    Mickc’s 1/48 Academy Yak-1

    Postie delivered the pilot so all systems go.

    Mickc’s 1/48 Academy Yak-1

    Off to a good start, only a couple of minor issues but easily solved. Cockpit on hold until the pilot shows up. Also included a pic of the undercarriage I’m using.

    Mickc’s 1/48 Academy Yak-1

    Here’s my entry for the GB, I’m going to do one of the white camouflaged versions on skids. Never built a Russian plane or one in winter coat so here goes. The pilot is currently awol but I am assured he will be here before I button it up. Here’s the sprue pics.

    My latest piece has been in bits staring at me for a while now since I picked it really cheaply off that auction site. There’s quite a bit of detail on both the rider and his mount, this had to be painted in two parts. Here is Lord Celesant Vandus Hammerhand of the Stormcast Eternals riding his...

    Latest Acquisitions (2023)

    Mine arrived this morning and it looks really nice, my dad’s old mob used them in Cyprus so I’m trying to find some pics I had to try and recreate one of theirs

    Another little nasty to add to my collection. This time its from the Tyranid army and is a Termagant. Many years ago I had a Tyranid army and these guys were basically the cannon fodder, they are put on the table in large units, not particularly strong but you swamped your opponent with numbers.

    Scania 1/24 770S - Pete’s wheeled cargo movers GB

    Finally got this one sorted, a couple of minor touches I need to make as I’ve only just seen them. Thanks to Pete for getting this one going and for also making me more creative in the profanity department. This kit has tried my patience and tested me but that’s what are hobby is all about. I’ve...

    Mick's Scania S770 4x2 Italeri 1/24.

    Construction done, nearly all the decals on, just a couple to add plus a pair of chromed V8 badges I’ve just painted. A couple of the decals need trimming to fit but nothing majo. Should get some final pics tomorrow if the rain stops.

    Mick's Scania S770 4x2 Italeri 1/24.

    Well the roof is on, far from perfect and I may have to slightly alter the brackets for the wind deflector on one side but that’s easy enough. Then some complete numb skull put a drop of CA on the corner of the passenger side window, yep guilty as charged. I’ve been told that acetone is good to...

    Pilot needed

    Does anyone know where I might get hold of a 1/48 seated Russian WWII pilot figure please? Had a wander round a couple of places but the only ones I've found come with an aircraft which I don't need. Many thanks

    This is where I got to last night, if I’m honest I was seriously thinking it’s bin day Thursday so they might get some extra weight in the bin and went to the pub. After a few beers I came home more positive and ready to go again

    The struggle is real, how hard can it be to put 4 sides on a box? I’m getting quite creative with the new expletives Clamping, glueing, swearing and repeat.

    Mick's Scania S770 4x2 Italeri 1/24.

    Todays truck update. I've got the rear mud guards fitted after a bit of minor surgery to the rear cover, just got the Scania plates to fit. Putting the outer shell on the cab really isn't fun and the instructions don't really help. There aren't any really good mounting points so I'm taking my...

    Best way to

    I’ve got a couple of small parts with raised lettering on, the letters are to be white on a black background. How do you guys go about tackling things like this? The parts aren’t very big.

    Mick's Scania S770 4x2 Italeri 1/24.

    A minor anomaly in the destructions, easy to sort but strange non the less. I’m slowly working through a few sub assemblies one of which is the mirrors. In the instructions it shows them to be painted black, the inside painted silver and then a transparent piece fitted, well I’d already decided...

    Mick's Scania S770 4x2 Italeri 1/24.

    Got to bit of a problem bit now and that’s the outer cab pieces which are all to be painted in the final colour. The door windows fit from the inside and the windscreen from the outside so I wanted to avoid lots of masking if I could and I want to avoid painting separately and damaging the...

    Mick's Scania S770 4x2 Italeri 1/24.

    Bit of a larger update but as swmbo is away until tomorrow evening I got some desk time in. I used this part to test the final colour as once the cab is finished it will not be seen again. After watching a few videos on the real truck I found that this red box covers a positive terminal for...

    Mick's Scania S770 4x2 Italeri 1/24.

    Another quick update before work spoils play again. The interior cab sections are coming together and I’ve started fixing the seatbelts in. I went with black leather look for the seats. The dashboard is also coming along nicely too, needs tidying up then it can go in. There should be a remote...

    Mick's Scania S770 4x2 Italeri 1/24.

    With the chassis virtually complete it’s time to start on the cab. Undercoat on and the seat areas sprayed black. Two shades of grey for the rest of it, there are basically three colours inside, dark grey, lighter grey and black. The seats are next up for paint, just got to decide which colour...

    Mick's Scania S770 4x2 Italeri 1/24.

    Chassis now 95% completed, a couple of small parts being painted and then there's the rear wheel arches to do. I'm leaving those for now as they are painted in the main cab colour.
