    Tamiya Panzer IV

    A nice simple oob build to get going again. Slow progress so far, but glue has met plastic! Plan to do the desert version.

    Muckleburgh Military museum

    Hi guys, Some pictures of the Muckleburgh collection (near Holt, Norfolk). It is the largest private collection in the UK, and at only £12 entrance, well worth a visit. Pics: photos.app.goo.gl/p9S4eDAmyXZKwrzA7

    An apology

    Hi guys, After some time absent the forum I feel I should apologise for my absence, and lack of engagement. Most especially to @Jakko and others for my failure to begin or complete the movie stars GB. I can offer no adequate explanation other than a complete absence of "mojo" in recent months. I...

    Dale's Knight Rider KITT! 1/24 Aoshima

    Late to the party on this one (laid low with flu), but's here the intro and obligatory sprue shots. It will likely be another week before I can start in earnest too due to work. This was a hugely popular TV show in the eighties, starring David Hassellhoff "The Hoff" in one of his early roles...

    Best gloss black finish?

    Best gloss black finish? (For a model K.I.T.T, aka Pontiac Firebird Trans Am) HI all, What's your best advice for a really glossy black, preferably using acrylic paint please? Obviously gloss black paint, but I've seen good results of red over gold to give shine. Can I do black over silver to...

    Airfix Fw 190D 1:72

    The propellor and nose are now on. I have to add the wheels then matte the gloss down, and I'll be calling this done.

    AMMO Mig Solution boxes - worth it?

    As the thread title I'm looking at these, but wondering if they're actually worth it? I have enamels, oils, pigments etc. so am I just "ooh, shiny!"? Anyone have any experience with these, and any feedback on content, value etc? Here's a link to them in the shop -...

    Airfix Fw 190D 1:72

    Decals done and a bit of touch up painting. I forgot the tail stripes too, so added those. The cockpit colours (red and green) are still to dry in this pic, so I expect them to dull down some. Weathering to do yet, and other parts to add - prop, undercarriage etc

    Airfix Fw 190D 1:72

    I decided I want something quick and simple for my next build, so this seemed a good bet. The kit is from 1976, so no idea of fit or finish. I think Airfix do this as a starter kit now? Anyway, two sprues, plus lower wings and canopy, and some decals. The kit is so old I had to use all my...

    A few ww2 colour reference photos

    Stumbled across this site looking for colour pics of Panzers. I think it may be a game site? Navigation is poor and it keeps reverting to Russian, but if you persevere there are some good colour armour pics. Anyway, another resource. http://wio.ru/index-m.htm

    How accurate do you make your model?

    Another little just for fun poll. No wrong answers. How much research and accuracy do you aim for? Or are you a "build it for fun" kind of modeller?

    North Star Models - any experience?

    Morning chaps, Ordered some resin figures from North Star Models in Ukraine some six weeks ago, and nothing as yet. To add to my worries two emails have yielded no reply. Does any one have any experience with this company? I'm hoping they're still on a slow boat... Website -...

    Toon Tiger

    First coat of grey undercoat applied Monday. The Mig paint is nice, but I think it's made for airbrushes!? Anyway, a second coat will go on this evening, and should cover it nicely ready for further painting.

    Toon Tiger

    Well I have to say these little toon kits really are delicious. Some of the parts actually snap together, they fit so well. Cut, sanded and glued in a few hours this wet Saturday evening. It'll need a bit of further attention (filling and sanding) before it gets it's first coat of grey :)

    What's on the Bench? 2021

    Since the Dingo is almost finished (update with figures to follow) I'm putting this little kit on the bench. I don't expect much progress next week, since I'm away on jolly hols again Monday. It's a hard life!...

    Spots on the Internet (2021)

    Just throwing this one in here for the armour guys with too much cash. Apologies if it's been posted before. Anyone fancy a really BIG model project? https://www.emodels.co.uk/soar-art-1-35-dora-railway-gun-9511.html ;)

    Latest Acquisitions (2021)

    Bit of a cheat, as I've just got the "armoured cars" magazine recently, but including a pic of all, as may be nostalgic for some. I've had the "model soldiers" book since I was about 10, and one day I will do the German sniper diorama :tears-of-joy: These, along with "How to go plastic...
