SAS Landy - Pink Panther - Tamiya - 1:35 scale
Little update..... After leaving the colour from last night, today it looks like a very, very pale pink, but as it would have faded etc, I think I'm gonna leave it as is. I will be going for a very well worn, well used, weather beaten look, lots of scratches, dents, dirt, sand, oil and grease...- pjgtech

SAS Landy - Pink Panther - Tamiya - 1:35 scale
Bah, schoolboy error! Just painted up the main parts in pink, but was using my new AB, and did not realise it had the 0.5 nozzle in it, so splodged paint all over.... Took me a few minutes to work out why so much paint was coming out! Will have another go tomorrow with the correct nozzle (0.3).- pjgtech

Project 911
Lol, not sure about the green? but I tend to not like cars in green, had a Renault 18 GTL many, many years ago which was a horrid pale, metallic green and I hated it, my then GF chose it cos she liked the colour! :LOL:- pjgtech

SAS Landy - Pink Panther - Tamiya - 1:35 scale
Little bit of history, but I'm sure that most on here will already know.... The Pink Panther was introduced in 1968 and eventually retired around 1984 and used in various theatres, including: Middle east, Oman, Yemen, Jordan, Kenya and Belize. Apparently the MOD bought about 70+ Landys (S2A) for...- pjgtech

SAS Landy - Pink Panther - Tamiya - 1:35 scale
Next project is the Tamiya SAS Land Rover Pink Panther in 1:35 scale. I do not have the correct pink shade, but Tamiya do helpfully give advice on how to get the pink, eg: mix of white, red and sand/buff. TBH I'm not precious about paint colours being an exact match, so as long as it looks ok...- pjgtech

Clearing varnish through AB?
Mostly Tamiya (flat and gloss) and Humbrol (gloss) plus some others...eg: Mig/Ammo Lucky varnish -
Clearing varnish through AB?
Another noobie AB question.... How do you know when you have suitably cleaned / flushed through the AB enough when using clear varnish? Obviously with any sort of pigment/paint, you can see if any paint is left after cleaning/flushing, but not so with anything clear! I assume its just a matter... -
Tamiya 1:35 - SAS Pink Panther jeep - which pink?
This might be my next build, and I've been pondering which pink to use? I have Tamiya X17 pink, which is a bit bright, but could mute it down a bit. I know I could mix white/red to get a pink. I also have a Humbrol PRU pink (for Spitfires, etc) which seems to be a nice muted pink. Most...- pjgtech

My first 1/24 figure
Nowt wrong wiv that, looks really good. I've done a few now, loads at 1:35 and a few at 1:16, even fewer at 1:72.....even though I'm still carp at them,but I quite like doing them. For me the eyes are the worse bit, they are so bloody fiddy to do and its so easy to make the figure look weird...- pjgtech

German Tank Crew figure - Tamiya - 1:16
Final photos of this lovely figure. I am not very good with figures, not really a fine detail kind of guy (yet), but this one did not come out too bad, I even managed to get some half decent eyes (for me!), and some shading on the clothes, etc.....anyway here are the final pics taken with my...- pjgtech

DH88 Comet bad news
Sad news mate. The audio I used on my recent Comet build (completed YT video) came from an old Shuttleworth YT Vid, featuring the Comet, as I wanted to use original aircraft sounds..... I bet theres not many of them around? -

German Wehrmacht Tank Crewman Figure- 1:16 - Tamiya
TBH those photos don't really do it justice, the edge seams on the clothing and the red edges to the hat and shoulder epilettes (sp?), etc really pop a bit more IRL. Will try to get some better pics for the completed thread. The little AK Real Colour paint pens worked great for the little tiny...- pjgtech
