    All done ! I really enjoyed this kit( except for the floppy drive sprockets) and fully intend to build a couple more examples. Anyway, picture, thousand words, etc. Cheers, Dan.

    1/35 Hobby boss M4 High Speed Tractor

    Evening folks, long time no model, etc. I'm having a bash at this HST. The instructions are mostly good, but sometimes lacking. Detail is nice but there are some glaring ommisions. Anyway... First error was me chopping the tabs off the cab floor. Oops. Plasticard to the rescue, Running gear...

    So long and thanks for all the fish.

    Good Evening all. Right, I'm off. This is no way a reflection on this forum, I just didn't want to sneak off without saying thanks. You lot have been brilliant. Not only inspirational but also encouraging and supportive. I have learned a lot & will continue to model thanks to my time here...

    Bergepanther question.

    Hello campers. I'm just starting my ICM early (winch-less) Bergepanther build and was hoping to pick your brains. I'm adding a little detail to the interior but am wondering if the turret drive half way between the engine & transmission would have been in place but redundant, or deleted and...

    Dan & Andy's ICM 1/35 Early Bergepanther Build.

    It'll be mine mostly. Thanks to the generosity of The Smythe Meister I have another Bergepanther to abuse. Thanks Andy. Thanks to my previous experiences I have invested in a set of these. If all goes well I may buy a set for my Italeri Bergepanther. What Andy sent was an abandoned...

    Sad Day

    The BAE Hawk T1's that have always been a pleasure to see flying around down here are leaving our local airbase, RNAS Culdrose. I wasn't aware of the reason until I checked the local news but they were giving it the absolute beans across the sky this afternoon. Proper full chat, white exhaust...

    Tamiya separate track link set & a paint colour question.

    Evening folks. Has anyone used Tamiya link track sets ? Thinking about getting these... Also, would Bergepanthers have ever been grey or were they introduced too late ? Thank you :smiling3:

    Tamiya FAMO und Tiefladeanhänger.

    Tis done, or at least done enough until I build a diorama for it. Found a Panzer IV from 30 years ago to replace the stupid shiny 6 wheeled chariot of failure. I tried not to overdo the wear & tear this time, I wish I'd just gone for it now but there's always the next one. Thanks for all your...

    1/35 WW2 Camo Netting.... Any Suggestions ?

    I've looked on that internet with an obvious lack of success, does anyone have any recommendations for purpose made netting or what have people used from other sources ? I'd thought of surgical gauze but any other thoughts ? Fanx

    It Only Seems Like Twelve Months

    Morning all. Just realised it's been a year today since I signed up to this little oasis of calm. Life's been pretty complicated for the past 2 years on top of the problems that Covid dumped on all of us. My rediscovery of modelling has definitely helped keep my remaining marbles in a safe...

    1/35 ICM Daimler Benz G4 Staff Car

    I've posted pics elsewhere but it's such a fiddly kit, that is courting disaster at every turn, I thought I'd do a Fred. Pics for the moment, thoughts ( suicidal & plasticidal ) to follow...

    FAMO und Tiefladeanhänger

    Evening. It's come to my attention that certain forum members (namely me), may have been moaning about individual track links. I would like to officially withdraw all and any negative statements I may have made on the subject. Having completed one track ( no, it hasn't taken me 10 days. I've...

    What flew over your house (yesterday)

    A bit of a cheat but I don't think there's really much call for a "What Sailed Past Your House (yesterday) " thread. Seajacks Leviathon, platform maintenance vessel, flipping huge, Cornwall.

    FAMO und Tiefladeanhänger

    Too much non-modelling going on at the moment, but I managed to get the wheels nearly finished last night. Hopefully the weather will stay crappy today & I can get some more in.

    FAMO und Tiefladeanhänger

    Mini update. I've been painting the track-wheel tyres (not my fave pastime) and started a bit of dirt & dust on the chassis & front tyres, No rust or caked on filth for this one.

    Andrew's visit to the Army Flying Museum @ Middle Wallop

    I have many happy memories of Middle Wallop, my grandparents farm was just down the road. Most vivid in my mind was seeing Ken Wallis flying " Little Nellie" with full pyro effects & the Bond theme playing through the PA system (in the echoing way only a multi speaker set up in a massive field...

    What's on the Bench? 2021

    Not so much what's on it, but where it is. I've been using the spare room but people keep visiting so I tidied up a corner of the barn..... Sorted. No wifi but an old Bush radio to keep me company. edit And a set of Wolfrace for my Hilux.

    FAMO und Tiefladeanhänger

    Evening. I've been holding off on this as I didn't want to mess it up but the time has come to give it a shot. Inspired by this picture, though I'm planning a slightly less regular load... I'm also going to try my hardest not to overdo the wear & tear and go for a bit of light patina. We...
