Latest Acquisitions (2021)
I have been looking for a modern tipper truck for a while now and there did not seem to be any in 1/35 but I found this in 1/32. I wanted it for a dio I have in mind for the future when my skills hopefuly improve, so I put in an offer and it was delivered today. No obvious sign on the box it is... -

1/35 Mirror Models Diamond T dump truck.
I am calling this done now. With a bit more effort it could have looked better but I felt the need to move on to something else, or perhaps finish the other 2 models on the bench. Andy.- outrunner

You guys will know.
Having never made any WW2 British trucks before can someone point me to the correct colour for cab interiors please, I presume olive drab as the only picture I have found is just that and I wondered if that was it. Andy.- outrunner

1/35 Miniart Lanz Bulldog tractor.
While having a break from the truck I had a look in here. Looking at the instructions and the sprues I figured that this would be another build fraught with very small fragile parts. The top left is actually one sprue cut in half to fit in the small box. On studying the contents I became...- outrunner

Making masks for wiper sweep on windscreens.
Any short cuts or easy way to make the above and which masking tape is best? I was playing about for a while earlier and can not seem to get it right. Andy.- outrunner

1/35 Mirror Models Diamond T dump truck.
I tried a bit of chipping and scuffing up the tipper but I think I may have to redo it as I am not happy with it right now. I think I left the paint too long to get the best effect from it. I really must get some oils to play with, still, with a dust coat over the whole model it might look OK...- outrunner

Iwata Eclipse HP-CS
Just had a go with my new Eclipse airbrush that I got for a present at Xmas. I only used it to put a bit of primer on the truck but I am well pleased with it as it is such a nice thing to use compared to the cheapie I have been using. The coverage is great, I had a play on a sheet of plastic and... -

1/35 Mirror Models Diamond T dump truck.
Many thanks for the comments chaps, makes me feel I am getting there with this modelling stuff. I built up part of the cab internals tonight, a slow job as most of the bits needed a bit of fettling. I was going for a slightly worn and dusty look but I am not sure if it OK but once the cab is...- outrunner

1/35 Mirror Models Diamond T dump truck.
This will be up next to take my mind off tanks. I have put it in civilian trucks as I am not going to do it in olive drab like the box art. There are 12 sprues, clear parts and a sheet of PE. Instructions seem clear enough but there is no sprue diagrams in there and the sprue numbers are so...- outrunner

Paint storage rack.
I spent a bit of time today making up a rack to tidy up my paint and pigment collection, I know it's not a large amount but it was getting a pain with the stuff lying about and getting knocked over. I know you can buy them but I had some hardboard and 10mm square stripwood so I gave it a go. I...- outrunner

Latest Acquisitions (2020)
Busy day today, posted one parcel and took delivery of two. Having had a peek in the box it looks like it will live up to the makers name and keep me amused for a while. Now the other one is a bit of a strange purchase for me, after giving up building and flying r/c aircraft I reckoned I was... -

Rye Field Models M1 A2 SEP V2 Abrams.
After the untimely demise of the Lotus under my big feet I have decided to make a start on this. Sprue shots. And an envelope containing PE and some small decals. Looking at the pictures I really should have taken the sprues out of the bags but it's too late now. There are 9 pages of...- outrunner

Keeping spare bits.
Just wondering how you guys handle spare bits that you have, left overs from various models etc. I just throw all bits into an old kit box but I have only been back at it for about a year. Perhaps it would make sense to keep stuff separate, what is the collective view on this? I know, I really...- outrunner

Ebbro Lotus type 49C.
I spent a bit of time looking through some bits I ordered for the construction of the engine, wire for plug leads, fuel tubing and some paints I needed, but now I would like some opinions/advice. This is the distributor cap with the wire leads inserted, I used 0.4mm wire as specified on the...- outrunner

Ebbro Lotus type 49C.
Here goes. Sprue shots. I reckon a lot of that chrome will have to go as there would not be a lot of chrome on a race car that was built to be light, anyway, I think a nice alloy/silver would be best. Some fine detail on the parts. I don't think I have ever seen tyres like this, there is...- outrunner

Postie brought me some tools today. [ Been meaning to get some etch tools for a while now and I have 2 kits with a lot of etch so I bit the bullet and bought these. The pin vice is to replace the one I had that has vanished. I am sure a relative of the carpet monster comes to visit and leaves... -

Which is the best?
Starting to stock up with kits for over winter, I know, I know winter is a while away but one of the things I fancy is a Merkava mk4. What does the collective reckon is the best version? I have looked at reviews and there are good things said about both the Meng and Hobbyboss versions but there...- outrunner
