    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! Incidentally...

    Airborne01's fd.kfz 7. Dragon, 1/35

    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

    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...

    Curiouser and Curiouser!

    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!? This means I have to temporarily shelve that idea/model lest people...

    Airborne's Tamiya, 1/48 Mosquito.

    Here's a little more progress on the Mosquito, hopefully get some more done in the next couple of days! Steve

    Airborne's Bergan reference photos

    As threatened here's a couple of photo's of my original 60's A frame Bergan - it was a beastie I assure you! Steve

    Airborne's Tamiya, 1/48 Mosquito.

    P...ed of with the Spitfire GB (realised that five years is a definite skills hiatus so just starting the beautiful Mossie) some sprue shots (nothing new here!)and a basic progress shot. Will try harder! Steve

    Papa695s Mosquito GB chat thread

    Finally got off my a--e to start this! Spitfire GB progressing painfully slowly but I've sold the farm and have shed-loads of 'fings' to make this new GB progress at a gallop! (I hope!) Steve

    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

    Airborne's Falklands GB candidate - Sgt Mather MM

    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...
