    1/16 m2a2 Bradley.

    First off, I hope you all had a wonderful Xmas. Secondly, although modelling has stopped, as some of you know, I have got a new AFV...a RC 1/16 Bradley. Just some painting and a bit of detailing but no making stuff. So, I am doing stuff just not building. I managed to get the pro version for...

    Leaving the hobby.

    After thinking it over, for a while, I have finally decided to hang up the airbrush and start clearing out the workshed to re-purpose it as winter storage and summer open door relaxing. My health has severely deteriorated this past three years or so and I am just, well, knackered. Hand, joint...

    Going back to sci-fi.

    As many of you know, I do RC tanks and sunken junk but, I have made many other things in the past and...I am thinking of doing the Falcon chased by tie fighters in the asteroid belt. I will fit lights and a base etc. I am sourcing parts and seeing if this is a viable thing for me to do.

    Meng World War Toon PIV

    This past week I have working on a model that a friend kindly sent me from the Tank Museum. A Meng, World War Toon Panzer IV. Easy to do and assemble, I ended up having to use some glue in places, supposed to be click fit and just did basic clean up work. Was a nice little build and enjoyed...

    1/72 Revell Flower Class Corvette-rusty-crusty.

    This was a RC version that was the original Matchbox kit. She was in a very poor state and there was no way that she could have been saved, parts missing and the plastic deteriorating. So, I decided to have a crack doing the HMS Compass Rose from the film The Cruel Sea, well, her final resting...

    1/72 Flower Class 'Compass Rose'.

    I have a old Matchbox kit, made up with a lot if pieces missing and thought it would something different if I attempted my 'rusty-crusty'. Now this is a part built, ex RC build and is not easy to work on but I shall give it a go. Not sure if this will look better, being a larger size than the...

    Harrogate model and engineering show

    Due to weather, me and a fellow club weather decided to not risk travelling up for set up day (today) and then risk trying to travel there and back tomorrow. So, that means no show for us. We are disappointed and I think a member isn't too happy with us but I have to think of me, also my back...

    1/16 M41 Walker Bulldog mid 70's Danish defence force version.

    Something different from the workbench. This is a M41 Walker Bulldog but, it is a mid 70's Danish Defence force version. In the mid to late 60's the US supplied Nato members with tanks and many received the good old Bully. The Danish ran these with some small modifications from the 70's and...

Anyway, I spotted it and managed to get another tank with bits missing but, not the parts I...
