TAKOM: how to get in contact?
I need spare parts from TAKOM. I messed up the BV206 vinyl tracks and I hope to get a spare set instead of binning the whole kit or buying another one. I wrote two times to the only mail address I found on the TAKOM web page (business@takom-world.com) but, after more than 3 weeks, I got no...- Andy the Sheep

Model Expo Italy 2021 Verona
Yesterday I went for the first time at the model expo in Verona. A lot of empty spaces, probably due to the long term effects of COVID lock down that forced the organization to postpone the Expo 2 times and finally cancel it in 2020. Here are some of the few pics I took there. Here's my...- Andy the Sheep

Latest Acquisitions (2021)
Today I attended to the re-opening day of one of the two hobby shop in my area, ... just 180 km away from my hometown :disappointed: ... The other one is 110 km away....:anguished: My main target was paints, tools etc. The result is here in the picture: I got everything but the Pz IV with 10%...- Andy the Sheep

Special Hobby 1/32 Fiat G.50 COMPLETED
If I may add further entropy, ;) there is at least one pic of a G50 in Maldegen (Belgium), sporting a very ragged livery, worn down to the naked metal surface. Maybe the same happened to the lower wing surface of that CR 42... In any case, as far as I know, the grey under-surface of the wings...- Andy the Sheep

Special Hobby 1/32 Fiat G.50 COMPLETED
Steve, I have 2 pics of CR42s operating from Ursel (Belgium) over England in autumn 1940 in the "Corpo Aereo Italiano" or C.A.I. (Italian Air Corps), Mussolini (late) contribution to the Battle of Britain :flushed:. They are dated (published in 1973) and here for discussion purposes only, but I...- Andy the Sheep

Starting off my Grandsons
Zuludog, when 50 years ago my granpa bought me my first kit (see pic for reference) and a tube of cement I was about 7 y.o. and I still think that it was the best gift I could ever have had even if I made a mess of it :smiling:. So my advice is... give them plastic, cement and some waterbased...- Andy the Sheep

Remembrance Day.
In Italy the remembrance day is Nov. 4th, date of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Kingdom surrender. Here is a pic of the most important military shrine, not far from where I live, last home for more than 100.000 italian soldiers. Almost every town has its own memorial. Here are two samples...- Andy the Sheep

Andrea's Takom BV206S 1/35 for Simon
Started today. The kit is rather good but... the interiors are a bit sketchy. Here you can see the back module as provided by Meng and the real one. I will definitely move out from my comfort zone and try to add as much details as my skills allow :cold-sweat:. My main concern is about an...- Andy the Sheep

An effort to regain some skills on wingy things
Some pictures of the builds I made in the last few months to try to recover some skills in dealing with airplanes after 35 years away from sprues, glues and paints. . The MC 202 and the EFA are 1/72 Italeri, the Tiffy is 1/72 Airfix, the Tempest is 1/72 Academy and the Sea Fury is 1/48...- Andy the Sheep

Simon T Memorial GB: Nov-Feb 2020. Chat thread
Late as usual... but I made up my mind on what to build for this very special GB (my first GB, by the way) and after a prolonged and almost unfathomable thinking (if thinking is the due word to describe what my grey matter so strenuously strives to do ... ;)) the winner is... I think I will...- Andy the Sheep

Italeri 1/35 Semovente L40
Started 3 days ago with this new build. Some pics to show the initial steps. Of course, all has been done correctly, it's minion's merit while what is messy it's mine.;) The hull has been used to test some different tones of sand; I haven't chosen yet which one will be sprayed as soon as the...- Andy the Sheep

Italian WWII tanker
I was caught by the corona virus lockdown :sick: while moving from our old house to the new one, just a few km far, but in another town so, for the moment, out of reach; unfortunately my little stash (see pic below) and half of the modelling stuff, mainly paints, is already there. The third...- Andy the Sheep

Thank you all for your appreciation. I know there are many details I could have managed better, but this is the "modeler within" speaking while the audience seems to be satisfied. Here are two pics of the original.- Andy the Sheep

My 500€ kit
In a few days I will be "on half pay"... well not really half as the pay reduction is far lower than 50%, but, anyway, three of my colleagues and me are leaving permanently our activity waiting for our pensions (please, do not ask for details, it is difficult to explain it in my native...- Andy the Sheep

Neil's Airfix 54mm 95th Rifleman
That kit was my return to the hobby after 35 years. It was a real bargain and I could not resist. It was an OOB and paints were acrylics from a fine art shop that required some blending to get the requested tones (e.g.: the uniform was painted with Chrome Oxide Green darkened with Prussian Blue)...- Andy the Sheep
