    Calling this one done. A relatively simple, quick build. P

    Si B’s BM-8-24 Self-Propelled Rocket Launcher. Miniart 1/35

    Managed to get some paint on. Used a mig Ammo modulation set I had….quite garish at this stage but it’ll tone down once weathered. And rockets, lots of rockets……base coated in light grey ready for decals.

    Si B’s BM-8-24 Self-Propelled Rocket Launcher. Miniart 1/35

    Thanks very much chaps, much appreciated 😊 It’s done, pretty much. Just a few more rockets to glue the fins on. The rocket rail assembly is loose to make painting easier.

    Si B’s BM-8-24 Self-Propelled Rocket Launcher. Miniart 1/35

    Cheers chaps 👍. Got my finger out over the week and motored on with the tracks, which took about 2 hours to clean up and fit…went together surprisingly well. The rest went on over the weekend.

    Cheers chaps 👍 Carried on with assembly of the interior adding the last few bits and bobs and gluing it all together.

    Si B’s BM-8-24 Self-Propelled Rocket Launcher. Miniart 1/35

    Got busy with the airbrush this weekend. Everything was primed with Mr something-or-other then the engine was sprayed with Tamiya Chrome silver and the floor and sides with a mix of buff and flat white. Once that had dried I picked out some of the details with a paint brush and then the...

    Si B’s BM-8-24 Self-Propelled Rocket Launcher. Miniart 1/35

    Got a good amount of the interior pieced together. Forgot just how many small parts it had but worth the effort. Miniart have done a cracking job with this 👍

    Si B’s BM-8-24 Self-Propelled Rocket Launcher. Miniart 1/35

    Construction started with the hull bottom. Some lovely detail moulded on. Added first are covers over the suspension, some pedals and transmission box. ​​​​​​

    Si B’s BM-8-24 Self-Propelled Rocket Launcher. Miniart 1/35

    Better late then never….managed to unpack the contents 😳 Quite a few of the same sprue’s and noticed there are two upper decks (2nd pic) The multiple sprue’s are for tracks, wheels and rockets…

    The runner beans are still flowing and we’ve had yet another round of runner beans!! Easily half a kilo picked over the last 10 days and fingers crossed if the rest continues to develop probably the same again 👍

    Si B’s Vespid 1/72 British cruiser tank A-34 Comet Mk 1A

    After letting everything dry for a few days, I finally got some bench time and began weathering this morning. Used a few enamel products to give it a pin wash and some filters. The commander was painted up, I think he’ll pass 🤔 I think it needs some stowage of some sort and some...

    This is taking a. Lot longer to build then I thought!

    We had a lovely day weather wise and I was lucky enough that I had enough free time to get in the garden for a tidy up. I’m amazed that so many plants are still active this late into the year and I’m still picking fruit. Another hand full of Cherry toms and more still ripening. Getting a good...

    Si B’s BM-8-24 Self-Propelled Rocket Launcher. Miniart 1/35

    The kit arrived this afternoon via Amazon. Popped it open for sprue shots and now I remember why it’s not a good idea to unpack this lot before you’re ready to tackle it! So here’s how a bundle of sprues still in one box shaped bag look 🤣 I have a small kit on the build at the mo so it’ll...

    Si B’s Vespid 1/72 British cruiser tank A-34 Comet Mk 1A

    In between cooking a roast dinner for the family I managed to get the markings on and flick the hairy stick over some of the details, wheels and track. Once it’s all dry I’ll get the weathering started and I’ll do the BTR 4E while I’ve got the weathering stuff out…. Thanks for looking 👍

    Si B’s BM-8-24 Self-Propelled Rocket Launcher. Miniart 1/35

    This will be my entry for Lee’s Rocket/missile GB. It will be a few day before I start as I only just ordered it. This wasn’t my first choice but I didn’t fancy another truck build and this was £23 from Amazon! I’ve built the Miniart T60 before and thoroughly enjoyed it…. Hope I can do...
