An effort to regain some skills on wingy things
Thank you Ron. The "amoeba" ring required some trials on a cardboard before being sure on how to move the brush to obtain a passable result. Rick, the trials and errors path is the only one I know :sad-face:. What cheers me up is that even Leonardo da Vinci walked the same path ... (this...- Andy the Sheep

Model Expo Verona 2022
Yesterday I was in Verona for the 2022 Model Expo. I'm not very good at shooting (at least with a camera). Anyway, here a selection of not too bad pics, starting with WW1 then going to WW2 and then some jets, including a "what if.." Phantom.- Andy the Sheep

Kitty Hawk 1/48 Jaguar GR.1/ GR.3
Sorry for the crashing of your Jaguar :disappointed2: :flushed:... and also for this... ...but I couldn't resist to the temptation to make you smile (or sneer, at least). :tongue-out3: Andrea- Andy the Sheep

Latest Acquisitions (2022)
Some "new" Plexiglas display boxes of different sizes one already in use and some Plexiglas, brass and aluminum parts that could be used as hobby tools. They all come from a shop that has to close because of COVID related financial troubles. Someone, maybe, recalls my "500€ kit": they made...- Andy the Sheep

What's on the bench 2022
P70 still under construction. The fuselage is not yet fully glued but the fit is good. Wings are glued but the upper air intakes (I think are those for the carburetor) have a bad fit and will need some putty. Unfortunately the spar that should sustain the wings is not very strong and I'm...- Andy the Sheep

What's on the bench 2022
Italeri Douglas P70 1:48 has started to come together. The cockpit has still to be weathered and I'm trying to add some details to the engines... first time so, finger crossed (eyes are already...;)) I'm rather satisfied about the kit quality, just some very limited flash and some sturdy sprue...- Andy the Sheep

Latest Acquisitions (2022)
Not a kit, but a good reference document and an enjoyable reading, including a Panzer-style chute and ladder game. Bought on-line from Bovington Tank Museum shop: it took almost one month from order to delivery (delay expected having chosen the normal mail option instead of a courier) and...- Andy the Sheep

Ariete C1 MBT Trumpeter 1/35
Thank you, Andy. My next build should be the Italeri Douglas P70 (box art from Italeri on-line catalogue). It's not in my confort zone, but I'd like to build up some experience on shading and a totally black nightfighter is a good testing ground. Moreover, it was on sale, so not a big drain on...- Andy the Sheep

Latest Acquisitions (2022)
Went to my parent's for Christmas and I couldn't help to pay a visit to the old Amati Model shop. It's charm is still alive. I felt the same thrilling sensation I had when as I child I stepped into what I considered an almost sacred placed, sensation I think is shared by many customers: as far...- Andy the Sheep

Pesky pussycats!
Sorry for your accident, Dave:face-with-head-bandage:. Hope you'll recover soon. Once I broke 4 out of 5 toes on my right foot and went to the hospital 2 days later:face-with-thermometer:. Those were definitely 48 painful hours, and I had no cat to blame (if ever a cat is to be blamed for being...- Andy the Sheep

What's on the Bench? 2021
Another hour at the bench. Some fiddly parts added, hull and turret dry fitted and tank primed :sick:. Just some small retouch here and there (handles, mainly). Next time is hissing stick time...:sick::hungry: The main mistake in this kit is the turret: it's too narrow by almost 1 cm. (0,4 in)...- Andy the Sheep

What's on the Bench? 2021
No, John, I'm still commuting but now I try to get a couple of hours at the bench at least 2 times per week... We're still waiting for the electrician to complete the garage door motorization (I should have bought an old Tamiya garage door, instead... :tongue-out3: ) then it's time for a new...- Andy the Sheep

TAKOM: how to get in contact?
Well, StuGs have good sides for sure, so good they need schurzen to protect 'em.;) :smiling:. Probably MiniArt will release soon a new special edition StuG kit: the "Shepherd StuG" with a shepherd's stick beside the Commander's hatch, a sheep shearer instead of the wire cutter, a 1/35 Bitzer...- Andy the Sheep

What's on the Bench? 2021
This morning I tried to resuscitate my '80s HiFi with debatable results: turntable with new head: good; amplifier: left channel only working and more investigation needed. Maybe it's just some old cable...:face-with-head-bandage: In the meantime... some more glue, paint and primer (tested a new...- Andy the Sheep

Waiting for a new set of tracks for my BV 206 (if Takom will ever send me not the replacement tracks, that would be asking for too much, :rolling: but a sign, at least!:disappointed2: :disappointed2::angry:) I began to spread some glue on that: The purist might point out that the gun is not the...- Andy the Sheep

Toon Tiger
That Tiger revived an almost faded memory... a famous italian comic strip of the 70's depicting what I would definitely describe as a toon Tiger tank. Balloon translation: stop acting like an idioten! - the characters speak a germanized (if germanized is an existing word) italian. and some...- Andy the Sheep
