Jim's 1/35 Trumpeter Sd.Kfz 7/1
Jim, a nice and neat work. Almost a pity to cover it with paint.:thumb2: I'm always surprised how other modeller's PE parts stick together apparently effortlessly while I usually end my sessions with large marks of CA everywhere but on the parts I was trying to join, not to talk about the...- Andy the Sheep

Latest Acquisitions (2022)
My Black Friday box has just arrived I was looking for the paints and the drill set, then I saw the pliers (-10%) and the 1:48 Hobby 2000 Hurricane (kit by Hasegawa, Cartograf decals + masks and 20% rebate) and the mouse clicked almost by itself... :rolling: After COVID years my will is more...- Andy the Sheep

Dave I followed your build with great interest and the result is really nice. :thumb2: Considering the efforts you made and the long struggle with a very complex kit, I hope you'll appreciate this small award. :tongue-out3: I used to give it at work to humorously reward those who managed to...- Andy the Sheep

Spots on the Internet (2022)
Following the link to the 1:16 Willis crew posted by Lee I noticed this "coming soon" motorized cutter: not cheap (399 USD as entry level supporter of the project!) but a nice piece of technology.- Andy the Sheep

Trumpeter 1/48 SM 79 Sparviero.
Barry, a very neat and fine build, as per your standards. Looking forward to your next builds, especially the B17. :cool: I was staggering on the edge of the minefield of the colour discussion: Italian Armed Forces colour during WW2 is a topic which still cause violent blood feuds on Italian...- Andy the Sheep

Traditional nautical tattoos
Tattoos are really older than that. The tattoos here below are from a man known as Oetzi (see wikipedia for further details) who lived some 3100 years B.C. He (or his mummy to be more precise) was found in 1991 under the ice on the high mountains on the border between Austria and Italy. At the...- Andy the Sheep

What's on the bench 2022
Slowly returning to cutters, glues and files with the Centauro Turret almost complete, upper hull waiting for the mojo to fully build up again (I'll have to fix the PE parts; my first go at them caused my temporary "allergy" to PE :sick:), lower hull waiting for a set of weighted resin wheels...- Andy the Sheep

AK Interactive Real color, anyone used them?
I've been testing some AK real colours recently. I airbrushed them after thinning to milk consistence and here are the results (model was just a test-bed) The colours were sprayed over a thin layer of red primer (Titans Hobby, an Italian brand associated to Ammo of Mig). No final coat (no clear...- Andy the Sheep

What's on the bench 2022
I used this old Airfix 1:72 Hurricane as a test bed for my new AK real colour paints. I also tried a mixed version of the roundels: blue painted and red decals. AK real: sprayed easily and evenly after being thinned with AK real thinner to milk consistency. The finish is smooth and slightly...- Andy the Sheep

1/35 Sd.Ah 56/57 Flak ammunition trailer (3D printed)
I believe those roads were just well maintained dirt roads; you can still find the "case cantoniere", sturdy houses, always painted in "Pompeian Red" and white with green roof, scattered along the National Roads every 5 - 10 km where the personnel in charge of National Roads maintenance lived-...- Andy the Sheep
