    Andrew's Resurrected 1/72 MiniArt Town House

    As promised 'wriggly tin' device with two bits of Coke tin as examples! Can't remember the manufacturer but I'm fairly sure it came from Hobbycraft, the card-making department! Steve

    Airborne's Falklands GB candidate - Sgt Mather MM

    Small update - in process of painting the Bergan and have done the initial painting of the face. Large scale makes it look terrible but honestly, it looks better 'au naturel'. Realise I need to adjust colour tones etc but it's edging towards a tired, hungry, grubby, under stress squaddy- hope so...

    Airborne's Falklands GB candidate - Sgt Mather MM

    Here's an update - figure assembled but unprimed. Wasn't happy with the position of the right arm as it looked as if it was waving in the breeze so I've added Milliput to the outcrop to allow re-positioning with a view to making it look as if he was closer to reaching in to the Bergan for the...

    Airborne's Falklands GB candidate - Sgt Mather MM

    As it's the 1st of April I thought I'd crack on with this build - I'm really looking forward to it even though it's something new! Two views showing parts and detail front and rear of the figure (one boot attached already as I wanted to see how it fitted to the rocky outcrop - which I neglected...

    Latest Acquisitions (2022)

    A mate of mine gave me this - notice the colour variations on the Cherry Berets - don't get fixated on the 'proper' colour! :cool: Steve

    Superb Service!

    Airborne's Completed GB - Shelf of Doom - Bergepanther

    Well, finally achieved something! Tracks yielded (I think) and I've got something to show for it! Some more detailing to do, more photos to follow then a transition to 'Dioramas Under Construction' Hope this appeals! Steve

    Probably me being IT thick but how do I access an item that I've bookmarked? Help please! Steve

    Airborne's Sgt. Joseph Gordon Mather MM, SAS, 120mm

    Something different for me - Sgt Mather MM G Sqn SAS (Royal Signals) - 28 days in a Close Observation role Down South - hope I can do him justice! Steve

    Airborne's Bussing-Nag Recovery Vehicle - I Hope!

    At last I've managed some progress - not finished yet, just details and bits 'n' pieces to go - but a rough outline of the finished result. Will call this finished soon and maybe resurrect it for a diorama.Or maybe just scrap it - a horrendous build , my worst ever! I hate the end result! Steve...

    Let's try again....

    Latest Acquisitions (2021)

    Well (Mrs) Christmas has come again bearing modelling supplies (amongst other things) - don't know how I'm going to find time to build/read all this though! Once I've finished the Bussing NAG and the 'shelf queen' of the Bergepanther I'll doubtless find time! Once again, thanks Kate! Steve...

    Airborne's Bussing-Nag Recovery Vehicle - I Hope!

    Shit happens! SWMBO has sorted out my crap! Very little progress due to work. Thanks to Kate for getting me through this. Here is the latest (minimal) progress....
  18. Airborne01

    Airborne's Bussing-Nag Recovery Vehicle - I Hope!

    A little more progress - slow due to renovations and innovations at Kate's school and a suspected case of COVID (fortunately proven negative by PCR). Managed to force the chassis squarer (at the temporary cost of minor details of course!) Same problems throughout - miniscule details, vague...
  19. Airborne01

    Airborne's Bussing-Nag Recovery Vehicle - I Hope!

    Well, here's the next instalment - not much done but I have been away working (!) The cab is populated by (literally) a couple of dozen prominent sink marks and ejector scars :sad-face:, some in awkward places! The assembly sequence for this model needs intense review unless you have the manual...

    Airborne's Bussing-Nag Recovery Vehicle - I Hope!

    Sorry for the delay - been building stuff at my wife's school - and my abysmal attempts at photography! The chassis is nearly complete, the big lump of a motor ditto; the same problems have persisted - fiddly parts, chipolata fingers, fading eyesight, empty Sauvignon bottle - life deals some...
