'A Gentleman in Khaki' - Boer War Soldier
Update: spent some time cleaning up (minimal) mould lines, undercutting areas such as pocket flaps, jacket front overlaps etc. Primer on main part of figure - rifle and hands to follow later as the rifle is slightly warped, bayonet needs attention, and the fragile sling is beyond redemption and...- Airborne01

'A Gentleman in Khaki' - Boer War Soldier
Have just decided to forego wheels and tracks for a while and turn to a more esoteric subject - a Boer War soldier - wounded but defiant! It is modelled on the Caton Woodville painting of the same name The manufacturer and sculptor are unknown as the figure was gifted to me by a late friend's...- Airborne01

Airborne's AEC Petrol Bowser - 0 - Kyrenia Pass - 1
They don't build them like this anymore! Over the edge of the Kyrenia Pass, a few rolls and then upside down in an Olive Grove. REME recovered it and drove it back to barracks! Might make a cracking diorama! Steve- Airborne01

An Airborne Daub
Following some of the excellent artwork posted by others SWMBO suggested I post this - it's a detail painting of a heavily weathered and iron-stained mooring post in Langstone Harbour, Hampshire. Acrylics on art paper. Steve- Airborne01

Airborne's SdKfz 251/17 Ausf C (2cm FlaK)
Due to more work at school, SWMBO's decision (for me) to dig out our patchy grass and replace it with stone, temporary loss of mojo when building a Stug III Ausf C (due to PE rear stowage rails not 'working') - ex Karl W - and other minor, but annoying hindrances, I have just about managed to...- Airborne01

Airborne's SWMBO - ordained Next Project
I was in a bit of a quandary as to what to do next after finishing the last two Shelf-Queen 8-wheelers. I have several more partly finished Queens and some untouched Virgins in the stash but couldn't decide 'what next'! SWMBO came to the rescue by using one of the stratagems she (and her other...- Airborne01

Airbornes's completed 'Shelf of Doom' 8-wheel Sdkfz 234s
Christmas and associated celebrations have gone; (Hurrah!) so I decided the new year was a perfect time to finish a couple of the 234s that have sat on the shelf for a year or three! Time at school, In-laws visits and other shenanigans have stretched the time frame but, apart from minor tweaks...- Airborne01

Help Please, What's This?
A friend of mine does house clearances and brings me 'things' that may be of interest/use to me. Two questions; firstly can anybody positively identify the double-ended 'thingamabob'? (I can see a use for it in pushing putty around) Secondly, the rather brilliant knife, what was its intended use...- Airborne01

Airborne's 1/16 SS Grenadier NCO - Completed!
Well.I think this is it! I still think the pose is not quite 'right' but I didn't want to ruin the model by ham-handed attempts to bring it round to my way of thinking. My only dislike was the sling that I couldn't get moulded convincingly - so I left it off! If anybody wants a superb model to...- Airborne01

Airborne's 1/16 SS Grenadier NCO
Moving swiftly on -the basic assembly is done - absolutely perfect fit throughout, but I would attach the mag pouches first in future as they otherwise take a little negotiating! Nothing too arduous though. So, main body painted, no flesh tones or weapon yet as I still can't make up my mind as...- Airborne01

Airborne's 1/16 SS Grenadier NCO
Another Christmas present. A beautifully cast Alpine offering, cleanly cast with only minimal (easily removed) flash - the pose is a little stilted but acceptable. This will be the first attempt of the New Year and will give me a chance to try out may new wet palette and SS camouflage. Don't...- Airborne01

Airborne's DUC - Sdkfz 7 with Howitzer
Here's a melding of the two earlier elements of an earlier GB - I envisage a second line moment of calm - scran (food), rest, dhobi (sh-t, shave, shampoo and 'shower') and then admin and equipment maintenance. I think a farm courtyard - not too complicated - but hopefully full of details such as...- Airborne01

Airborne01's fd.kfz 7. Dragon, 1/35
95% done so I'm calling it complete for all intents and purposes for this thread - there's work yet to do but it overlaps into other threads (QV). Hope you like the progress so far - it was finished within time (honest) but I've been distracted ... my apologies! Steve- Airborne01

Snuck in an hour or two here and there and this is the result: Carpet Monster refuses to yield the hand rail and I refuse to be blackmailed by scratching a new part!

Managed to get a little more completed, tracks (complete with mistake) and engine for example; started on stowage but have yet to uncover a definitive stowage plan so it will have to be down to the arcane art of guesstimation! The rear basket was deformed and had a short moulding in one area...- Airborne01
