    Got some bits from Santa.

    With Xmas behind us and the New Year just beginning I went and sorted out my workshed and some new bits I got. I got a couple of model kits, the Airfix 1/72 Tiger and their classic range the 1/72 tank transporter. Now, me and braille scale do struggle now but I am determined to have a crack at...

    Diagnosis.

    Had some more x-rays on my knees and they have confirmed that my arthritis has gotten worse. Tearing and fluid build up also. Self referring to MSK and see what they say. Cannot kneel, pain when bending and pain when lying down, can't win LOL. Coupled with hand pain and my disabilities I...

    ALUMINUM AIRCRAFT PARTS.

    I have been messing around with a old kaput laptop, stripped it and decided to use the aluminium casing from the DVD player to have a go at making some shot and crashed aircraft parts for our clubs 1/16 RC military vehicle 'village'. I cleaned the ali, the primed in a light gray primer, once...

    1/16 M41 'GORILLA' MGC 'SMOKY JOE'S'

    I am calling this one done. I tapped some brass tube and fashioned the tightening bolt from a bolt epoxied into a hub cab (see front top hull area), this now fastens it better as it was flopping around. Final piece was a scratched made intercom box with mouthpiece and headphones, managed to...

    1/16 M41 'GORILLA' MGC

    Although this is a tracked piece and is armoured I think it is better suited to this section. I am working on a 3D printed top hull of a M41 'GORILLA' Motor Gun Carriage. This is the granddaddy of all the US tracked artillery pieces, it was the first and was developed at the back end of WW2...

    1/16 DIORAMA PIECES FOR THE RC 'VILLAGE'

    Hi guys. I have now finished the wood store and it is to go with the metal brazier, and broken crate with some figures-all these set pieces will then go next to a barn or such like in the larger diorama of the 1/16 'village'.

    1/16 WOOD STORE

    I headed into this thinking it would be a straight forward build...you know, like the kaput, rotten box build I did was to supposed to be :smiling: Anyway, I actually sat down and pondered over this for a while after talking to a friend who does outdoor wood structures. He said that a proper...

    1/16 Continental Coastal/Canal Barge.

    Calling this done (there are some figures and some small accessories to add when they come). But, the main boat and the fitments are all finished. So, here she is 'JOANNE' named after my wife...I am aware that my wife's name now adorns a rusty, old, barge...any similarity is purely...

    1/16 BARGE FOR CANAL PROP.

    This is a scratch built 1930's European style canal and coastal barge, they are unpowered and are horse drawn on the canals. Once near the sea they are taken by a tug around the coast to a port for resupply. The boat has a powered winch and basic navigation lights that are run from a onboard...

    1/16 SCRATCH MADE ALL METAL BRAZIER

    Something to keep my lickle soldiers warm when we have our open days. Built over a week and is a major contributor to severe hand pain. It is made from various bits/spares and is all metal apart from the battery tealight. And seen as I haven't done any heavy weathering for a while...yep, rusted!

    BROKEN CRATE.

    This ended up a three day build, mainly due to my joint and muscle pain. I decided to use up some of the coffee stirrers, lollipop sticks etc and decided to make a crate. The intention, was to make a good, nice, looking crate to house some equipment-it went wrong due to my hands :angry...

    FLAGPOLE FOR MILITARY RC 'VILLAGE' OR TABLE.

    I got a wooden conductor's baton-just did, cos you never know when stuff might come in useful :thumb2::smiling2: Anyway, I was looking at it and thought about making a flagpole for use as a table item or for our 1/16/1/18 RC military vehicles 'village'. So, routing through the bits/spares...

    MORE 1/16 ITEMS FOR RC TANK VILLAGE-CHURCH BITS.

    Some more items for our 1/16 rc tank village. These are some items for the church, instead of just a building planked I wanted a church-yard with some graves and tombstones-not super detailed as they do not need to be as most folk will seeing them from 10ft away.

    1/16 WATER PUMP OVERFLOW WELL.

    Hi chaps, again I can only apologise for not being on as much I should. Anyhow, I am still making stuff although it is very slow now. I made a scenery piece for our RC tank village for our clubs home and away event-fingers crossed we will be back to them next year. It is made from some model...

    FREE SCALE MOON CAPSULE.

    After many a week of feeling poorly and two falls I have finally managed to finish off my version of a moon capsule with service module/engines. I do mainly RC tanks now but with supplies low and not being able to do anything I went back to basics and just scratch built from junk. It isn't meant...

    1/16 water pump feature.

    Hi guys. Well, another piece for our RC village, this time water pump and basin feature, made from scrap metal parts, RC parts and just general bits in the spares box.

    SPRING WATER FEATURE.

    Hi fellas. While faffing with another project and routing in the spares box I found some pieces from years ago that I decided to make it a water feature for our clubs 1/16 RC military section village-nothing fancy just a floor filler. It was a old soap dish that was broken, so I salvaged it...

    MY VERSION ON A MANNED LUNAR ORBITER.

    Hi guys. I have really gone back to my basic scratch making and adapting model making-I.E making stuff from junk. I decided to have a got at, what I thought, would be a straight forward project-making a slightly different Apollo and the new Orion manned Moon capsule that is small and fits on a...

    RC HOVERCRAFT

    As some of you may know, I used to do RC boats but had to stop due to disabilities and dropping incidents-one reason I ended up doing RC tanks. But...I got hold of a RC hovercraft, she is built but needs some TLC-the skirt needs replacing and the motors/blades axis needs sorting. I have the...

    1/16-1/18 garage for 1/16 RC tanks and vehicles.

    Our club does 1/16 RC tanks and vehicles and we have various buildings-simple to put up and put away however, we supplement these simple structures by adding items of our own. I have done a few and so have other members for our 'little village' so, to go with a basic building that is done as a...
