Ark Models 1/350 Shell Welder
I've heard lots of positive things about this kit: "its positively the worst model boat kit on the market" - A. Modeler But in for a penny in for a pound, I've got a couple of boat kits but thought I would build this, and to be fair to the old kit, it seems to build up to a nice model given a...- bilbo

What’s the difference between a ship and a boat?
Looking to make sure I post in the right section. I’d assume that the Shell Welder is a ship but not sure...- bilbo

UMP Black Primer
I've recently bought some UMP black primer, and when I try to use it in my air brush, it sprays fine for about 30 seconds, and then just stops. If I do a full strip down and clean it then works for 30 seconds until it completely blocks again until another full strip and clean. I'm spraying at...- bilbo

Panda 1/35 Object 279
Well the bottom and the wheels are now sort of painted, initially I tried Ron’s patented brush painting method but the wheels and bits were to fiddly and I am too impatient to wait so I broke out the airbrush. End result is this: Need to order some more primer to do the turret and the top and...- bilbo

Panda 1/35 Object 279
Still making some slow progress in this, it’s now mainly annoyingly small little bits that need to be stuck on and panda do not make them very easy at all. I getting to the point where I have todo my least favourite part of the hobby, painting. Don’t know why I don’t like it but I really...- bilbo

Panda 1/35 Object 279
Welcome John, glad to have you along for the ride. Have reached the point that I have finished the lower hull, and the wheels, the tracks, though they are currently only held together with masking tape and the will of the gods. Now need I to work out how to put it all together. Reading...- bilbo

Panda 1/35 Object 279
Thanks Tim, its certainly not for the faint hearted. Some slow progress, turret is now pretty much finished, I just need to glue on the last 3 pieces of PE, panda PE seems to be fighting back along with the rest of the kit. I've started on the main body of the tank now: which brings me to...- bilbo

Panda 1/35 Object 279
Making more progress on this now, I've completed the suspension which, interestingly, the instructions tell you to put on the wrong way around, or the part number disagrees with the cad drawing that goes along with it. So I've dry fitted them for now and will see which one looks right a bit...- bilbo

Panda 1/35 Object 279
Not much progress to report at the moment, still cleaning up suspension, wheels and tracks. I have bought a metal barrel to go with this as the kit piece is a 2 part barrel with a significant seam and step that would need to be cleaned up, however the metal barrel has no instructions...- bilbo

Panda 1/35 Object 279
not a lot of progress to show for today. I found a walk around of the only surviving example, initial reaction is that the panda model is overly simplified, and if people were so inclined, there is lots of potential to detail the model further, for example there is a lot of rivet and weld...- bilbo

Panda 1/35 Object 279
Evening all, I thought I'd better share one of my builds on here, and actually finish what I start for once. I chose this as recently there was a comment about people not knowing the quality of panda kits in terms of fit etc. so what better way to help, than to build one. Object 279 is a proto...- bilbo

Help identifying a car wreck
the other option might be a Fiat 1100: though the rear window appears a bit too short, but the wing (front & rear) shape, running boards, appear to be right.- bilbo

Help identifying a car wreck
Jakko - Look at the Fiat 1500 - I think it looks like a fiat 1500 C, with the style of the doors in a wrecked state, and in a poor qulaity photo it might look like a 2 door vs. a 4 door. messing around with you original photo: Front wing, and bumper seem to match (bumber has a small...- bilbo

Working with White Metal
The Kit form services kit that I am currently building has a large number of white metal parts. White metal is not something that I have worked with in the past so I'm unsure as to how to prepare it and work with it. Do I just use files/sandpaper to remove the seam lines and flash - if so are...- bilbo

New Military Vehicle Museum
Looks to be an interesting museum that has opened in Jordan, if you can get to it. At the very least it offers some interesting new diorama opportunities for modern vehicle modellers. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-49102824
