    Airborne's Falklands GB candidate - Sgt Mather MM

    Here's an update - figure assembled but unprimed. Wasn't happy with the position of the right arm as it looked as if it was waving in the breeze so I've added Milliput to the outcrop to allow re-positioning with a view to making it look as if he was closer to reaching in to the Bergan for the...

    Airborne's Falklands GB candidate - Sgt Mather MM

    As it's the 1st of April I thought I'd crack on with this build - I'm really looking forward to it even though it's something new! Two views showing parts and detail front and rear of the figure (one boot attached already as I wanted to see how it fitted to the rocky outcrop - which I neglected...

    Richard Attached schematic for your delight, edification and education - at the cost of more chewed fingernails and grey hair of course! Steve

    A mate of mine gave me this - notice the colour variations on the Cherry Berets - don't get fixated on the 'proper' colour! :cool: Steve

    Airborne's Completed GB - Shelf of Doom - Bergepanther

    Well, finally achieved something! Tracks yielded (I think) and I've got something to show for it! Some more detailing to do, more photos to follow then a transition to 'Dioramas Under Construction' Hope this appeals! Steve

    Airborne's Bussing-Nag Recovery Vehicle - I Hope!

    At last I've managed some progress - not finished yet, just details and bits 'n' pieces to go - but a rough outline of the finished result. Will call this finished soon and maybe resurrect it for a diorama.Or maybe just scrap it - a horrendous build , my worst ever! I hate the end result! Steve...

    Latest Acquisitions (2021)

    Well (Mrs) Christmas has come again bearing modelling supplies (amongst other things) - don't know how I'm going to find time to build/read all this though! Once I've finished the Bussing NAG and the 'shelf queen' of the Bergepanther I'll doubtless find time! Once again, thanks Kate! Steve...

    Airborne's Bussing-Nag Recovery Vehicle - I Hope!

    Shit happens! SWMBO has sorted out my crap! Very little progress due to work. Thanks to Kate for getting me through this. Here is the latest (minimal) progress....

    Airborne's Bussing-Nag Recovery Vehicle - I Hope!

    A little more progress - slow due to renovations and innovations at Kate's school and a suspected case of COVID (fortunately proven negative by PCR). Managed to force the chassis squarer (at the temporary cost of minor details of course!) Same problems throughout - miniscule details, vague...

    Airborne's Bussing-Nag Recovery Vehicle - I Hope!

    Well, here's the next instalment - not much done but I have been away working (!) The cab is populated by (literally) a couple of dozen prominent sink marks and ejector scars :sad-face:, some in awkward places! The assembly sequence for this model needs intense review unless you have the manual...

    Airborne's Bussing-Nag Recovery Vehicle - I Hope!

    Sorry for the delay - been building stuff at my wife's school - and my abysmal attempts at photography! The chassis is nearly complete, the big lump of a motor ditto; the same problems have persisted - fiddly parts, chipolata fingers, fading eyesight, empty Sauvignon bottle - life deals some...

    Airborne's Bussing-Nag Recovery Vehicle - I Hope!

    Well, I've started; a somewhat mixed start as the chassis conjured up an 'interesting' range of issues! The first step is building the air cylinders: the fit of the cylinders to the mounting frames are incredibly tight , so much so that I tried running one of my trusty No. 15 blade round the...

    Airborne's Bussing-Nag Recovery Vehicle - I Hope!

    Well, here we go - a largely OOB construction of the AFV Club model - wish me well! 15 sprues of (two tones) of sand coloured plastic, 1 clear sprue, 7 rubber tyres (urgh - to be replaced with resin!), small, well-detailed PE fret with very fine radiator grille, length of fine cord, and a...

    Gloster Javelin Gissit!

    For the price of the postage this unopened Airfix 1/48 Gloster Javelin could be yours! Still reducing stash and found another wingy thing! There are also some Luftwaffe items like 1/32 bombs and trolleys for those of an historical bent. Can be seperate or combined! Steve

    Indecisive - Moi?!

    I am of the realisation that I need to have several projects on the bench at once - Kate has pointed out that I have a stash that's gathering dust and has urged me to 'get a grip' ... I have the Meng and Takom Bergepanthers that are being worked on for the Group build and a 95% complete Vietnam...

    Airborne's 'Sheridan Vietnam Dio'

    For Andy (Smythe Meister' par excellence) I present my interpretation of our joint theme, It is (very loosely) based on a photo of the Lang pagoda, Min Hai village, Hai Hong Province. Waiting for more accessories, and need to tweak some of the productions so far.
