    McFarlane/Warhammer 40K Ultramarine

    This figure has sat in my cupboard for a couple of years now and I keep meaning to drag it out and start. Now is an ideal time between GB’s as my desk is clear, apart for some Perry 28mm acw Union Cavalry. McFarlane do produce fully painted versions but I wanted to do my own. I obtained some 3D...

    Airfix 1/72 Focke-Wulf Fw190A-8

    More progress today thanks to awful weather. First time using AK putty for masking and was impressed with the stuff. Carried on and got the decals on. Hopefully tomorrow I can seal it all in ready for weathering. Flying stand has also been assembled.

    Airfix 1/72 Focke-Wulf Fw190A-8

    Welcome along Mike The heads up on certain bits has been useful so far. Had a few fit issues but nothing a bit of patience and not rushing on too fast paid off so far. There are several bits of tidying up to do before undercoat. I’ve somehow lost the cockpit pic but now it’s buttoned up you...

    Airfix 1/72 Focke-Wulf Fw190A-8

    With my Eagle finished and the decalling of my Dakota underway I needed another quickish build. This kit has had some mixed reviews but we’ll see. Oob with only swastikas added. It will be built wheels up on a stand.

    Mick's Eagle Transporter space 1999. MPC 1/32

    Despite being on nights I've actually managed to make some progress. I haven't done as many of the random panels as shown on the box but all the masking was mind numbing :smiling: If you're rich and can afford the special edition 1/48 Eagle it comes with a set of cartagraphic decal set with...

    Mick's Eagle Transporter space 1999. MPC 1/32

    Thanks everyone glad to have so many dropping in to my slow build. I’ve now dismantled the box as it contains the painting guide of sorts and some decal placement. The craft has a number of light grey painted panels spread randomly over it. The 1/48 scale model has a sheet of decals for this...

    Which tank?

    I was watching a review and build of an Eagle when the guy started talking about the sci fit modellers back in the day who would kit bash models from available shop bought kits. He went on to point out how this had been replicated on the kits. Unfortunately I had progressed slightly further on...
