    What goes bang just after the warranty runs out?

    Answer = My Lap Top. Hi all, i'm back up and running with a new lap top. Had to save up for it thats why i've not been on, my phone goes on the net but i can't use it with my fat fingers. My old lap top's cpu fan decided to retire and cook the lot, i now have an Acer but more importantly, i'm...

    CRASH Completed - 'Ditched & in trouble'

    Here we go, all finished and looking very wet (well, he will be). If i do this again (no if about it) i'll not seal the base with Klear, thats why it's gone a little white. I've made a story to go with this too. We'd been in the air for about 45 minutes on a routine patrol, from Biggin Hill to...

    Tamiya Sherman 1/35

    Hi all, this one has been on the bench for a few weeks now and i'm sorry it's done. I've enjoyed building it so much, thats Tamiya for you. Built straight out the box with just a few things added on to make it look busy. I did go airbrush mad on this though (only because i've got the ultrasonic...

    Centurion3RTR's "Ditched"

    Hi all, after a good long think about this build (and not forgetting the three models i brought :fool:) i've decided to pull something from my stash. I can't justify cutting into one of the new models as it's just a nice little kit (1937 Opel Olympia), and the other idea i had would't go with...

    For the Wife. Tamiya Tiger 1

    Hi all, here we have my latest. Tiger 1 (another one lol) from Tamiya, and a joy to build. This one was built under orders from the wife, so fitted it with PE zimmerit from Eduard. When i finished putting all the zim on i flowed very thin super glue all over the PE to give it a more scale...

    Rough But Ready, Tamiya's SAS Jeep

    Hi all, as you can see i have my mojo back and it's staying. Reet, the Jeep is from Tamiya but the guns, fuel tanks and rucksacks are from Italeri's Commando car. I'm building the Italeri for something else and it still has all the parts in the box to build a standard Jeep. The Tamiya Jeep...

    I've gone Cuckoo

    Hi all What i've done here though is built it as if it didn't breakdown, the Coldstream Guards got some more spares and it went on to the end of the war. Plus i had the idea of doing "Cuckoo" half way through the build lol. Right, the kit. Tamiya Panther "G" fitted with Eduard photo etch...

    1940's On The Home Front, Picture Heavy

I think Peter (PJP) will be happy too, i got some pics of the Ambulance he was interested in from last year, the engine bay is of a Jeep (just so happens i have one...

    Italeri 1/35 scale Staghound

    Here we have six months of bench time, i started this built the hull then stopped. I was fed up with the fit of parts until i found out it was me at fault, using super glue is ok until you need to reposition said parts. So it's been sat there for six months looking at me. With me working on the...

    What "is" flying over your house, now you know.

    Hi all, following on from the "What flew over your house (yesterday)" thread i'd thought i would post this nice little site up. Was sent to me a few days ago and i can't keep of it. Looking at it this morning and told the wife "looks like a BA 747 is going over" a minute later you heard it...

    "If in doubt, flat out". Centurion3RTR

    Hi all, the only green and brown in this build is the scenery. Got to be a good lad because it's not armour so got to keep it clean (what have i let myself in for). Right, the subject. Colin McRae was a legend and i thought it was time i did a little tribute to this great man, plus it was time i...

    Fritz and Chips, Academy Tiger

    Hi all, this is the Academy 1/35 Tiger. Was a joy to build with nothing to go wrong, i added the PE grills from the Italeri Tiger (have plans for the Italeri so didn't need them). The painting on the was a frist as i used Winsor & Newton masking fluid for the paint chips, i pre-rusted the model...

    Word of warning

    Hi all, a little story for you. When i was a kid i could roller skate, i did it every weekend until i was 16 or something. Loved it, but just did it to keep in shape and thats all. Now, my daughter needed something to keep fit while at university and has decided to take up roller derby (yeah...

    Normandy, how i should of built it.

    Hi all, after my feeble attempt Normandy GB (which was shocking to say the least) i thought i'd build something a little better than the someone stood in a cemetery. Plus, it's amazing what you can do when the Playstation network is down lol. Here we go then, it's the Tamiya 1/35 Centaur...

    Good news, Bad news

    Hi all, back but not for long. At home we've had a BIG problem as you can see from the photo, this is why i've not been on and not doing any modelling. I've got a Panther G in bits and the Normandy build on the bench and can't get in to it because of all the stuff in the way. 'Bad news' Over...

    Cent's Normandy GB, "Remember Good Friends"

    Hi all, i've been thinking a lot for this GB about all the work that went into the D-Day landings, the vehicles, the men. I was going to build a Tiger that i have in my stash (one of many lol) but the only one that springs to mind is of Michael Wittmann's Tiger 007, to be honest that Tiger has...

    Me and the wife is going to Lincoln tomorrow to see our daughter at university but before we go i'd like to know is there any model shops? I can't seem to find any so a street name would be nice too, but please don't tell the wife, she think we're going for a walk and a bit of shopping. Have...

    Having fun, yeah right!!!

    Hi all, first i'd like to apologise for not being on for a while, having problems with the computer so it looks like a reformat I've had a look at what folks have been up to but using a playstation to browse the web that doesn't have a keyboard can be a little awkward to say the lease. This is...
