    Impasse

    OK. Box is finished (rough and ready but it will all be covered and strengthened when I add the rocks using Hard as Nails and more plaster of Paris). I can start with the groundworks when the PVA has set. And the reason I have to get the vacuum cleaner out once the neighbours are up and...

    Impasse

    Got the box done. Stuck with PVA glue with dressmaking pins pushed in at various angles to hold the sides in place (they will be removed later): The PVA was splashed on and spread about more or less evenly using one of my superb brushes: Once the PVA has dried I got to do some mejurin'...

    Impasse

    Most of my dios have unfinished sides and edges. I'm going to try and produce something a bit tidier and with that in mind, I need to build a box. I have a piece of 6mm MDF for a base and I'll use some 10mm extruded foam for the sides. As the foam will have to support the rocks made from...

    Impasse

    I still haven't worked out a way to build the tracks on my little fire engine, so just as a little diversion, I've come back to my favourite sort of build - a diorama. I built the figures for this some years ago and I've worked out the best way to show them over the last few days. I won't show...

    Gern's Emergency services GB - Chat thread

    Tricky one that Steve. Eight figures would normally definitely constitute a diorama - but what if they're soldiers sitting in the back of a troop carrier sat on a road? It would also depend on how much scenery you put on your base. The problem with this sort of idea is that your model would be...

    Gern's Revell 1/35 GTK Boxer sgSanKfz

    OK folks. This will be my entry for this GB. I'll post proper sprue shots when I start the build.

    Gern's 1/72 PST PMZ-2 Fire Engine

    Nearly there! Just a couple of extra bits plus the tracks to do (and a few bits of touch up paint)

    999 GB

    Those watching the half-track GB will know I'm working on an old Russian fire engine (I'll have some pics later today). While in 'fire engine' mode, I had a thought for a GB topic. As the title suggests, what about a build for any vehicle which would answer a 999 emergency call - or the...

    Gern's 1/72 PST PMZ-2 Fire Engine

    Got the chassis ready for paint: Many thanks to Dave Ward for sending me pics of the cab layout on his 1/35 version. I've added three levers - gear stick, handbrake (from Dave's pictures) and a shifter to switch the diff. from tracks to water pump (pure guesswork on my part). I have no idea...

    Gern's 1/72 PST PMZ-2 Fire Engine

    This any good Rick?

    Gern's 1/72 PST PMZ-2 Fire Engine

    You can breath again Rick. Not only did I find the parts, but I also fixed the broken bit. It's also starting to look a bit fire enginy after a bit of paint: Looks like I missed a bit inside the cab but I'll sort that with my next lot of red.

    Gern's 1/72 PST PMZ-2 Fire Engine

    Managed to find this: I've found the parts for the pump, but naturally that arm at the botton is broken. I've got the broken bit so I should be able to fix it. Onwards and upwards .....

    Gern's 1/72 PST PMZ-2 Fire Engine

    I mentioned there was some sort of trailer with a hose reel included in the kit. Turns out it's not a separate trailer but attached to the rear of the truck: This kit shows it attached to a normal truck with a double cab, but according to the blurb on the box, the same set up was installed on...

    Gern's P-51 Mustang

    I got a bit of detail painted too: Still not totally accurate, but a little closer.

    PJ's P-51 Mustang

    Some detail painting done: Not accurate, but sometimes it's hard to get PJ to pick up a paint brush. He's much happier fixing bits together with the brush in his Tamiya extra thin!

    PJ's Italeri 1/35 Demag D7 with Flak 38

    PJ got some more done to this when he came round on Monday: You may notice that the front shield attachment points are both missing from those curved arms at the top. They broke off when PJ cut the parts from the sprue. I've suggested he paints the shields and fixes the attachment points to...

    Gern's 1/72 PST PMZ-2 Fire Engine

    Made a little more progress on this. I was originally going to use brass tube for the support posts. I'm not a massive fan of CA so I tried two-part Gorilla epoxy to fix them. I think the attachment points are too small as they fell off when I picked them up after leaving them overnight to...
