Slow Progress
Been home a couple of weeks, now - progress is very very slow. No real problem with the mechanical handling/changing of the Stoma gear. The major factor is the tiredness, and weakness. I have to do everything in easy steps, taking frequent breathers. I have limited concentration span, I find... -
1/56 Printed Models
More 1/56 tanks............ A13 Cruiser Birch Gun and tracks for a Light Tank Mk VI I've printed the tracks first, not much point in printing the rest, if the tracks don't look good turned out ok - now printing the hull, turret & sandshields for a M.VIc - takes a long time at small layer...- Dave Ward

1/56 Printed Models
Hmm now attempting to print something difficult My first attempts had to be aborted, as it was clear that they'd gone wrong. This led to this attempt, which I didn't think would work: Looks pretty hopeless - this is printed with organic, or tree support - but, with a bit of careful trimming...- Dave Ward

1/56 Printed Models
I've been going through a particularly difficult period, and I haven't really felt like any benchtime. Instead, I've been printing some tank models in 1/56 - I found 1/72 too small, and printing times for 1/35 are way too long, so 1/56 is a compromise - being a wargaming size, there are loads of...- Dave Ward

Which German AFVs had zimmerit applied?
I always thought that zimmerit was applied to front line tanks/stugs, and not to support spgs etc. I have the Trumpeter 'Ostwind' in my hands & doing a bit of searching, I found this: The Ostwinds could be built on refurbished Pz.IV hulls, would this zimmerit be a hangover from a previous...- Dave Ward

Some Bad News
I've been unwell for some months, I was diagnosed with anaemia, but I've been going through various tests to find the cause. I had gastroscopy and colonoscopy yesterday, possibly the worst afternoon in my life, and the upshot is I have cancer. Biopsies were taken for analysis. The doctor assured... -
A missing model?
Whilst looking at the US half-tracks, I found another gap - the T30 Howitzer Motor Carriage Half-track with a 75mm pack howitzer fitted. 500 produced in WWII - saw action Odd that makers who already have a M2/M3 in their catalogue, and even the pack howitzer haven't picked up on this ( Tamiya...- Dave Ward

A missing model?
Hot off thr print bed.......................... Gun barrels are 'warty', and will need attention/replacing Looks a bit of a mess, but I think after a careful clean up it may be useable. There are files provided for the crew, and it may be that they could hide any major flaws. I need to...- Dave Ward

A missing model?
M15 or M15A1 - well, since neither have been favoured by a manufacturer, it doesn't matter. Originally the guns had a square shield covering all 3, but this was removed to increase vision. I'm just about to start the print off & I hope I'll have a result in the morning. I used organic...- Dave Ward
