    German Tank Crew figure - Tamiya - 1:16

    Was not happy with the photos, a bit blurry and a bit too close up plus lots of dust on the figure! So have given it a good dust down and redid the photos with slightly better lighting, etc, so hopefully these look a bit better. Cheers

    Why don't all models come with a masking set?

    Personally I would be happy to pay a bit extra to get them included with a kit.

    AK Real Colours Acrylic markers - any good?

    Little update to this. I did buy a set of AK Real Colour marker pens a while back, and have now used them several times on various models. For me they do work well, the paint never seems to dry, the tip, although fine, is quite robust and you can get into very small spaces and paint very small...

    One hobby paying for the other....!

    One of my other main hobbies, is airgun target shooting and over the years I have built up a collection of related "stuff". Lately I have been selling off various bits, with the intention of possibly buying a new airgun, but..... every time I sell off a few bits and get some dosh in my grubby...

    Why don't all models come with a masking set?

    Yep, and that looks great, but..... I'm a sausage fingered, cack handed, brain dead, chimp like creature, with no skills or patience whatsever, so..... Peeps like me need all the help we can get, eg: custom made and included masking sets..... think I might have to start a petition or summit...

    GB idea

    Just checked my spreadsheet, I have 29 Tamiya kits, but a lot of those are accessories and 1:35 figure sets, actual proper kits number 6, so I have a good selection to choose from, Lol.....

    Very puzzled and annoyed

    Oh wow, thats looks very weird! If its something you do on a regular basis and it does not usually affect the plastic then obviously your technique is fine. So as mentioned above, it must be some sort of different material composition, hence why it has reacted. Hope you get a positive outcome...

    Why don't all models come with a masking set?

    This is a pet peeve of mine, you decide to make a model, it has some glazing in it, but, there is no masks for the glazing, so you have either do it yourself, fiddly, time consuming, and if you are as hamfisted as me, you end with a not very good mask, etc or you have to buy a custom of...

    SAS Landy - Pink Panther - Tamiya - 1:35 scale

    Yeah, its not really showing up pink in the photos, but mine is a very pale (PRU) pink, not like the sprues! But its your model, so you can do any colour you like.....(y);)

    RIP Donald 😔

    RIP Donald, truly the "greatest" generation IMHO.... My Dad was out in Burma, he fought at Kohima, never talked about it much, had a couple of Uncles who fought in WW2 as well. They all seemed to have a quiet confidence about themselves and were all men that you looked up to.... We should be...

    SAS Landy - Pink Panther - Tamiya - 1:35 scale

    Update, I think I am now calling this one done. Quite pleased with how it turned out. Had slight fit issue with the rear payload area attaching to the main chassis, but apart from that it all went together fine and dandy. Think I went a bit too far with the sandy texture (again, I must learn...

    Another Varnish and AB question?

    Thinned it 1:1 and gave the SAS Pink Panther two thin coats of gloss varnish, looks a lot better than my first attempt with varnish through the AB, so thank peeps.

    SAS Landy - Pink Panther - Tamiya - 1:35 scale

    Ok, so the actual build is now complete, all painting done, pink came out ok, nice and pale as I wanted, and I've given it an almost dry brush coat of Tamiya XF Desert Sand to try to simulate a dusty/sandy covering. I did not want to completely lose the pink shade.... Tomorrow it will get a...
