    What's on the Bench 2023

    This has been stuck on the bench for way too long……need to light a fire under my butt and get it finished! In fairness I was sidetracked by a little resin casting project, then I started to build something else and you know how it goes :smiling5:

    Cheers Guys, Great to have your approval on the unusual scheme :thumb2: Made some progress over the last few days and got the schürzen painted and the running gear all stuck into place. Ill give the new paint time to dry then I’ll weather the whole thing.

    Cheers Jim, very much appreciated :smiling4: Ive built a couple of UM kits and they do seem to benefit with a few tweaks. This morning I painted the inside of the light with silver and then fitted the lens, I then gave it all a light coat of matt. And now then chaps, I’m calling this one...

    Cheers guys, stuck my neck out with the scheme as I wasn’t sure how I could weather it. I let the paint dry thoroughly for a few days and then it was given a good coat of varnish. Then this morning I painted up the tools and gave it a pin wash... I did the wheels, idlers and drive...

    Si B’s 1/35 Takom blitz Pz III Ausf M

    i got it through Amazon, other online department stores are available, back in 2015. I had a check to see if they still had them but alas out of stock... I had a quick google for it elsewhere but drew a blank. It cost £95 back then but its well made and will outlive me twice over.
