    Mick’s Ducati 888 superbike racer Tamiya 1/12

    More progress made but this really is a steep learning curve. I’ve fitted more pipes to the engine, radiator on, built a swing arm apparently and got the exhaust together. This has some decals which look like carbon fibre to go on.

    Croatia

    Hi one and all. Now back from an amazing two weeks in Croatia, stopping on an island just off the coast from Dubrovnik. During our forays onto the mainland we visited the Homeland museum in the Napoleonic fortress on the mountain overlooking the old walled town. It was here it struck me that...

    Just had time to screw the engine into the frame. Last update for two weeks as I’m off on holiday.

    Day shifts done so a bit more work completed. Quite a bit of detail painting to do but finally some progress

    Mick’s Ducati 888 superbike racer Tamiya 1/12

    Build is now underway. These two wheelie things are definitely paint as you go models. One strange thing I’ve already found, there is a chromed sprue but the first two parts off it aren’t chrome on the model and have to be painted? Here’s the start….

    Mick’s Ducati 888 superbike racer Tamiya 1/12

    After a few days away to chill out and put recent events behind us I returned home to find my replacement entry to the GB had arrived. I’ve only ever built one other bike and that was in 1/35 scale. With this one me and my comfort zone are on different planets but it’s the only way to learn. At...

    These really are superbly engineered kits. Thanks for organising the GB Andy.

    Needed a bit of normality after the last few days, so I finished off another Warhammer 30K space marine. I much prefer looking at them with the naked eye from 6 feet away

    A sad day

    Yesterday was an extremely sad day in our house. It was my father in law’s funeral down in Sussex which I was unable to attend as our dogs illness had worsened. I sat and watched the funeral on a live feed before heading to the vets where our dog was put to sleep. Those of you who have loved and...

    Mick's Bandai 1/72 Y-Wing starfighter.

    Starting to batter this one up just like its fellow squadron x-wing still a way to go to tidy it up

    Mick's Bandai 1/72 Y-Wing starfighter.

    The build phase is now complete. The two guns off the canopy top are in the paint shop with the base. If you’re into plumbing then this is the kit for you, so many pipes!!! The cockpit section isn’t fully on here as there’s painting to do, when it fully locates there are about a dozen pipes that...

    Mick's Bandai 1/72 Y-Wing starfighter.

    As on the x-wing the small details are excellent, especially harking back to the original film set models built out of kits, wonder which engine deck this is?

    Mick's Bandai 1/72 Y-Wing starfighter.

    After dropping swmbo and mum in law at the airport this morning I got some of my chores sorted then hit the desk. I got the canopy masked and sprayed up, I’ve gone for this rather than the open film studio version, I also started to remove the masking fluid used for chipping, then onto the main...

    Mick's Bandai 1/72 Y-Wing starfighter.

    A bit more progress made, things are a bit chaotic at the moment, father in law passed away last week and our dogs ultrasound results show she’s now terminally ill, chuck in work and wife going away for ten days and days are just melting away. Anyway on a positive note cockpit and pilot almost...

    Mick's Bandai 1/72 Y-Wing starfighter.

    Made a quick start before heading to work. These models can simply be clipped together and stickers applied But I want this one to be in the same colour scheme as my X-Wing, so paint and decals.

    Mick's Bandai 1/72 Y-Wing starfighter.

    Here’s my offering to the GB. I really enjoyed building the X-Wing and this looks just as much fun. It will be built gear up on its supplied base. One minor difference due to what I believe was some licensing/copyright problem is the standing figure supplied. This now has no detail and is...

    Another one done before the Star Wars GB starts. This one is from Warhammer 30K and the time of the Horus Heresy. This is a terminator from the World Eaters chapter who were one of the nine legions that turned traitor during the heresy.
