Day 80th Anniversary tribute chat thread.
After yesterday's shenanigans I think we need to put this GB into perspective. It is a tribute build to these guys, not a point scoring or navel gazing competition. Get a grip!- Tim Marlow

CA Glue
That’s close to the one I use Jakko, same container. Once the glue doesn’t come out when you squeeze the wings, pull the bottom off and remove the tube. It will still be about one third full…..- Tim Marlow

What's on the Bench 2024
The SOMUA S35s are done awaiting bases. Totally fictitious markings because I couldn’t find any pictures. 21st Panzer had around forty of these on their books in France, but there are pretty much no record of them being used in combat so I suspect they were used for training only. They’ll...- Tim Marlow

Latest Acquisitions (2024)
Couple of new purchases for me. Little blokes on horses. Took advantage of the 20% off deal on Victrix last weekend……. Got some flags for them as well. These are a little tricky to use, but are superbly printed….. Also just been to the Salisbury show and came back with these…...- Tim Marlow

Interesting 3D printing development
Hi all. Saw these discussed on another forum and thought they might be of interest. They are 3D printed miniatures, not painted ones. They are supplied by this company. https://only-games.co/ Obviously very early days for this technology. They are not cheap, and are currently only aimed...- Tim Marlow

Simple and Small
A lot of uk houses, streets, and things like railway stations (especially in more rural areas) were still gas or oil lit until the fifties Richard. Don’t know about the continent, but can’t see why it would be different. Apparently there are still about 1500 used in London…….all royal parks...- Tim Marlow

Eduards shiny decals.
Definitely decal “silvering”, as it’s called, I’m afraid Watto. It happens when air gets trapped under the decal. If you think about it, a matt paint surface isn’t smooth. It’s comprised of a very rough surface made up of many microscopic peaks and troughs. The air gets trapped in the...- Tim Marlow

What's on the Bench 2024
Just a quick build while I’m waiting for the GP to start….. Took about three sessions. Lovely little kit, and, not knowing much about the subject I’m not overly worried about accuracy. There is another one in the pack that I’ll work through before paint. Should bolster my “elite“ 21st panzer...- Tim Marlow

28mm Oathmark Orc archers from North Star
Well, here are some more from the production line. I still think this is a great little set with lovely animation. I’d recommend it to anyone that wants to dip their toes in the small scale figure pond. Came out well I thought…..so here is the usual calibration shot….and the usual giant...- Tim Marlow
