Saddam’s Brolly
Scottie, Si, Mike- cheers chaps! I’ll have to try and keep the unwarranted expectoration to a minimum, shall I? Moving on to the rear access doors, I remodelled the hatch hinges, and added the pistol port covers. I also scratched up some rear fender mounting brackets (though I never intended...- Road of Bones

Jim, Steve- thanks muchly gents! The next instalment then... The forward vision port covers were the copper PE ones from the kit fret, plus some plastic kit hinges. I made the rain gullies that surround the port covers out of old PE fret: Moving on to the side of the thing, I added the hinged...- Road of Bones

Moving on... There are a couple of fuel filler caps (I think that’s what they are, anyway) on the port flank of the MT-LB, which have 3-legged frames over them, according to my ref pics. I bent some brass wire around the handle of a needle file, and soldered them thus: here they are in situ...- Road of Bones

Good to see so many of you taking the time to look in - some familiar faces, too! (Steve, Si, Jimbo, John R, Scottie, Mr T- I hadn’t quite realised how much I missed you all until now!) I had one of the placement students raid the spare conference room for some more chairs, and I filched a...- Road of Bones

Hi Scottie, good to see you again sir (your builds are better than ever, I see!). Righto then- I’ll skip some of the more obvious build stages, and get to some of the juicier scratchduggery stuff... The Skif kit actually goes together pretty well, and the thickness of the hull parts meant that...- Road of Bones

Ok then gents, time to start my first “proper“ thread on the SM forum I’m going to cheat a bit, as this was a build I blogged on a quieter forum, and I thought I would re-blog it again, as it was full of interesting challenges and new techniques that some folk might enjoy seeing. For some...- Road of Bones

BAE Warrior, 1/48, Airfix
That’s a really nice result Paul! I used a bit of clear plastic packaging to do the armoured screens around the turret, and gave them a thinned coat of clear green to get the “look”: I also made my own slat armour, but to be honest I really wouldn’t recommend it! I have an Academy Warrior in...- Road of Bones

Time to get back on the horse...
Hello everyone! Some might remember me from the “old” site. I washed up on Ghosty’s forum after the diaspora, which is a jolly nice place, for the 4 folk that visit it (sadly). I found my builds were stagnating for lack of interaction- a bit like posting your art in the Rotherham Advertiser...- Road of Bones
