    Airborne's 'Sitting on the Dock of the Bay'

    Think the Sturmboot is basically finished, there's a boat hook, personal weapons and gear included. Work continues on the other figures and I'm about to venture into creating crappy, oily. claggy dock water - please wish me luck - here's 'Das Boot' so, 'All aboard the Skylark ... !' Steve

Complete and still in bag b) Eduard (Profi Pack) 8920. 1/48 Lysander Mk 2 Complete, but a very few parts have been started (I promise they are not caked in...

    Airborne's Injection-free GB entry - 200mm 1970's/1980's Para

    Still working on the 'Dock of the Bay' diorama but, whilst waiting for a flock of seagulls to arrive, I've started work on my Gimpy Para, Spent the last week cleaning up the Bergan, both legs and a start on the torso; there's more clean-up required than first meets the eye with prominent pour...

    Airborne's 'Sitting on the Dock of the Bay'

    Using my limited spare moments to progress this diorama; still nothing set in concrete (or resin 'water') but have done some more to the dock, created the basic Sturmboot crew and am still working on the topside. Progress so far - also have a 'cat' that's being tickled by the seated figure in...

    Airborne's 'Sitting on the Dock of the Bay'

    Earlier on I showed loads of stuff I was gifted at Christmas, part of that was the 'Dock with Stairs' from Italaeri that i said I would create a quick and dirty diorama: this is the outline of that idea, The figures are just to suggest groupings, as are the vehicles and accessories - more work...

    Airborne's Injection-free GB entry - 200mm 1970's/1980's Para

    When I first signed up for the GB I proposed the 1/16 German Infantryman on a motorcycle as my project. Since then Christmas has come and gone leaving me with a considerable stash that included the Mitches Military Models Para with GPMG (7.62 mm General Purpose Machine Gun to the uninitiated)...

    Latest Acquisitions (2024)

    Well, Christmas is fast becoming a memory; my wife Kate believes she's the Christmas Fairy Reincarnate and indulges her favourite passion (apart from Knitting) - buying presents! This year was no exception although I suspect I won't have started some of these next year due to ongoing GBs. This...

    Working at school can sometimes be extremely hazardous, I was therefore given a First Aid box to help me self-remedy in extreme cases. This, therefore, is my latest acquisition ... Steve

    Airborne in a Philosophical Moment

    I'm amazed I spelled the big 'P' word correctly, but seriously though - I look at our representations of aircraft, AFVs, ships etc, I look at famous types, names, and all the other permutations of our modelling and I wonder whether we ever really think of the history or the human impact of the...

    Stuka zu Fuss Diorama in pr

    Started to assemble bits and pieces to complete the Diorama for the Rocket GB; may not be finished before the end of December but should be soon thereafter if not. Probably won't use everything but at least I'll have the choice! The setting will be second-line resupply/maintenance area with a...

    Airborne's 'Stuka zu Fuss'. Dragon 1/35

    Coming close to completion; needs the weathering to be modified and some more internal stowage - this will be followed by the building of the diorama scenario, I'm thinking a resupply location with a more relaxed feel, perhaps in a ruined industrial site. There are several dozen more rockets to...

    Help with 3D Printed Models Please

    This may be a 'how long is a piece of string?' type question but here goes: I will soon attempt the German Motorcyclist for one of the GBs; it's a 3D print in a light grey resin and covered in copious amounts of release agent (?). My questions are as follows: 1. What is the best solvent for...

    Airborne's Para Officer - ex D-Day Anniversary GB

    Realised I hadn't posted the completion pics from Lee's GB - well here it is! Changed the badge on the front of the base because I thought the previous was 'showy' and wanted something more 'fitting', The base is reversed as the CA debonder totally knackered the surface (more work to do...

    PBI (Poor Bloody Infantry)

    Reading Memorial Posts et al I had a thought (unusually!) - perhaps a wide-ranging GB covering 'Poor Bloody Infantry'. Any scale, any format (ie Dioramas, V Busts, Individual soldiers, etc,etc, etc) any scenario, any period (Ancient to Modern). Almost by definition the main point of interest...

    Airborne's 1/16 3-D Printed German Motorcyclist

    After my abject failure to insert this in the correct GB I'm trying again :o! This is my first 3-D venture so I'm somewhat nervous and will doubtless ask for advice on adhesives , fillers etc - I'm glad the GB lasts until March! Manufacturer is unknown, lots of finely detailed parts, can't find...

    Airborne's 'Stuka zu Fuss'. Dragon 1/35

    Waiting eagerly for the starting gun I thought I'd post the sprue shots of my victim. Dragon 6861 SdKfz 251/1 Ausf D mit 28/32 Wurfrahmen. Usual clean Dragon casting, plethora of unused parts and duplication of sprue identifying letters - 15 marked 'A' for example! 2 bags of Magic Tracks and...
