    What's on the Bench? 2021

    I know this is all sorts of wrong on many levels but what the hey ? Screwed the 88mm bogies on for convenience and then it kind of went from there...

    Imagination

    Nope, not a flashback to the 80's...... (did ya see what I did there ?) This is something that's been in my mind for a while, and has kind of been thrown into relief by the "Scale-effects" thread. I've got pictures somewhere of a diorama that I made when I was about 10. It was on a bit of...

    What's on the Bench? 2021

    Childhood dream finally fulfilled. Box-stock build but more to follow. As Kanonier Soldat Von Baldrick would say, " I have a cunning plan". Apart from spending the rest of my life with one of a short list of beautiful film stars, I only have one single thing left on my bucket list.

    Bird Watching a Relaxing Hobby

    Its a little bit of a cheat, but it is our garden and it is a bird. One of our Muscovys has been getting out. She's clipped, and we thought we'd solved it when we saw her pushing under the wire. We sorted that out, but still she escapes. Turns out she climbs, perches & leaps. Not very...

    Bit of a long shot but.....

    What did it say then ? This always makes me chuckle but then how would they know ?

    One Word

    Inspired by peterairfix's thread. When we had our Collie spayed we put a cone on her to keep her from fussing. The one word that resulted ? Terror... She was rooted to the spot and didn't even blink. So we put one on the Springer hoping to make her feel less worried but she still didn't...

    Battered Bergepanther With Large Chips.

    Well, for better or worse, 'tis finished. The tracks are still as awful as they were 30 years ago, I can see why people spend the extra on the aftermarket ones. But as an exercise in patience and techniques it has been a good practice and also fun. Planning a little dio for it soon. Anyway...

    Battered Bergepanther With Large Chips And Salt Please.

    Jakko, thanks. I've been looking at pics of active Panthers with wheels missing & I'm getting into the idea. I may even "replace" a couple of damaged wheels using salvaged items with mismatched paint. Thanks also to everyone for their opinions & even an offer of some un-melted wheels ! Got a...

    Latest Acquisitions (2021)

    Latest acquisition, re-acquired from the my dads barn yesterday, originally acquired by me 30 years ago. Survived well apart from some bird poop. I'm pretty sure it'll end up with some rust issues... Nice kit with lots parts & detail. came with a convertible hood but no mention in the...

    Battered Bergepanther With Large Chips And Salt Please.

    I succeeded in getting an hour on it tonight, I really have to manage my time a bit better as I definitely lose the thread if I stay away for too long. Note to self, spend more time building kits... Cheers, Dan.

    Battered Bergepanther With Large Chips And Salt Please.

    Thanks for all the positive waves. I spent another hour on it this evening. I started looking at pictures of the Takom and Meng Bergepanthers and thought about adding detail but have decided to work with what I have and wait for another kit. With that in mind, I just messed about with the...

    Battered Bergepanther With Large Chips And Salt Please.

    Evening all. I finally set aside a few hours today and got started. I've decided to take it steady as I think I rushed the half track and wasn't best pleased with some aspects of what I did. We live and learn. As I've already said, this is meant to be a practice piece but if it goes well...

    Battered Bergepanther With Large Chips And Salt Please.

    Yet again, refusing to learn any lessons from life, I'm going for the worn-out, parked in the sea, tough life look. I may just be trying to get it out of my system.... I started this kit around 30 years ago. The rear sprockets kept breaking off so back in the box it went. I'm using it as an...

    Rust

    I've been thinking about rust, specifically on WW2 vehicles that are in operation and therefore are at most about 6 years old. I am an admirer of the work of Shigeyuki Mizuno and would love to be able to replicate decay in the way he does. My question is, how rusty do you think undamaged...

    Tamiya sd.kfz 7/1 Flakvierling

    Time to call this completed. I haven't finished the figures but my stepdaughter is coming home from Uni for the Easter break. Apparently my modelling workshop is actually a "spare room" or something ? So that's me chucked out for the moment. Criticism welcome but please go easy, as mentioned...

    Corsica, WW2.

    Evening folks. I'm hoping that the historians amongst you can help me out. I have an idea for a diorama and while it doesn't have to be based in Corsica, I have an ideal location for it on the island that would also be great to recreate for me personally. I've done some amateur interwebbing...

    Tamiya 1/35 sd.kfz 7/1 Flakvierling.

    Hokay, final stretch. Well, last lap anyway. Used all the bits up and stuck them together. Except the figures, but more on that later. I then started on the weathering. I have decided not to go full-on winter white... rather end of the winter, almost all the white-wash has washed off, white...

    1/48 Bren carrier

    I'm going to take a stab at a late 20's Citroen C4 or C6 The cut of the front fenders looks about right, as does the light bar and the spreader bar. Shame we cant see the grill shell.

    My Cars

    My biggest passion since being 15 has been cars. I've always driven something old and didn't buy a modern daily until last year, and that's a 6 year old van. First up, my 88 Hilux. I've had this since about 1996, it's earned it's keep, been my daily and taken some abuse but regular oil changes...
