Bronco 1:35 A34 Comet
My first foray into the world of Bronco kits - this one was a pleasure to build pretty much OOB with no real fit issues and reasonable (if not great) one-piece tracks. Only additions are the mantlet cover and rolled cam net from green-stuff putty. The cam net was necessary to hide a mess of...- wasdale32

Is "Scale-Effect" a myth?
Ok - This might be opening a proverbial can of worms but I've been following a thread on another platform where there is a debate running as to whether colour perception is influenced by scale. To put it in other words - "if I paint my full size xxx in a specific colour and my 1:35 / 1:48 /... -

Trumpeter 1:35 T-90S - Indian Army
Not sure if I really enjoyed building this - it was a mix of over-engineered PE parts such as the 90+ bolt head discs to glue to the turret (when they could have easily moulded them on) and fairly crude parts such as the ERA on the turret. There are no real positive mounts for the ERA so...- wasdale32

Tamiya Valentine Mk II (1:35)
Tamiya Valentine Mk II (1:35) built pretty much OOB apart from using Bronco individual link tracks, which I had sitting around from an auction lot, and a bit of stowage. Waiting for the crew and a base. This is a really nice kit of an early WW2 British classic - just wish there were more...- wasdale32

Tamiya Churchill Mk VII Gun Tank - Normandy 1944
Hi - Snagged this on EBay for a tenner - Worth it for the figure set alone. Built in a couple of days. No tracks or decals included but robbed a set of tracks from an AFV Club kit in my stash (I have Fruils for the MK III). Undecided on unit marking as yet. Paint is Ammo MIG British Olive...- wasdale32

Cammo netting?
Depends a lot on the period that you're trying to replicate - WW2 cam netting was fairly basic scrim netting with foliage or hessian strips tucked into it - that is well represented by the gauze already mentioned. Modern cam such as "Barracuda" tends to be die-cut fabric rather than netting - I...- wasdale32

Tamiya Abrams M1A2 - TUSK I+
Hi First attempt at modern US armour ( or should that be "armor") - Tamiya M1A2 Abrams Tusk I - should have been Tusk II but the "K" sprue was missing. Built OOB apart from scratchbuilt stowage and non-skid coating from self-adhesive aluminium plumbers tape textured over sandpaper. Optics are...- wasdale32

PanzerTurm on Gothic Line - Italy 1944
Hi What do you do when you have a spare Panther turret? I suppose you do what the Germans did and build a "PantherTurm" The turret is a Zvezda Panther Ausf D left over when I built a Panther Coelian AA conversion and the figure is from MiniArt Inspired by the first two pictures:- wasdale32

14th Century Italian Knight (Verlinden 120mm)
Hi - picked this up as part of an auction lot - not my usual era but it made a change to do something where I didn't have to worry about the face! Painted using various MIG & Vallejo acrylics - main challenge was to get a bit of variation in the colour of the armour Mark- wasdale32

120mm figure from Mitches Military Models of Sgt J G Mather MM G Squadron SAS (Royal Signals) during the Falklands War of 1982. Based on a painting by Peter Archer. Painted with a mixture of MIG, Vallejo & Tamiya acrylics. Replaced the resin base as it didn't "feel right". (Constructive)...- wasdale32

1:35 Panther "Coelian"
Hi this is the Panther "Coelian" - a proposed answer to the challenge of providing the German army with a mobile Flak platform with a fully enclosed turret to protect the crew. In fact it barely made it off the drawing board as it didn't get beyond a single prototype with a wooden mock-up...- wasdale32

What do you do with waste sprue?
Hi don't know if this has been asked before but what do people do with waste sprue? During Covid lockdown I've accumulated quite a lot. Do you chuck it in the recycling bin (UK) or the non recyclables? I know it can be used for "liquid sprue" filler but I don't need 3 gallons of the stuff... -

Italeri Sherman M32 ARV - "Junkyard Find"
Hi no build log but I thought I'd post the completed article. Its the Italeri M32 from way back in 1980 - picked up from a fellow club member for a fiver. It isn't a great kit and the accuracy is doubtful but it was a good basis for the "abandoned vehicle" techniques. Paints are a mix of...- wasdale32
