Airborne's 1/16 SS Grenadier NCO - Completed!
Well.I think this is it! I still think the pose is not quite 'right' but I didn't want to ruin the model by ham-handed attempts to bring it round to my way of thinking. My only dislike was the sling that I couldn't get moulded convincingly - so I left it off! If anybody wants a superb model to...- Airborne01

Airborne's 1/16 SS Grenadier NCO
Moving swiftly on -the basic assembly is done - absolutely perfect fit throughout, but I would attach the mag pouches first in future as they otherwise take a little negotiating! Nothing too arduous though. So, main body painted, no flesh tones or weapon yet as I still can't make up my mind as...- Airborne01

Airborne's 1/16 SS Grenadier NCO
Another Christmas present. A beautifully cast Alpine offering, cleanly cast with only minimal (easily removed) flash - the pose is a little stilted but acceptable. This will be the first attempt of the New Year and will give me a chance to try out may new wet palette and SS camouflage. Don't...- Airborne01

Airborne's DUC - Sdkfz 7 with Howitzer
Here's a melding of the two earlier elements of an earlier GB - I envisage a second line moment of calm - scran (food), rest, dhobi (sh-t, shave, shampoo and 'shower') and then admin and equipment maintenance. I think a farm courtyard - not too complicated - but hopefully full of details such as...- Airborne01

Airborne01's fd.kfz 7. Dragon, 1/35
95% done so I'm calling it complete for all intents and purposes for this thread - there's work yet to do but it overlaps into other threads (QV). Hope you like the progress so far - it was finished within time (honest) but I've been distracted ... my apologies! Steve- Airborne01

Airborne's Dragon 1/35 150mm Howitzer
Tempus Fugit, not helped by a considerable amount of time at school away from the bench, but I've managed to get some sub-assemblies for the howitzer done! Haven't posted sprue shots as they were included in the original post. I'm fairly sure I shall get this whole build completed on time...- Airborne01

Airborne01's fd.kfz 7. Dragon, 1/35
Snuck in an hour or two here and there and this is the result: Carpet Monster refuses to yield the hand rail and I refuse to be blackmailed by scratching a new part! Stowage needs some cordage and cam-poles added; still waiting for the dashboard decals which is why the forward fragile elements...- Airborne01

Airborne01's fd.kfz 7. Dragon, 1/35
Managed to get a little more completed, tracks (complete with mistake) and engine for example; started on stowage but have yet to uncover a definitive stowage plan so it will have to be down to the arcane art of guesstimation! The rear basket was deformed and had a short moulding in one area...- Airborne01

Airborne01's fd.kfz 7. Dragon, 1/35
A little time at the bench (thanks to an understanding SWMBO) and 'onwards and upwards!' Due to taking a short-cut I put the front bodywork on and created some minor problems relating to 'How do I now get the rear portion on?' -fortunately that's now resolved and the bodywork is fitted and just...- Airborne01

Free to a Good Home!
I have been given several military-themed books but I already have a couple of them, therefore I'm happy to give them away as a freebie! The first is SEIDLER, Hans.(2013) Hitler's Tank Killer; Sturmgeschutz at War 1939-45. Pub: Pen & Sword (Images of War series) ISBN 184884174-4. Excellent...- Airborne01

Airborne01's fd.kfz 7. Dragon, 1/35
Managed to make the chassis - almost complete but winch cable, hydraulics, engine plumbing and touch-ups to do. Just started on fuel tank and running gear but will be slow in posting next stage as I'm locum caretaker next week. Had a nightmare as, having posted these photos, realised the front...- Airborne01

A little fun with Lego figures!
Just a moment's diversion - these are 'gissits' for some of the characters in my 'local'! The three front figures are the landlord, landlady and son; the remainder are just some of the eccentric characters who populate and enrich the quintessential English pub! The best local ever!

Didn't realise I may have over committed due to a surfeit of wingy fingies and work at school! However, here's my entry, may run out of time but will at least get the prime mover built! Here's the mandatory entree ( less the decals - sorry!) Steve- Airborne01

Airborne's Tamiya, 1/48 Mosquito.
Here's a little progress; still building at school so very little time on the bench, two halves of the forward fuselage with some more way to go (detail and wiring to the rear of the control panel for example) then close up and onwards and upwards! The astute may notice a great wodge of filler...- Airborne01

Is it just me or do other forum members have unfinished dioramas, models or ideas etc that they start to research and get poised to launch when ..... somebody else posts more or less the same project they've just started!?
