Realistic Bullet Hole/Shell Damage Question
An example of a firecracker used to simulate a shell impact. It's the burned area on the turret number. It's a Tamiya 1:35 Panther I built in the '70s... thus the aged look of the model.- Andy the Sheep

Andrea's Takom BV206S 1/35 for Simon

After Takom kindly sent me the spare tracks, I left this build on the shelf: the tracks mishap really sapped my mojo for this kit Back on the desk and some progress done on the interiors. For those interested, this is not a "full interior" kit but have some...- Andy the Sheep

Airfix 54 mm George Washington
My shelf of doom is slowly but steadily empting. This is my second serious attempt to figure modelling and painting (I don't count crews included in vehicles kits in this category). As we say here, I still have to eat even more soup... First two pics shot with cell phone, the others with my old...- Andy the Sheep

Trumpeter 1:35 B1 Centauro AFV 2nd series w/upgraded armour
After more than 1 year here is the final result of my efforts :tired::relieved:. I did a lot mistakes, the most of them related to the large intervals between the building session, large enough to forget all I did/did not during the previous one and what I planned for the next. :flushed: E.G., I...- Andy the Sheep

Turning 60 and retiring
I really hope so; winter is coming, garden is going to sleep and the new house is almost ready: everything seems to be aligned... finger crossed. As we say "It doesn't matter how early you get up, bad luck is already awake!" ;) Ok, Neil, I concede: I ended my career as an OF5 (full colonel) in...- Andy the Sheep

Not a Moment to Lose… Battle of the Bulge, Ardennes, December 1944
Hoping to be somehow useful, I made some researches in my library and found these pics and it confirms that the paratroopers on that Konigstiger had lost their way to their unit (9th FJ regiment) and were attached to the 501 heavy panzer battalion. The source is this one It's not a first class...- Andy the Sheep

What's on the Bench 2023
After the Re 2005 (see completed aircraft section), I decided to move toward the completion of the Centauro. I want to finish all pending builds before starting a new one and the desire to start a new kit is a good incentive. First two coats of NATO green (Tamiya acrylics). Still some red...- Andy the Sheep

Reggiane Re 2005 RS models 1/72
A nice kit, even if the plastic is on the soft side. The fitting is good, the decals too. The main issue is how to replicate the typical Reggiane green. As a "plus", a resin model of its engine, the DB 605, fitted with the german propeller, an alternative offered to some Re 2005 Andrea- Andy the Sheep

Latest Acquisitions (2023)
I went to my parents' and enjoyed a very nice couple of weeks with them in the fresh air of the western alps while SWMBO was sweating everything she could at home; and no, I'm not that cruel: dad and mom needed some care as they are now 90 and 87 years old respectively. Now I left the job to my...- Andy the Sheep
