    Valeron's 1/35 ICM KHD S3000/SS M Maultier

    Painted the tracks and was starting to install them when I noticed I made a mistake previously. I can't believe this one got past me. Oh well, deep breath and take a few steps bacwards Sometimes this hobby can be so frustrating. I was on such a roll and even ordered some pigments today for...

    Valerons ICM 1 35 Model T 1917 Ambulance

    I'll be building this for Dave's Emergency Services GB. I'll post sprue shots when the build starts. I bought this earlier this year as I fancied the look of it but haven't had the courage to build it yet, but as I'm currently building another ICM softskin, I thought this GB was a good time to...

    Valeron's 1/35 ICM KHD S3000/SS M Maultier

    Thank you everybody for the advice. With my drill, a paperclip, some wire cutters and superglue. I've fixed the first one. Just a bit of touch up required. What would I do without this site and its amazing people.

    Valeron"s 1/72 Airfix mosquito (papa695's Mossy GB)

    Well this is my competed Mossie in what was my first ever Group Build. Hopefully there will be many more to come. I struggled a bit on parts and made many mistakes along the way but I'm happy with the result. The model was primed with a rattle can then panted 100% with Vallejo paints and...

    Valeron's 1/35 ICM KHD S3000/SS M Maultier

    Here is my entry for this build. Thanks for organising it Dave. I'm looking forward to this and hopefully I can complete my first non aircraft and non 1/72 model, which is all I've managed to complete since re-starting this hobby in January this year. It'll be a slow start as I'm still behind...

    Workbenches...

    Early days for me in this hobby so I'm working on the dining room table, using a home built bench I knocked up quickly with some MDF. The light in the dining room is really good and I can move the bench to another room easily when we need the table. We only use it if we have guests as we most...

    Dave's Half track GB Chat thread.

    This will be my build. Hopefully I can handle it as I've only really worked on 1/72 aircraft since starting this hobby. I did attempt a 1/35 Tamiya tank but failed abysmally. I've learnt alot since then though.

    Valerons Airfix 1/72 Mosquito B.XVI

    A bit more progress albeit slow due to a busy life at the moment. I've finally got the main body of the aircraft assembled. I requires some up clean up before priming. I struggled so much getting getting the exhausts in the correct positions. The instructions are very clear but that seem to...

    Valerons Airfix 1/72 Mosquito B.XVI

    On a more positive note, I've fully assembled the cockpit, applied basic colours and fixed the instrument panel decal. I need to apply washes, paint more detail etc before closing the cockpit in the hull. For now though I'll now put this aside and bring the undercarriage up to the same level...

    Dry brushing with Vallejo

    Hi As many of you will know I'm pretty new to all of this and only really started in January. I've been brush painting al my models using Vallejo model colours. I use thinned down paint (with tap water) and find that it flows and covers really easily. But I've recently started to try the dry...

    Valerons Airfix 1/72 Mosquito B.XVI

    My first GB has started and plastic has been cut. Not much to show so far and sorry for my filthy mat. I only bought it in February and look at the state of it already. Anyone cockpit parts have been assembled and will be primed tomorrow before painting and attaching together. There was very...

    Valerons Airfix 1/72 Mosquito B.XVI

    This will be what I'm building for the Mossie group build. I picked it up from the shop at the RAF Museum in Hendon a month or so ago. It'll only be my 3rd model since getting into modelling and joining the forum in January. I'll be brush painting using Vallejo model colour paints which I've...

    Spots on the Internet (2022)

    I've just come across this on Etsy, advertised as Framed Deconstructed model kit Modern day art for the modelling community by the looks of things. There are numerous once available but pricey at £120 plus. But I guess that's modern art for you.

    Completed: Airfix 1:72 Curtis P-40B Warhawk

    This was quite an easy build. There was a small amount of filler and light sanding required. I struggled attaching the landing gear and this kept breaking. There is only one connecting point but super glue saved the day. I might attempt to mask the cockpit on my next build as this was painted...

    Airfix 1:72 Curtis P-40B Warhawk

    The main body of the aircraft has now been completed and went together quite easily. I applied tiny bit of filler, did some light sanding, then applied a thin coat of rattle can (Army Painter white) Primer. It needs a bit of tidying and maybe another coat of Primer then I'll add some colour...

    Airfix 1:72 Curtis P-40B Warhawk

    Bench time has been limited but I'm back on it now. The cockpit has been assembled and the fuselage started. I'm currently struggling with fitting the upper wings. Something isn't quite right but I will prevail. Also trying to work out what clear part 4 is. I'm going mad and can't see it on...

    Airfix 1:72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk. Vc - My first completed build

    Following the comments on Matt varnish, I've now brushed on Vallejo Matt acyclic varnish and I think it looks much better compared to the shiny picture I posted earlier.
