    Choices, Choices!

    Currently working on a small base for my completed Tamiya 155mm M40 SPG and, as a diversion, built the Tamiya SdKfz 222; moulds date from the '70s but overall it's a 'Shake & Bake ' kit producing a very reasonable diorama stuffer! Need something a little more challenging now so SWMBO has...

    Kfz 70 Radio Van interior layouts - Information please

    Can anybody supply,or point me in the right direction, for good, concise information/photos on Kfz 70 radio van interiors? I have a couple of photos in the WWP Productions 'Radio for Wehrmacht' book but they aren't all that useful TBH. I have the ICM set that contains two of these beasties and I...

    Spotted on the Bar

    Our locals have a selection of rubber-backed bar mats; one of these is a Greene King example showing a rugby payer on a (majority) of 'grass'. I've just salvaged some very useful sections of this 'grass' to create some very useful bases! See below ... Steve

    Advice on US tracks please

    I don't usually build US AFVs but I'm thinking of building my Tamiya M40 SPG that has sat in my stash for a while; this will sound ridiculous to some but are the main track elements metal or some hard rubber compound? I haven't found any reference to their composition in any of my reference...

    If you thought the Carpet Monster is bad ...

    I've finally got time to get back on the bench to carry on with my MiniArt Mercedes LS 1.5 t for the truck GB. We're also looking after a neighbour's small puppy for a while. Left the bench to answer the house 'phone and said puppy somehow got into the cave and chewed two important (and...

    Spots on the Internet (2023)

    This is a photo from my album, excuse the quality but it is about 60 years old! Just for interest as we were talking about Browndown Camp. It's inverted and I can't sort it, would akindly tech person please help? Steve

    Only nearly a year late! P51D Mustang from Lee's P51 GB

    Apologies to Lee for not completing on time - life and family interrupted my intention to complete on time - still, it is said the road to Hell is paved with good intentions! This is for my mate's 50th -he's a P51 nutcase and wanted one on his desk; some cajoling and quite a few pints later I...

As stated earlier it's the MiniArt L1500S I.5 ton truck; moulded in a softish grey plastic the kit contains a plethora of fine detail (including'furniture', crates and 'carpets'! 2 small PE frets, clear plastic...

    Info please

    I've recently come into possession of these with a promise of more to come in various sizes; they're slightly magnetised and already proving very useful in conjunction with set squares etc. I'm intrigued as to whether I can find a definitive answer as to their original purpose! Are there any...

    Spot the Mistake!

    One of my local pubs was next door to a RAF/USAAF base during the war and has a small display of contemporary photographs. This one troubles me though! Steve

    A Question of Scale

    More Apologies

    Further to Tony's post (which came as a shock as I was just in the process of using the same title!) I am about to start the truck GB - which I promise to complete on time! My apologies are to the following: Peter - Spitfire build - due completion November '22 Lee - P51 build - due completion...

    Pete's wheeled cargo movers GB. Aug - Dec 2023. Chat thread.

    Reference my last here are the sprue shots - lots of fine detail including crates and furniture items (!). Seriously hoping I will finish this build on time - should do as the garden makeover is 99% complete! Comprehensive decal sheet but, surprisingly, no instrument decals! Steve

    "School boy hobby"?!

    I only have this brass Swan-Morton knife from my early days Dave, tool stashes were certainly much less complex then, weren't they!
