WW2 German Fast Attack Craft, S-100 Class (Revell 1:72)
Hi ya all! Still recovering from a chest infection, so not too much happening with the Schnellboot, but I did tinker with the liferafts after seeing aftermarket versions which I am strictly trying to avoid. So I decided to invest in some scale rope of various dia’s. This is my little extra...- Snowman

WW2 German Fast Attack Craft, S-100 Class (Revell 1:72)
Hi ya all! Just a small update, its a mission to paint all these bits and pieces. Anyway, the deck is getting busy as I populate it with funnels, lockers, cleats and the like. Once everything is mounted except for the guns, and bridge, I'll start weathering lightly. Thanks for looking, till...- Snowman

WW2 German Fast Attack Craft, S-100 Class (Revell 1:72)
Hi ya all! I have mated the the decks with the hull and she is now starting to look good. Fitted the props and torpedo launchers and some other bits. As per usual little bits snap off and some running repairs will be required, but its not the end of the world. Thanks for watching, till...- Snowman

WW2 German Fast Attack Craft, S-100 Class (Revell 1:72)
Well, it turns out there is a sliding hatch for the opening…oops. Managed to put down some more paint today. Next I need to paint the props, then mount them and the main rudder. Afterwhich I will seal with a gloss coat. Just need to decide if I’m going to use MrMetal brass or Vallejo’s...- Snowman

WW2 German Fast Attack Craft, S-100 Class (Revell 1:72)
Its been a while and I have been diligently tinkering away in the back ground. Laid down some colour and started the bridge. I did notice an oddity with a large cut out in the upper deck but only a recess in the rear bulkhead. Is there a door of sorts here or can I cut it out? Some research...- Snowman

WW2 German Fast Attack Craft, S-100 Class (Revell 1:72)
Well, I have been tinkering some, yes there is flash, but hey, this is probably quite an old kit anyhow, so why complain. Initially, I started small with the stand and some bits, then I had a swing at the hull. Boy, even though this is braille scale, this pretty big for a darn torpedo boat...- Snowman

WW2 German Fast Attack Craft, S-100 Class (Revell 1:72)
Ahoy there nautical buffs, this is my first nautical venture since my mid-teens. All that time ago, I built the Bismarck and Graff Spee, so this will be new and fun. I intend to do this as an out of the box build (famous last words) as I have a terrible tendency to get too excited and purchase...- Snowman

Ducati 1199 Panigale S (Tamiya)
Wow, what a ride! I have finally completed the Ducati, it is now mounted and boxed in a manner of speaking. The final touch is something I haven't done before and looking back I can kick myself for not doing it. Here are a bunch of all round images taken before mounting and boxing the...- Snowman

Ducati 1199 Panigale S - Tamiya 1/12
Well, the build is moving along, actually quite complex for a motorcycle, but starting to look good. Here you get to see the layers going on. So much is hidden it beggars the question, why hide it, but again compared to the old 900SS and company, this is a whole different beast. This...- Snowman

Ducati 1199 Panigale S - Tamiya 1/12
Onwards at last with my build, after much procrastinating, sweating and swearing, I had to call it quits on attempting the PE chain that was in the after market kit. In the end I used the the original plastic part using Alclad steel & polished aluminium. Much better. The chain was stopping the...- Snowman

Ducati 1199 Panigale S - Tamiya 1/12
I’m back… in the famous words of Slim Shady! Well, I have laboriously dragged along with the painting and have cooked up something I like to call, “Ducati in a bowl” with a bit of an Asian twist. Couldn’t decide if I was using chop sticks or fork, so I decide to just start assembling it...- Snowman

Ducati 1199 Panigale S - Tamiya 1/12
It's been a while and I have finally assembled the disc brakes! A slow process along with having my compressor having issues of its own which required a new pressure regulator. Here are the assembled beauties! This quite an improvement over the molded parts. Till next time! :thumb2:- Snowman

Ducati 1199 Panigale S - Tamiya 1/12
Hi all, it's been a while. The modelling has been side lined by life's demands but I managed to make a start on the disc brakes and have now assembled one front brake hub. I need my head read, I forgot just how small and fiddly the bits were, but the results speak for themselves and justify my...- Snowman

Ducati 1199 Panigale S - Tamiya 1/12
Hi ya! Made a start on the 1199 engine. OMG, its world apart from the old 900SS / NCR bevel heads! Those old engines were comparable to lawnmower engines in terms of construction and complexity!:astonished: Here is an image of the NCR's engine... And here is an image of the 1199's engine...- Snowman

Completed Macross / Robotech Destroid
I finally got the photo booth assembled, and the quality of photo's achieved are spectacular in my opinion compared to earlier attempts. I call this vignette, "Overwatch". If it weren't for the UN Spacey decals this may have passed off for a BattleTech vignette. Thanks for the support and for...- Snowman

Ducati 1199 Panigale S - Tamiya 1/12
Hi ya all! It has been ages since I last built a motorcycle kit. I wanted to a simple out of the box build with no aftermarket products. Opening the box I notice the neat addition of a "Tech Tips" for novice builders, with a "bumf" sheet on the Ducati and its design and a neat instruction...- Snowman

Macross - Destroid Defender 1/72
The pattern for the camo worked out nicely, but unfortunately the crepe bandage used was too thick to suitably apply to the build. Oh well, lesson learnt. I have now officially finished the build, but have not as yet taken a decent set of photos of the completed build, so I will leave you with...- Snowman

Macross - Destroid Defender 1/72
The build continues and I'd thought that a bit extra depth was required in the form of camo netting. There are product available, but I wanted to make my own using two techniques I found. One was using crepe bandage, coloured using acrylic paints and the other was to use templates, and again I...- Snowman

Macross - Destroid Defender 1/72
Hi ya all! The base is about finished, its been a bit of a mission, but as such I am please with the results. Initially it was just getting the paving and central barrier in place. This was followed with with the street lights, some vegetation and more dust and dirt. As you can see I have...- Snowman

Macross - Destroid Defender 1/72
Thanks for the support! As my little adventure continues, I thought that I would try something different with regards to creating road surfaces. Typically I'd use Polyfilla and apply with a scraper, paint and weather accordingly. This time I decide to use Vallejo's earth texture acrylics...- Snowman
