    You can't park there mate!

    Thanks chaps. I've made a couple of boo-boos. The kit includes the steering mechanism, with a rod and two tiny cranks that are fitted without glue. Once the body is married to the chassis these can be connected together and cemented. Unfortunately one has gone AWOL. If the carpet monster...

    Dspiae mini cordless (USB) Grinder

    Wow, it's almost like I never mentioned the size difference much earlier....

    Thanks guys. I started it on Sunday evening but you're up to date now.

    You can't park there mate!

    It really is. I'll try and pick up on some of the details as I post the painting shots.

    You can't park there mate!

    Thanks Jim. It's the third idea that I've started, but the previous two just didn't seem fitting. I have to say firstly, what an incredible kit this is! Plenty of parts for a 1/72, with some of them incredibly small, but very detailed. Most of the parts, I'd say at least 90%, fit together...

    You can't park there mate!

    You can't park there mate! You know how it goes, having a day off from invading Europe so you decide to take your halftrack out and see what she can really do. However, you get a bit ambitious with a river crossing and get her stuck in the mud. You radio back to base and all your comrades...

    You can't park there mate!

    Well, here we go. I can't hope to match one of Ron's masterpieces but that's not the point. I'm going to build a subject he might have chosen, in a way he might have built it, and have fun along the way. It started in a very un-Ron-like way as I couldn't find an image I liked for inspiration...

    Dspiae mini cordless (USB) Grinder

    There are a few nice touches to this that make Dspiae stand out as a manufacturer that thinks their designs through. As shown in the video, the easily lost Allen key is stored nice and safely in the handle. Also included are two spare grub screws for the chuck. Again, they could quite easily...

    Dspiae mini cordless (USB) Grinder

    I have a big assorted kit of Parkside bits, they don't fit my Dspiae 😕

    Dspiae mini cordless (USB) Grinder

    This is my main niggle with this. The collet is 3mm as you say. Dremel and other widely available bits are 1/8", or 3.2mm, so don't usually fit 😕 It just means looking around for bits with a 3mm shank

    Land Rover FC 1/76 kitbash

    Thanks Jim, it was certainly a test for the old peepers. And Steven & Tony, thanks. I thought it would be a real challenge at this scale but it was a great change from larger pieces. I seem to be having a run of small stuff at the moment. I'm currently working on some Epic Scale Warhammer...

    Land Rover FC 1/76 kitbash

    And we're done. A fairly simple kitbash but I found it much more fun than just knocking a regular kit together.

    Guess who has a resin printer on order? 🤣 This is the un-glamorous side lol. Hopefully more exciting developments will follow shortly.

    Pesky dust and blowing it away

    Sounds like it could be lint from the paper you're using. Those types both break down quickly when wet. I suppose the "best" would be a guaranteed lint free cloth like crows feet that we use in my trade. So called because of the pattern imprinted on it. A bit rich for modelling though, I just...

    Land Rover FC 1/76 kitbash

    After sorting the underside I've started with the paintwork. First off was Nato green all over the body, which I then lightened with a tan colour for the tilt With it being so small, a few blobs of blu tack were ideal for the masking A splash of Nato black left me with this I decided to...

    A great start Jim, and absolutely the kind of thing Ron might have done.

    Water washable resin

    Thanks Lee. I ended up going for regular, IPA wash resin in the end. I figured the water would still need treating like a hazardous material anyway so thought I might as well stick to IPA. I'm used to handling chemicals, we'll just have to see how much the boss complains about the odour! 😂
