    Airborne's Mosquito Mk. IV/PR, Tamiya, 1/48.

    Been under the weather with a protracted Covid affliction that has reduced my time at the bench - I've worked intermittently at earlier start-ups so, in an effort to pad out this post I've put a couple of photos of the Pak 40 from Das Werk. The base is just for temporary display purposes as I...

    Airborne's latest candidates for forthcoming GBs

    Just acquired from John - Spitfire and P51 GB candidates! Haven't made wingy things for years so I went for Tamiya as I'm not sure I could deal with a lot of hassle. P51 sprue shots once started! Steve

    Vikings!

    A friend (and neighbour) of mine belonged to a Regiment whose nickname was 'The Vikings'; he is in the process of converting his garage to a 'Pub' called 'The Viking'! (Top marks for originality methinks!) - there is an enclave of ex-squaddies in my immediate neighbourhood and we are all going...

    Airborne's Sgt Mather - Completed (I hope!)

    This is as far as I think I can go - there are faults that identify in larger photographic scales but I'm reasonably happy with this, my first attempt at this scale.I hope I've done the man and his achievements justice. Steve

    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...

    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

    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...

    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...
