    Pushing Back .......

    Thanks Toto, you mean the bridge made from balsa? The balsa bridge was made 40 years ago for a different concept and composition. Sat on the shelf until I had a place for it in my new diorama during covid. The completed diorama is here if you want to view it. By Friday your hands must be itching...

    Mission Complete WIP of completed vignette.

    Thanks Paul, you're welcome. Hi Paul, a little more attention is focused on my vignettes since it's a small area to work with. The kit heads, hands, boots and bike detail from Tamiya is good even with the limits of injection molding. There was very little to add on and only minor cabling...

    Mission Complete WIP of completed vignette.

    Hi, Made some progress ready for priming...the priming picked up some imperfections that needed cleaning up. But while the primer cured, I was itchy to do the base... I added stuff to the base and made it more forestry with fallen deciduous that would be partly covered with snow...

    Mission Complete WIP of completed vignette.

    Thanks Toto, Here's more as asked... Getting the riders tunic to be similar to the original figure sitting in the back with those foliage fasteners and then carving out to fit the Schmeisser...straps yet to be added. The rider had his musset bag attached with a tiny wire holding it in...

    Pushing Back .......

    Wow, looking forward to you working on the pre-fab buildings...they do cut working time shorter and these days are well made. In my days decades ago Verlinden was the only one in town that had them...heavy as hell. Have only one piece still sitting on the shelf. I make my own to fit my...

    At what point is your "stash" getting out of hand?

    How it all started... In the old days it wasn't easy to acquire models at first they were hardly distributed well and secondly my little legs couldn't peddle my little bicycle very far from home to any stationery shops that did have them. In family excursions to the towns Cold Storage, NAAFI or...

    Pushing Back .......

    Hi Toto, what a huge undertaking. Will definitely be smashing once it's done. I had one project of near similar size but fizzled out called David and Goliath...will hopefully resurrect in the future. Keep working on your build and will pull up a chair...sofa to watch this done. Cheers, Wabble

    Mission Complete WIP of completed vignette.

    Hi Guys, I scratched the musset bag since I couldn't find one in my stash. And also to shore up folds at the back of the rider. Fun part starts here. After juggling a few ideas on the base presentation I decided on a snow covered woods lane with a clump of Birch on a slope for a background...

    Mission Complete WIP of completed vignette.

    Thanks Stillp, I just sat and looked at what happens when you apply a certain action and what reacts and see if I can achieve that effect within my means. This kind of concentrated effort seems to only apply to vignettes for me and I am slowly trying to do it for my bigger dios...very time...

    Which airbrush would you buy?

    Hi Jim, my humble achievements with an airbrush are sometimes by accident. The key is to remember how that accident occurred and apply it in the next process that comes along. Some tunes are like The Bear Climbed Over The Mountain when I do repetitive lines for pre-shading that can become pretty...

    GOODBYE

    I bet it burns through your clothing like a fellow boarding school mate who had all his underwear and shorts holed exactly where the nuclear gas emits. The constant fumes must have killed the fabric. You'll know he's done it when a gathering suddenly disperses and someone shouts Grenade...

    Which airbrush would you buy?

    Haven't bought an airbrush for years...40 I guess, don't have a spray booth, clean the two airbrushes I have now once every two years, don't lay any paper, didn't practice, haven't replaced anything except the nozzle tip for one of the airbrushes and one new hose, don't wear a mask or protective...

    GOODBYE

    TMI... Too Much Information. I'm very visual so it's gonna be tough erasing that visual in my mind when you post Chris.😅 Cheers, Wabble

    Mission Complete 1/35 modified Tamiya vignette

    Thank you Paul and Paul, I was trying to find a quick build and while looking at the shelf, the guy on the bike gave me an idea. Also I had recently re watched Where Eagles Dare. Cheers, Wabble

    Mission Complete WIP of completed vignette.

    Thanks Paul, I bet there is. There is an abundant amount of hidden talent that is to be discovered amongst our friends here. Now back to the WIP. Clint had Vidal Sasoon do his hair and while blowing his hair I got him to give the figure a blast of air... The blast of air got his collar...

    Nuther noob air brush question (2)....

    For more than 40 years I don't have one. X-rays haven't shown any blockages...touch wood. I have a fan at my back and an exhaust fan above to suck out through the window. The odour still lingers in the room which keeps the dogs and cats out. I think it's different here in the tropics as we have...

    Mission Complete WIP of completed vignette.

    Thanks Tony, would have liked to have spent more time on the painting though. Anyway here's more of the WIP... Sat down and tackled the riders front and right side of the body...I learnt to work in stages to let the putty cure in between sessions. Also to have the figures unattached and...

    Mission Complete 1/35 modified Tamiya vignette

    Thanks Steven, John R, Si, Peter, Joe and Tony. I was so busy with the WIP I sincerely forgot I also had it in the complete section. Appreciate the dangly and kind comments. This years show was held in a new venue...large but not the same ambience as the two previous venues. I had only less than...

    GOODBYE

    Yup one for the excrement after the enema and the other for the bath. Now who says I'm leaving? As a matter of fact I just came back.🤪🤪:unsure:??? Yee Old Grey matter is playing tricks again Chris. 😂 Just to soften the confusion, I'm the other Richard...the Wabble. Cheers, Wabble

    Hi Guys, Adjustments from comments done and also did some puttying for the left side of the rider and right hand of the the passenger... Spokes have been cleaned. Found a resin hand to hold the Schmeisser machine gun. Cheers, Wabble
