    What's on the Bench 2025

    Airfix 1/72 R.N.L.I. Shannon Class Lifeboat. I'm not doing a detailed build for this, just the main stages. About time I made me a boat/ship...... The kit needs a bit of 'Bling'. I usually build O.O.B., but as I was 'rescued' twice by these wonderful people during my sailing days, I intend...

    Do you have a dog?

    Steven, be very careful before you take the leap! We have had 5 dogs (all rescue) and are all now at rest, buried in the garden. We lost the last one a couple of years ago and swore we would never have another....again! But we capitulated or at least I did. There was a big piece of the jigsaw...

    Completed "What goes up- Must come down......Mykolaiv, Ukraine.

    Finally finished this. Except for the tank, all scratch built from polystyrene foam, foam board and 'stuff' from the garden. Clear plastic sheet for the water and a bit of silcone for any water movement. The background watercolour I painted, and used again for this, is from an earlier diorama of...

    Spanner's Airfix 1/72 Fw190 A-8. Eastern Front.

    Finished. Squeeky clean, just as the ground crew steps away...... I will add some weathering, a simple base etc. when I put some new images in Al's 'Completed' A bit of history..... The model is of No. 7 JG 54 during the winter on the Russian Front during WW2. Their aircraft were painted in...

    Spanner's Airfix 1/72 Fw190 A-8. Eastern Front.

    Here you go, JIm. A bit of 'Lady Luck' works wonders! Ready for it's final coat and general tidying up of the colour edges. The original yellow was where that small indent is. Bit of a tip for anyone else daft enough to make a similar mistake. Don't paint over the original yellow...

    Spanner's Airfix 1/72 Fw190 A-8. Eastern Front.

    Thanks Ian, but it's simply me wanting an easy life. Constantly cleaning an A.B. and all the faffing with masking tape isn't on the agenda...... Wink wink! Detailing started and a bit of yeller too. Plenty of 'Touching up' yet Matron!..... I'm also fed up with knocking off the cannons,(One...

    Spanner's Airfix 1/72 Fw190 A-8. Eastern Front.

    Thanks chaps. Steve, if the little tips and suggestions i throw in during brush painting a model helps folks, then I'm a very happy bunny! Main underside surfaces done. The colour is a pale blue/grey. The camera hasn't quite caught it properly. Don't worry about the mess on the nose section...

    Spanner's Airfix 1/72 Fw190 A-8. Eastern Front.

    Thanks boys. I always paint the lightest colour first on an aircraft, this is usually the underside. However, because my 190 will be in winter camo. i have to brush on the white upper surfaces first. No big deal, it just feels a bit strange. Two brushed on coats of pot No. 22 proved to give me...

    Spanner's Airfix 1/72 Fw190 A-8. Eastern Front.

    Thanks chaps. Update. The model went together so simply and quickly, with no issues, that I forgot to take any stage build pickies. Sorry. Apart from fitting the seat to the tub, no other work has been done to the cockpit. I have built a few of these 190's and even without the pilot, precious...

    Spanner's Airfix 1/72 Fw190 A-8. Eastern Front.

    This kit came to me as part of the 'Dogfight Double' kits from our good mate LeeW. Thanks Lee. I built the Typhoon a while back, so now on to the 'Butcher Bird'. Alan and I had some great chats via P.M.'s, particularly, if it isn't seen, why glue it together? We both agreed that sometimes it's...

    'Pharos' A 1/200 card model ship. (Peter's Injection free G.B,2024)

    Update. To anyone daft enough to have ago at these infernal things i found that if you glue the flat base parts to summat solid like plywood or MDF then everything is held rigid and doesn't wobble and warp. Particularly the waterline. Box section bulkheads done. Just make sure the parts...

    'Pharos' A 1/200 card model ship. (Peter's Injection free G.B,2024)

    Here I go again! i was determined never to build one of these devil's creations ever again, and yet.... ........in some sadistic way I did sort of enjoy the experience when I built this 1/250 MacBraynes Ferry 'Bute'. Part of the ferry's cargo But I digress. Here is my effort at another...
