    Gecko amphibious LARC-V

    Losing all those pictures must have been incredibly frustrating Jim, I send a backup of mine to cloud storage just in case something similar happens. The tiny pic situation is very frustrating too. I know John has worked hard to fix it but I'm not sure if it ever can be fully returned to...

    Andy's 1/35 Tamiya Gama Goat

    Thanks Jim, I bet that incident put you in the bad books 😁 Where would I be without you pointing me in the right direction? The box simply says 250 gal tank, so I wrongly assumed fuel. Thanks. I'll say it was an old unit they had lying around...

    Peter's British ATMP - Gecko - 1/35 scale - Completed

    That's come out really well.

    Thanks Jim! I wish I could capture a fraction of the realism you do Thank you. Not a subject I would have chosen myself but I enjoyed building it, even if I left a lot of the PE in the box 😂

    Andy's 1/35 Tamiya Gama Goat

    I've made alterations to the steering and the build phase is pretty much finished, apart from the driver. As I often do, I've added some weight in the form of aquarium "lead" strip to give it a more realistic feel in the hand: I've also gone for the screen-less option this time. On the real...

    Thank you mate, very much appreciated. Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

    Gecko amphibious LARC-V

    Thanks again Paul. I think I'll be calling this done now. I've been scratching my head where to go with the weathering (not my strong point), so maybe it's time to let it be. Unfortunately the dinghy won't fit in the rear but that may pop up somewhere else later. Thanks for looking in, and...

    Toyota Celica 1977......Aoshima 1/24

    That's one of the very few flip colours I actually like. Most are just too gaudy for my taste. Legend has it, it was an expiriment at the factory, but when a visiting dealer saw it he persuaded them to put it onto production. You're probably aware but a black groundcoat will work best.

    Gecko amphibious LARC-V

    I'm still tootling along with this one. The colour is more to my liking now and I've done most of the detail painting. Next job are the screen wiper assemblies, each made up of 3 small plastic pieces and pe arms. There are supposed to be three of them but we'll see how many (if any) survive my...

    I'm back, hopefully, kind of

    Great to see you back Jim, and you're already treating us to some of your jaw dropping work.

    The Smythemeister's Bf109 G-10

    That engine is a work of art. The rest ain't half bad either!

    Peters British ATMP Gekko models 1/35

    Haha, I built exactly the same thing to go with my ATMP diorama. That antenna was a challenge to say the least!

    Welcome Ninna One thing I can think of is to have waterslide decals printed (or print them yourself) then carefully cut away as much of the excess transparent film as you can, before application.

    Hello from a relative newbie

    Hi, and welcome to the forum. Patience, I still haven't won that battle 😂

    my job

    That's both brilliant and rare in such a male dominated industry. I've been in the motor trade for over 40 years, originally a mechanic before moving to the bodywork side, and I've only come across one female mechanic. My wife got her qualifications and did an apprenticeship at the Sheffield...

    Gecko amphibious LARC-V

    Agreed. It's in line with the box art, or at least it will be once matt, but not close to most of the reference pictures I've seen. Either way I don't like it so will see what I can do 😁
