    Rehashing Hurtgen forest diorama

    Hi, spent a few hours drilling attachment holes on the pine tree trunks, five around and spaced one cm per level. Six trunks altogether. I will be attaching the branches with CA. Close up...the polystyrene block will hold the trees up when in WIP. Each level is drilled between the previous...

    After a coat of Gunze Mr Surfacer 1000 primer the lines of the MkIIc can be seen...I think my chin scoop is a bit pronounced, might think of cutting it back a little and curved upwards more... The dark patches were just black sprayed earlier to see what it looked like with some cordite stains...

    Hi all, the joys of masking is prevalent when spray painting as is evident in these next images... After scratching the prop spinner I decided to use the extra spinner from the Hasegawa kit as it has a more bulbeous look. Mine was too sharp. Cheers, Wabble

    ​​​Hope images load faster... The prop was painted as well except I didn't paint the tips first so it'll take longer with lots of masking ahead. With extra paint remaing I painted the interior of my Hudson. This shows that I sometimes prefer painting with parts still attached to the sprue...

    Thanks Scottie and Tony, I had a wonderful Christmas eve at the hospital emergency when I accidentally sliced off the tip of my third finger on the potatoe slicer. Hazards of cooking I suppose. Thought I needed stitches as there was a little bit of bone visible. X-rays were done, tetanus, pain...

    Rehashing Hurtgen forest diorama

    The sticks are still drying so I roumaged my spare parts box and found the old figures from a flood ruined diorama I did hundreds of years ago. One looks at them and you'll see why. Lots of puttying for scarfs, bandolias and leggings to beef them up to winter gear. I'll add wool caps and scarfs...

    Richards completed 1/700 scale IJN Ships make over.

    Next batch... And just for size comparison... This is what's underneath the canopy...a Shinto ceremony with two Shinto priests and an alter... That's all. Thanks. Cheers, Wabble

    Only just super glued Cadburys foil wrapping on the back of the tiny rear view mirror. Here are the two tiniest scratches I've made...gun sight and the rear view mirror for the Hurricane. You can just see the gold backing on the rear of the mirror... Just a comparison for size... They will...

    Hi guys, Yay!! I managed to mate the curved top that I carved to the three panels for the front canopy. Just waiting for the glue to cure then I'll cut and sand off the protruding edge, polish and then drop future over it and draw the excess with tissue. The joints are where the frame panel is...

    Thanks Paul and to leviate the frustration I turn to humouring myself like here...while working on the canopy I did a Princess Leia with rolled blu tac to hold the main canopy to help with adjustments to the panels of the front canopy... These are the components for the front canopy... Cheers...

    Hi, After filling up the hole I fixed the outboard Hispanos on... Then I added exhaust deflectors using thin plastic strip on both sides. This particular aircraft has it and not all were modified with it. I don't know if it was a standard fixture in later models. I think loosing the front...

    I have decided to scratch the front canopy having armed with a reference canopy from the Hasegawa kit my friend gave me. I started by shaping the top curved section from a plastic alligator clip...example below... ​And the front and side panels from the sheet of transparency. I hope this...
