    Tamiya 1/35 Panzer 111.

    My apologies. Left out the word "holes". Should read - There should be no line and its missing about 20 rivets and nut heads holes. Like Mr T says it will all be covered over by the housing but you know what us detailers are like. Cant sleep unless we know all hidden detailing has been done...

    Items you have bought and at the time thought they were a good idea - but never used.

    I have Jakkos rivet maker - never used I have MikeC's hand jig saw - waste of time This thing which was a complete waste of money and loads of weathering paints and fluids used once and never seen again.

    1/35 Bronco Bishop SPG - forum choice

    A little late to the party I'm afraid Dave. Looks a wonderful kit and I like what you have done to it. I agree with the interior paintwork scheme you are going for. It doesnt make a great difference but the white the British used was gloss so you may want to add a bit of gloss varnish to the...

    Chipping Advice

    The biggest issues with chipping fluid/hairspray chipping are threefold. Firstly your working environment. I work in a central heated study room, others in freezing cold sheds, others in the lounge etc etc and this has a large effect on paint drying times. Secondly the acrylic paint you are...

    Andy's 1/35 Tamiya Stug B

    You should have a floor. I take it the kit didnt supply one. Somebody more knowledgable than me should tell you that there is a PE version out there somewhere. You could scratch build one but again creating the knobbly effect would be for someone else to advise on

    The Michael Rinaldio oil painting method.

    One of the main advantages of OPR is you can start and stop it at any time. So if you are called away to do the odd chore you can come back to the build and just carry on as if you hadnt been away. In theis example with my Cromwell stack, I spent a couple of hours fully weathering the front...

    Three Arnhem Busts
