Nick's Aoshima 1/12 Kawasaki GPz900R ......... TOP GUN
Getting geared up ready to make a start although as I'm working the next few days, I won't actually get to kick-off on the first. However, here is what we're going to be working with, and it looks pretty good.... I have three different boxings of this kit, two of which would have been...- Nicko

Takom 1/35 StuH42
Had this one on the go since about the end of October. A nice kit to put together with more metal parts than I've dealt with before including both the side skirts and gun barrel plus the usual grills etc. Airbrushed the main colours with mrp paints. Here are the pics.... Thanks...- Nicko

Tamiya 1/48 Heinkel HE162
Finished this one over the past couple of days. It was meant to be 'wheels down' until I broke one of the undercarriage legs. Main colours are from an AK Real Colour Luftwaffe late war set and I also used a 3d printed interior decal set. Here are the pics..... Thanks as always for...- Nicko

Revell 1/24 Landrover Series 3
Wasn't sure whether to put this in with cars or trucks, but here she is, what will be my last completed build this year. Its been about two years in the making after spending a long time waiting for me to get on with painting it. The usual Revell mix of simplicity and with a few good bits. There...- Nicko

Airfix 1/48 Spitfire PR XIX
Hi Guys, here is my recently completed model of the Airfix 1/48 Spitfire PR XIX. I dug this one out during the summer with a view to joining Peter's group build, but thought better of it with being really busy at work. In the end I didn't start on it until the beginning of October. This seems...- Nicko

ICM 1/35 Tiger II
This is my latest completed build. It was the other half of ICM's Battle of Berlin set from which I built the T34/85 for Lee's Russian tank group build earlier in the year. I replaced the ICM rubber band tracks with Takom individual links but other than that, it's straight out of the box. I...- Nicko

The Motorbike Thread
I've decided the time has come to thin out my modest motorcycle collection so over the summer I spent some time giving this one a bit of a spruce up. Took it out for MOT yesterday and of course really enjoyed riding it - first time in at least fifteen years. Nick- Nicko

Nick's ICM 1/35 T34/85 (Lee's Russian tank group build)
Well, it's very late and high time I stopped meddling with this one and got on with something else. So here she is. The ICM kit is nice although I did use MiniArt individual link tracks to replace the rubber-band type that came with the kit and also used a metal replacement gun barrel. This was...- Nicko

.....and breathe.....
Well, I haven't been much of a contributor on here lately, but I'm pleased to say that I've now reverted to my winter working pattern which should give me much more time to indulge in this wonderful hobby of ours. I had a big birthday earlier this year and although I always thought I might be... -
What flew over your house (yesterday)
Ok, not over my house and not actually flying, but it was something of a surprise to come across this rather faded F104 parked in a yard along some obscure moutain backroad in the Italian Lakes region a couple of weeks ago. Pics courtesy of the Lady on the back..... I'll hopefully get... -
Nick's 1/35 ICM T34/85
Well, the group build comes to a close this Saturday and I'm sorry to say that I haven't quite made it. Today was the last day I'm likely to get any bench time this week and I still have some small parts to fit and the painting is incomplete. I'd like to say thanks to Lee for hosting what has...- Nicko

Takom 1/35 M31 recovery tank.
Well, I need to stop tinkering with this one and call it done - not least so that I can get on and finish my entry in Lee's Russian tank group build. This was my first attempt at something without rubber band tracks and the link and length examples here could have been done better. I also had...- Nicko

Bird Watching a Relaxing Hobby
My poor old Mum got a bit of a shock earlier when a sparrowhawk grabbed a collared dove and decided to deal with it on what she calls 'the bridge' which is a bit of raised decking outside her sitting room. I'm amazed she managed to capture it.... Pics aren't the best, but not bad for an 83...- Nicko

Nick's 1/35 ICM T34/85
Well, so far so good. This is my first attempt at individual track links and I've only had one not particularly successful go at link and length. Each side has been left in two pieces for painting and re-fitting. Fingers crossed...... Nick- Nicko

Nick's 1/35 ICM T34/85
Well, apologies for the lack of progress the past couple of weeks..... I've been working extra days and along with other stuff, the build has languished a bit. However, after lunch today, the ladies decided they were going to watch the new West Side Story. That was it, I was out of there! So...- Nicko

boatman's 1/72 HMS Tiger C20 build
Hang fire on the figures Chris. While sorting through some stuff, I came across remnants of a past modelling life that included this bag of 1/72 & 1/76 figures. There could be something in here that will meet your needs. I'm at work again tomorrow, but should be able to have a sort through...- Nicko

Nick's 1/35 ICM T34/85
Well, not a lot of progress this week. I had planned to get a bit done tomorrow, but I've been called in for an extra day at work so that's put paid to my intentions. However, I did put the roadwheels together and got them fitted. Also put a little gloss on the turret and slid the minimal...- Nicko

Nick's 1/35 ICM T34/85
Well, I managed to splash on the 4BO and then paint the tyres. There's no excuse now but to press on with the tracks. That will be a job for next week. Wish me luck! Nick- Nicko

Nick's 1/35 ICM T34/85
Managed to get a bit of primer on today in between the chores. First a nice layer of black: Once that had dried, I attempted a bit of grey pre-shade: Left it all down the workshop overnight. Might get the chance to break out the 4BO before the end of the week. Nick- Nicko

Tamiya 1/12 Kawasaki Ninja H2 Carbon
I'll follow along if that's ok. I have this one in the stash - and the H2R - but I seem to struggle to make any progress on my bike kits. I've been lucky enough to get up close and lay spanners on a few of these, including a 'carbon'. Hope you don't mind a couple of pics: Nick- Nicko
