    Daimler Armoured Car Mk.I - 1/72 - IBG

    As already mentioned, the kit offers four painting options: F1292727 of the 1st Polish Armored Division, 1943 (I have no information on this). F207881 "Calamite" of the 1st Belgian Brigade (Brigade Piron), Armored Car Squadron 2nd Troop, Belgium 1944. The decals for the Belgian seem okay so...

    Daimler Armoured Car Mk.I - 1/72 - IBG

    Hello, This is the next project that made it to the workbench. In addition to this Mk.I, IBG now also has the "Sawn off" (i.e. a Mk.I without a turret) and the Mk.II has also been announced. This kit comes with a whole bunch of small sprues, including a complete interior for the hull and...

    I just had to get this set off eBay. It was a bargain. After I bought the set, the seller wrote to me and offered me a few more things - also at a bargain price... A vicious circle! :smiling5:

    FV107 Scimitar Mk.II CVR(T) - 1/72 - Fore Hobby

    Okay, I did it. The turret has even more details than the hull. I'm curious how I'm going to paint this without touching anything and breaking it off... :thinking:

    Andi's 1/144 Zvezda Hurricane Mk.I

    Thanks Andy, as always I see a lot of things that I'm not so happy with. Still, it's just time to get the little thing ready before it starts to get dusty. I painted a few more details and gave the plane some matt varnish. I'm also trying to make an antenna out of my wife's hair... Just normal...

    Beaverette Mk.III Bren MG turret series - 1/72 - (Fylde Armouries) - in British & Irish Service

    Thank you very much Tim. Thanks for looking and the kind words Lee. Hello Jakko, I know the British regulations, thank you. I don't have the Starmer books, but I do have for example this series: But thanks for the tip, I'll do some research about the Starmer books (of course I know some of...

    Andi's 1/144 Zvezda Hurricane Mk.I

    Hello, unfortunately, I'm very busy at the moment and have very little time for model building. But something is finally happening with the Mini Hurricane. I tried to create some subtle color contrasts and a wash of detail using oil paints. A few more details and some matt varnish and then I'll...

    Modelling with non-modelling tools ...

    A "tool" that I don't want to miss anymore - a Toffifee packaging. The good thing about this color palette is you don't have to clean it, just eat more candy when you need a new one. :tears-of-joy:

    Beaverette Mk.III Bren MG turret series - 1/72 - (Fylde Armouries) - in British & Irish Service

    Beaverette Mk.III Bren MG turret series - 1/72 - (Fylde Armouries) - in British & Irish Service Hello, I just realized that I haven't shown you my other two Beaverette Mk.IIIs yet. These are also 3d printed. The files come from "Fylde Armories" and were modified and scaled to 1/72 by me. A...

    AEC Armoured Regal Bus - 1/72 - (Fylde Armouries) - London Passenger Transport Board Home Guard Hello, It took a while, but here are finally the pictures of my finished armoured bus. The vehicle is 3d printed, the files come from "Fylde Armouries" and were slightly modified by me and reduced to...

    AEC Armoured Regal Bus - 1/72 - Fylde Armouries

    John, thank you very much again. However, the award comes too soon - I'm not finished yet and I can still screw it up! :smiling5: Thank you very much Lee. Thank you very much! And again, thank you so much. I think this is my last post here, hopefully next time I will have the “box”...

    Latest Acquisitions (2024)

    Ok, as always it all starts with me needing something small - a paint, a brush or something like that. This time it was glue and cleaner. Since I live in the middle of nowhere, there are no local model shops, so I have to order the things. So it only makes sense to order a few other things at...

    Andy T's Arma Hobby 1/48 Mk llc Trop

    Andy, she looks great! There are countless photos of the SAAF No.1 Squadron with such exhaust traces. I think they're very well done. :thumb2: (hijacking your thread with an evidence photo) ;)

    Scotties Bergpanzer Buffalo.

    Exactly. Here is a photo of one of the two Canadian Buffalo conversions. The armor is slightly different to the later German one, but the principle is the same. Although different armor (light and heavy) can be mounted on the sides, this does not change the vehicle front of the Bergepanzer 3A1.

    AEC Armoured Regal Bus - 1/72 - Fylde Armouries

    OK done! Although it may not look like it, this was by far the most difficult camouflage paint job I have ever done on a vehicle. The slanted perspective of the photos is incredibly difficult to transfer to the model. I printed out the photos at 1:72 scale and greatly enlarged another set. I...

    AEC Armoured Regal Bus - 1/72 - Fylde Armouries

    Hello, Yesterday I actually had some time to start painting. After priming with Black AK Primer, a coat of Khaki Green No.3 from AK Real Colors followed. To make all the large areas a little more interesting, I lightened the base color with a few drops of ivory and tried a color modulation. One...

    Andi's 1/144 Zvezda Hurricane Mk.I

    Of course you are both right! But I just can't help it... :smiling5: Now the whole thing has to dry, then there are a few places who need some touch-ups. And then it's finally time for a few (very few) signs of weathering with oil paints. Best regards, Andreas

    Andi's 1/144 Zvezda Hurricane Mk.I

    Thanks Lee. I actually turned in the rear flaps a little bit down. That was the first thing I noticed in many hurricane photos. Hello Steve, that was also my first impression when I looked at a few photos. That's why I only folded in the stern rudders a little at first. But then I found a photo...
