    Steven's Eduard 1/48 F6F-3 Hellcat

    I compared my P47 with the Spitfire, and that, and the F6 really are beasts, aren't they? Coming along nicely, it's going to look good in flight. I think I'll borrow the balsa idea for my Mig build.

    Tamiya SAS Jeep 1/35 finished pics

    Really good work, and the figures are perfect for the kit. The Land Rover looks properly battered. I can't help thinking of Stan from Dinnerladies - "My dad was a Desert Rat. He washed the tin plates of thirty-two fighting men in a hub cap."

    my arrivals to get a box to send a kit on... The irony being the box these came in is too small. The sacrifices we make :(

    Cleaning the stash... Sort of

    In an ironic twist, the box they arrived in was too small anyway :) I found the right size one in the garage - my wife suggested I should send the models back. :D she's a funny one! Anyway, I believe John has a 'no returns due to false pretences' policy 😉

    Sherman M4A1..... Nichimo 1/35

    Watching along, a brave choice.

    Its too flipping Hot!

    The Cure have been around for about 50 years, although I guess they were an influential band rather than Goth originally.

    Brian's Sovereign of the seas

    I'd need a year off if I had just finished Victory! You are inexorable - that's the word, like a glacier - progress may be steady but it cannot be resisted. Pew pulled up, Costco size popcorn supplies ready...

    Its too flipping Hot!

    Luckily, my room is good, it's cool, and I can open multiple windows - the sun doesn't shine directly into it until 4-5 pm by which time I'm done.

    Eh? Sorry, does not compute! How did you do that? And more to the point, why?

    Westland Wessex HU.5 - 771 Naval Air Squadron (Royal Navy) - Italeri 1:48

    Great work, the dirt and muck on the floor and behind the seats looks very real.

    Neils Tamiya 1/72 Republic P47D Thunderbolt ‘Razorback'

    I took the masking off the canopy by mistake, and I still have to gloss -> decals -> matt varnish - but I'm pretty sure there are no decals around the canopy so I can just mask the whole thing.

    Neils Tamiya 1/72 Republic P47D Thunderbolt ‘Razorback'

    So I have painted the underside and topside now, the olive drap is paler than I realised. The red will need to be gone over one more time at least as well.

    Neils Tamiya 1/72 Republic P47D Thunderbolt ‘Razorback'

    So first, a tale of the Carpet Monster falsely accused.. I was putting on the tail wheel flaps, put the first on and then couldn't find the second. These are not tiny, so I was sure I would spot it. I moved my chair, the rug, moved everything off the table, picked up the cutting mat. I spent 20...

    Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory

    I do not have the patience to even attempt something that big or intricate, just amazing. My experience with fleabay has never been great, so I may be biased, but I would definitely look at other ways to sell first. I was looking back on some of the other photos, and I like that you had Star...

    Jim R's Revell 1/72 Torpedo Boat, PT-109

    It's difficult to imagine how the 37mm artillery piece would help with accuracy - really would be point and shoot and hope you are flat when the gun fires. These boats were pretty much seat of the pants and, I seem to recall, not overly successful as torpedo boats - but better in secondary...

    Tamiya SAS jeep 1/35

    Really good work on the land rover and all the extras and the figures are excellent.

    Steven's Eduard 1/48 F6F-3 Hellcat

    excellent painting of your pilot, these resin pilots really are good now - where did you get it? I know my mig will be in-flight and Eduard don't do pilots...

    so I bought 2 WW1 kits - well it seemed wrong to buy a British one without a German one too.

    Hello from Italy

    Welcome, looking at the Super Hornet, are you sure you took a break of 30 years? That is very very good.
