    The dog has definitely resigned, not even a scooby snack will bring him back! Tonight has been about handles, lifting lugs, hatches, splashing some colour inside, glueing bits and a possibility of a diorama! The diorama thought was to build this... ... with said tank tucked up against the...

    Trident PzBeobachtungs Panther

    Here is the kit, stripped down to its bare bones, note there is a 1 35 steel wheel and track for size comparison! There isn't too many parts to the kit but it is a strain to the eyes... eye test is required for myself! :nerd: Having done one of these kits before, I will say that they are easy to...

    Renault UE armoured carrier

    Over this last month I've done a build thread (I don't know how to add the thread?!), my first attempt at doing one, I might do another... who knows?!

    With a small amount of time at the bench when I can grab it over the weekend, I've managed to get more done than expect, trailer, tracks, pasting, painting, weathering and a novelty cup! The tracks on this thing gave me a bloody headache!

    1 35 French Armoured Carrier UE

    Some more progress tonight, crew now complete and the build up of the main body of the UE2... The interior will get a splash of colour but nothing to exciting as once the crew are in, you're not going to see much at all
