Scorpion CVR(T) FV101 - 1:35st scale - AFV
This one is deffo now done, finito, end of, thats it, not doing anymore to it, not perfect, but I think its as good as I'm going to get it. Still not 100% happy with the final finish, but its better than it was and I'm happy with the final addition of a chain to the front and a stowed camo net...- pjgtech

Tamiya Subaru imprezza WRX 2001
Do you prime them first? How many coats do you put on? I think I might have to have a go at one of these, Tamiya do a Mini (early proper Mini not the carp BMW ones, Lol) that looks very similar to one I owned way back when. Nice deep blue one.....I keep looking at it.... ;)- pjgtech

Tamiya Subaru imprezza WRX 2001
Do luv a scooby, passed one on the road the other day, fully rally'd up to the max, large pipe, full set of decals, mahoosive rear spoiler, etc, but it didn't have the gold wheels, so it just didn't look right without them, Lol...- pjgtech

Tamiya Subaru imprezza WRX 2001
Do these come pre painted or do you paint them yourself? Never built one so not sure, but you build them so fast, I assume they are already painted! (y) :)- pjgtech

Scorpion CVR(T) FV101 - 1:35st scale - AFV
Have primed up the camo net on the back. Have also cut a couple of PE straps, originally designed for rifle slings, but should look ok as straps for the net... They have been cut from the PE sprue, dry fitted, cut to length and shaped and have also now been primed, but not yet painted or yet...- pjgtech

Nuther poll - What type of scale modelling do you do/like most?
Yes, another poll, I'm on a roll, Lol....(y);) Sorry, but these polls are only limited to 10 questions, so if I miss something that you do, it's because of that. You can select more than one option, so that should cover it... After trying out various types of scale model, including vehicles... -

Book recommendations?
Cheers thanx for that link, had not seen those books on John's site before. But they are all a bit niche, eg: each only covering one specific subject, so to get a good all round knowledge would cost quite a bit! I have actually bought a couple of the Ammo books a while back, on general... -

Desert Diorama - Featuring British ATMP x6 wheeler
Ok, so the base is now done I think.....have added the edge border, in black. I am still working on the Scorpion, which will also be added to this dio, along with the already completed x6 Wheeler ATMP, and the figures. Once the Scorpion is done I can then create the final scene....- pjgtech

Scorpion CVR(T) FV101 - 1:35st scale - AFV
Despite my own advice, eg: see separate thread on knowing when to stop, Lol, and this may well be a mistake? but I am carrying on with this one.... I have knocked the sand finish/pigment back, (a bit), not much, but its not quite so overloaded with sand now. Also added a tiny bit of sand pigment...- pjgtech

Yeah, TBH I usually do put the scratches and rust on before the weathering, but this time I just forgot! 🤷♂️- pjgtech

Knowing/Learning when to stop!
A simple question.....How do you know when to stop when building a scale model? Just finished my Scorpion tank build and really not that happy with the final finish, a sand pigment, as the tank is based on a Middle East scenario, so Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. I was very happy with the...- pjgtech

Book recommendations?
Hi, I'm looking for any recommendations of a good modern, up to date, scale model book on techniques, materials, etc. I just bought a couple of scale model books from Chris Ellis, the scale modellers handbook and how to go plastic modelling. TBH I was a bit underwhelmed, mainly cos (to me) they... -

Scorpion CVR(T) FV101 - 1:35st scale - AFV
I was using Mig Ammo pigment fixer. It does not show up as much in normal lighting, but looks like the camera flash exposed it more. Will maybe apply a bit more pigment as you suggest. TBH one of the reasons I'm not happy with the final weathering finish is that I think I put too much sand...- pjgtech
