    Marine One

    Has anybody ever done a Sea King or Sikorsky VH-3 as Marine One? Thinking of having a go as cant seem to find an actual kit. There are older ones and the Black Hawk one but not the actual one they usually use. T

    Porsche RSR 1:24 'Jagermeister' (Revell)

    FINALLY................ So this has taken a good 11+ weeks to finish but with lockdown, back to semi-normal and then other stuff going on I ended up actually forgetting to do it. But now I'm done and I'm reasonably happy with the results. This is my most complex build to date and there are a...

    Help with paint onto chrome

    Any advice would be appreciated! I have this Porsche RSR kit and need to now paint the rims. They have a gold centre and chrome sides. I have gold enamel paint but worried it wont stick, which was confirmed when I tried it on a piece of sprue. Any ideas on best option. Also not sure if it will...

    Porsche RSR 1:24 'Jagermeister' (Revell)

    So............... Having got fed up doing my PAK40 I took a break and after a week dove into this. I was inspired to get going on it having seen the total amazement of kpnuts' 1:12 Porsche kit (link below). https://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/tamiya-1-12-porsche-934.35530/page-3 I know my...

    Tamiya 1:35 Sturmguschutz done.

    This is my completed tank killer! Stug based on Panzer IV chassis. Spent ages trying to decide on the paint camo to do and happy with it now having done several variations. I have made the antenna for both sides but forgot to glue them on before I took the photos. Really enjoyed this kit but...

    75cm German anti-tank gun 1:32 (Tamiya)

    Just started a new kit which I saw a a ‘quickie’ but actually finding it just as involving as much grander kits. It’s just a gun, 3 troopers and some shells........ how tough can it be? Quite as it turns out. Very detailed, several moving parts and troopers in 6 or more pieces too. Who new a £7...

    Anybody had success with anti magnetic texture WW2 german armour?

    Anybody had success with anti-magnetic (Zimmerit) texture paint WW2 german armour? Thinking of adding to the hull of my Stug IV. T

    Airfix 1:32 Jaguar XKR (decal hell)

    Finished the Jaaaaaagggggggg and what a hateful build. So pleased it was over and done with. Had issues with the Roll Cage, Glass and worst of all horrific decals that refused to stick, didn't fit and were placed over large protrusions like door handles. Ended up losing my cool and had to add in...

    The bits you dont see?

    I was just painting the commander of my Sturmgushutz and realised that his lower body wont be seen and wondered in my mind if it's worth painting the trousers and boots. I have started to do so but is it really worth it. I never bothered with the interior of my Panzer IV or other tanks. Am I...

    Anybody done a Stryker assault vehicle?

    Thinking of doing a Stryker but cannot see any reviews on the available kits. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places? Which kit and was it good, particularly wheels and tyres? T

    Completed Pink Panther (Tamiya) 1:35...... But didn't make a pink one.

    Completed another Soft Skin SAS vehicle. This time a Pink Panther Land Rover but couldn't get my hands on the right paint so having seen some were painted in dessert yellow went for that instead. I think pink would have been better, after all, it's what makes this vehicle different in the first...

    Airfix 1:32 Jaguar XKR GT3

    Took my daughter to (dare I mention it) Hobbycraft today for art supplies for college and had a nose at their kits. I try and avoid these huge type stores but they had a good selection. Including an Airfix Jag XKR GT3 starter set, but it was reduced to just £9 as the paint, glue and brushes were...

    Tamiya 1:35 SAS Jeep

    Finally finished the last few odds and sods on my SAS Jeep. Packing all those accessories was a tough choice on what to leave out and how to stack it efficiently. The idea of putting on items I'd painstakingly painted and weathered that would then be hidden under a load of other guff was...

    1:35 SAS Pink Panther Land Rover (but not doing pink)

    Got a SAS Land Rover 'Pink Panther' kit. But getting the paint isn't easy (I don't have an airbrush but want a spray finish) so I will do in dessert yellow or sand yellow. Looks to have a lot of 'accessories' to paint and fit but only one 'soldier'. T

    1:35 Sturmgeshutz IV (Tamiya kit)

    Whilst Stugs seem to be the current build of choice for so many I looked to do something similar. Found this kit cheap on eBay for £15. I had hoped to do a Marder but the kits were either not available or above my £30 max spend. I finished a Panzer IV not too long ago and a quick look shows a...

    Tamiya SAS Willy's Jeep 1:35

    I got this kit as an aside for my 12 year old son to build but he chose to get an Airfix Jaguar E-Type starter kit instead. So I'm doing the Jeep! All I have to say is MANY MANY JERRY CANS! Used up leftover spray paint from my 'Monty's Humber' build for jerry cans to offer up some mild colour...

    Tamiya 1:35 Panzer IV build

    I'm putting in the completed section now as it is 'finished' but it still needs weathering. I've added some basic weathering to wheels, exhaust, gun barrels etc. but the meaty stuff still needs doing. I'm waiting on supplies from eBay as my stocks are low and I'd rather wait to do it properly. I...

    Panzer IV (Tamiya 1:35)

    Ordered this from the tank museum shop. Thought I'd help them out with some money but found they had a fair price on model kits too. Went for the Panzer IV as to me it is what a tank is. Ask a kid to draw a tank and the result is usually Panzer IV like. Having found the Tamiya Pink Panther kit...
