    What's on the Bench 2023

    Some bench time again; this time progressing on another shelf of doom queen, the RE 2005 (RS models 1/72). Under a coat of black primer and ready for painting as well as a resin DB 605 engine (Aires) which should stand beside the aircraft sporting the german spinner that came with the german...

    What's on the Bench 2023

    Did some paint and detailing job on this long time stalled figure, just to remind me I'm supposed to model, not just peek at someone else's build... :rolling: I'm not a figure painter and this is my second serious attempt to a figure not directly related to another kit (crew members and/or...

    Aardman's show in Pordenone (IT)

    As I anticipated, I went to visit the Aardman show. I know it's not strictly a model show, but I think many of you will agree that that's some high class modelling with a slight difference: to many of us modelling is the end while to Aardman modelling is the mean to their end: making movies...

    What's on the Bench 2023

    I haven't been posting anything for some months as my focus was on other issues and, last but not least, my bench average temperature during winter is 6/7 °C (44 °F), which is definitely outside my comfort zone. But I haven't been totally idle and thanks to Warren's idea (LINK HERE) I made a...

    Graeme's Shaun the Sheep Land Rover. Airfix.

    Usually the farmer's Lamb Rover (pun intended but not invented) is very dirty and with a worn out look. Probably a coat of paint before weathering will ease your job. Some pics here below from the family album ;) and a 1:1 version after Bitzer and the flock car washing corvée ;) (water still...

    Model Expo Italy in Verona

    Yes, Peter. I think it's possible if you focus on your main interests and pay just a courtesy visit to the others. Anyway, a two days visit allows you to enjoy the town too, and Verona is pretty nice.

    Model Expo Italy in Verona

    Last Saturday I was In Verona at the Model Expo. It was big, bigger than last year's edition, almost chaotic I dare say, but very interesting. Here are some pics I hope you'll enjoy. Let's start with winged things:

    :tongue-out3:Ernie, were those T-boats produced by the renowned ACME Corp., the Wile E. Coyote favourite mail shop? The question comes from the peculiar torpedo releasing system, which seems designed to have the torpedo to follow the T-boat wake... :nerd: Getting my coat...:smiling4: Leaving...

    Spots on the Internet (2023)

    I built the motorizable 1/35 Tamiya Panther in the late '70s and it's not strictly 1:35 scale, probably because Tamiya needed space to put batteries, motor and gears inside. In the pic the Tamiya kit (showing not only the battle wearing I tried to simulate but also the damages inflicted by...
