    At what point is your "stash" getting out of hand?

    At what point does a "Stash" get out of hand? When I got back into the hobby, I bought myself some cheapo kits to get going and experiment with, this was my original "stash".... Eg: seven kits.... But my stash has grown, and keeps on growing! I now (currently) have these.... EG: easily...

    Getting the full set?

    One of my first builds when I got back into scale modelling was a cheap Airfix Tiger tank mk1. Bodged it, but it was a "a learning experience" as they say.... Anyway the point is, it was a 1/72 scale. Some time later I got a 1/144 scale Tiger so built that too. I have just also bought, but not...

    Aoshima Toyota gt86

    I would have thought the Tamyia ones are more expensive, as they tend to be smaller cans don't they? but then again I can't remember the last time I bought a rattle can from Halfords, Lol, so what do I know! They look good anyway, so thats all that matters in the end.....(y)

    Aoshima Toyota gt86

    Ah ok, nice work, do you use normal car spray paints? eg: the sort you would get in Halfords, not scale model specific ones, Tamiya, etc?

    British Universal Carrier Mk2 - Tamiya 1:35

    Bit more progress on this today... Dry fit of the central section into the chassis, all good... Main side and front panels and front and rear (central) bulkheads now fitted.... Then another dry fit of the central section. However, I am going to leave this out for now, not permanently fix it...

    British Universal Carrier Mk2 - Tamiya 1:35

    Been beavering away at the tiny, miniscule, PE parts, bloody difficult to handle! But they certainly do add detail.... Also done a bit more on the various bits of main chassis.

    The Savage Ost Front

    Wow, gruesome, but also compelling! Really brings home the horror of war and the often forgotten human casualties.

    Tank weathering advice

    Relatively newly back to (plastic) scale modelling here, not sure if the plastics used on RC tanks will be the same as on "regular" scale models and therefore subject to the same techniques? I know some RC cars have very thin plastic shells.... All good advice above, and I would echo the point...

    Paint for wheels

    Cool, I use this as a handy colour reference chance and shows other manufacturers colours too. The Humbrol 44 Pastel Blue, looks about the closest on the chart?
