    A new suit of armour - LAV-25 style.

    Update, So now it is time to start adding brass - those of you with a nervous disposition can look away at this point - it gets dirty..... Here you see the new armour plates added to the lower hull inner sides..... And the drive shaft opening at the rear has been removed. And this is the...

    A new suit of armour - LAV-25 style.

    Update, As there is no interior the top and bottom of the hull were joined together and the new shape of the area at the rear of the hull top was forned.

    A new suit of armour - LAV-25 style.

    So taking another break from the Scud build while waiting for paint and brass, I dug out a wreck that was given to me a few years ago by a modeller who bit off a bit more than his skills. The resin conversion had been sanded and looked like a ducks beak at one end and had been attacked with a...

    Latest Acquisitions (2021)

    This is what I have to contend with, the following image was taken with her in full activity mode.... The other two would not stand still long enough.

    Hobby Boss 1:35 Leopard 2A6M CAN

    Hello Mark. The resin barracuda was far to uniform and unrealistic in finish, So I went after the product by Arkebuza. It comes in a cream colour but you can pre paint it to whatever colour you want. I just mixed up a colour I wanted from acrylic paint and then 'dyed' the material and laid it...

    Hobby Boss 1:35 Leopard 2A6M CAN

    Mark, Well made and well completed. Yes the 'bar armour' is a bone of contention as I found out with mine, but changed it to brass, as seen on my 2A4M But all credit to you for working with it Mike

    Scud B

    Hello Youngerthanmeperson, Unfortunately still around in some eyes, and still here to stir the pot. Yes we are still ok and faring well. I have just spent a couple of months trying to get these bone idle MP's of ours to shift their derrieres and get us old retired HGV drivers back to work as...

    Scud B

    Update. The suspension in the kit is workable, but once you attach the shock absorbers then they negate this feature. You can of course replace the shocks and drill out the locations for these to be pinned later and retain the working suspension. Or you can replace the kit shocks and once the...

    Scud B

    Update, Well the decorating has been completed with all the drama it brings to the paste board - but enough said about it the better. So back to the Scud, I started to assemble the suspension, only to find that when trying to add the arms to the locations the hub actually broke off.... The...

    Scud B

    Update, Few pics of the work in progress. The colour callout for the chassis and in the little reference I could find states that the chassis is black, in fact it is all black, so your colour of choice is....... ...... German Grey, with a worn out green and highlighted with a lighter grey. The...

    Scud B

    Update, So still working on the chassis although there is now paint on it (pics later). But progress has been made. I added the suspension locations and made up one of the wheel hubs as a test run... This is a closer view, these can be added before priming, but I wanted to see how they...

    Churchill AVRE Mk. lll

    They hold two smoke pots in each box, today the smoke would be generated through the engine, back then they used smoke pots. (For discussion only.) As you can see above with the electrical wire coming down from the engine compartment on this Sherman, with the circuit box just in view above the...

    Scud B

    I am pleased you brought that up, SWMBO has already stated that it stays in my room! The dog suggested putting it in the garden as a new 'P' pole for him???? Ignore the ghost in the background, he just appears at meal times.....

    Scud B

    Sensible update, The chassis in now almost complete and in primer apart from the suspension which is today's object.... The engine also now in the same primer... And ready for paint. The fans required some cleaning up to get rid of some strange flash that was between the blades... Left one...

    Sherman II mid October 1942

    Here is the finished Sherman II from the build blog. With a model from this era and conflict you could spend forever adding stowage, but at some point you have to call stop! I kept going around and around and thinking i could add and add but decided to stop and present it to you. Mike. The 50...

    Sherman II mid October 1942

    Update, Tracks are complete and on the model Before, during weathering. And on the base... Still some more work to do with stowage and 'bedding in' onto the base, then off to the complete section. Cheers Mike.
