Nice colour..... I seem to remember reading somewhere, years ago, that a survey showed that people who drive yellow cars tend to be above average intelligence..... Yeah, I know, I know, a survey? so it must be true right? ;)(y)- pjgtech

German Wehrmacht Tank Crewman Figure- 1:16 - Tamiya
Made a start, did the basic assembly, decided to keep a few bits separate for painting, I will let the adhesive set for few hours, then give it all a nice prime coat.... Main body needed clamping, and the seams will need sanding down a bit. But a nice fit.... Arms are now on and the two parts...- pjgtech

German Wehrmacht Tank Crewman Figure- 1:16 - Tamiya
Decided on a figure next, why did the German troops always look so smart? A nice Tamiya 1:16 kit of a Wehrmacht Tank Crewman. Seems to be an officer. This will also be my next AB victim! Box art and sprue (just the one). Tamiya do have some lovely detail on their figures.- pjgtech

De Havilland DH88 Comet - Airfix - 1:72 - AB Victim no'2
I think this one is now done....(y) The kit did live up to its reputation of being rather poor, not a very good fit, lots of gaps, bad mouldings, not much detail, not many parts, etc, etc. However, I still enjoyed building it, and, as it was a only my second air brushed model and therefore a...- pjgtech

De Havilland DH88 Comet - Airfix - 1:72 - AB Victim no'2
For the props I want clear circles to simulate working, rotating props. Tried to cut a few perfect, or even half good, little circles few days ago, but they were all awful, mainly due to my sausage like fingers and absolute lack of skill, eyesight, hand eye co-ordination, etc, etc, so.... I...- pjgtech

De Havilland DH88 Comet - Airfix - 1:72 - AB Victim no'2
Primed it up a couple days ago, Then set about a metallic finish, using Vallejo steel.... Not bad, but first coat was a bit patchy, second coat I got a couple of blotches! Ah well, still learning... I also painted the cockpit black, or what little of it you can see, and gave the pilots (eg...- pjgtech

Présentation
Aye up Geeza, welcome. But being a typical English muppet, I don't do other languages, (unless you count some obscure IT/Computer languages, BASIC, HTML, etc!) So I have no idea what you are saying?- pjgtech

De Havilland DH88 Comet - Airfix - 1:72 - AB Victim no'2
Was gonna prime it up today, but noticed some of the filler has shrunk back, so couple more gaps to fill (again)! My Dspaie sander is getting a good workout though, as its great for getting into those little nooks and crannies.... ;)(y)- pjgtech
