Cheers Scottie Thanks Lee Paul - I did get a large assorted box of Grandt Line nuts, bolts, hinges, lifting eyes, and the most useful wing nuts back around 1990. Pretty much only have the odd sized stuff left that will probably never be useful for anything! Tried to find their wing nuts...- SimonT

Last Ditch
Hi Jack - looking good One minor thing to note for future - use non-patterned tissues for tarps. That looks like kitchen roll - you can see the embossed pattern in it. The drape, creasing and paint look good though More rubble in general plus a bit more dust and small rubble, both inside the...- SimonT

Tamiya SAS Willy's Jeep 1:35
I quite like this old kit - have two waiting in the wings somewhere The jerrycans are a bit rubbish in old Tamiya kits and should really have three handles and filler caps that are not blobs but of course it all depends on how accurate you wish to make it- SimonT

SimonT - Tamiya T34/76
feel free to laugh - I know they look like they are in sleeping bags but they are not a serious attempt at sculpting I just needed some bulk to fill the turret and give the impression that they are not really only half the men they used to be Tamiya has cruelly cut them off in their prime such...- SimonT

Been a while since the last update but I have been working on this on and off in the background the back face of the baseplate has had some short lengths of tubing CA'd to it and the surface scored the inside of the bottom end of the main casing has had the same treatment this is because I...- SimonT

SimonT - Yufan Model - Seal Support Team 75mm
Not a problem Rick - she will be forever known now as Julie looks like I wobbled again as I took the snap! At least the blurring effect hides some of the poor paintwork :smiling5: Blocked in his T-shirt with black panzer uniform, which is really a very dark grey, the backpack with canvas...- SimonT

Rick - I shall certainly try to get them done cheers Paul - not sure if it will be successful Jim - the scale doesn't really bother me. It could be a big part at small scale, a small part at big scale, they are all just parts. It all comes down to whether I can manage to build something to the...- SimonT

Cheers Andrew Steve - well it is only a little smaller than 1/76, which I spent many years doing, but my old fingers are not as dexterous as they once were.

brass barrel modified to fit - much better than the kit version then made a start on hollowing/thinning out the mudguards - this is a standard task for pretty much any vehicle as they are generally moulded way thicker than they should be due to moulding constraints also been thinking on how...- SimonT

The upper hull should overlap the lower hull slightly, the join is not flush so I extended the sides slightly with tiny micro strip in order to sand the strips down flush I had to remove the engine bay access doors - not a great problem as they were...- SimonT
