That should be a good size when complete, looking forward to the build thread on this one. 🍿 -
Eduard 1/48 A6M3 Zero type 32
With the lack of self sealing fuel tanks, I guess the Hollywood exploding plane would definitely be true for the Zero's being shot down then.- Neil

Scary Moments
It was more of a threat than an offer of help 🤣 We’ve been married for 19 years so I guess we’ve kept each other a while now. My wife fights an endless battle against myself and the dog - I can make a mess in a empty room and the dog is a Westie who can be filthy 5 minutes after getting... -
Scary Moments
My wife just offered to vacuum the man cave, and dust down the shelves and tops! Horror. -
Aoshima Silvia s15
Your speed at building is very impressive, takes me ages to finish one little kit :( Looking top-notch as ever, so a nice American Muscle Car next then? 🤣 I’ll go wash my mouth out with soap now ….- Neil

Eduard 1/48 A6M3 Zero type 32
Like the look of this. I have the ‘Tora Tora Tora’ limited edition in my stash which has 2 full kits so I’ve got the comfy chair, popcorn and eyes glued to this one.- Neil

I have to change my brand loyalty ...
Oh dear, I’m afraid you have a terminal case. No hope, just try to be more swan-like - serene on top, paddling like your arse is on fire underneath! I’m seriously thinking of looking at some ‘absolutely no way I will realistically do that’ kits and donating to Models for Heroes. -
1/48 ESCI Henschel hs 129
I imagine that having that big gun shooting was probably jarring to say the least, so not surprised it wasn’t used much - but it does look kind of scary up there. Good luck with it, 1977 and looking at the cockpit decals makes me glad things have improved.- Neil

Nice haul. I’ve seen the Eduard limited editions really do end up being limited and getting them afterwards takes a lot of searching - that and plenty of £££’s -
Neils Eduard 1/72 Spitfire F Mk.IX
I had a weird effect with a decal onto the door - my own fault, as I was too hasty and added the decal before the gloss had really set and then used DecalFix - luckily the kit has 3 doors so no big deal, but I’ll bear that in mind for future, haste is not a good friend with models- Neil

Geoff’s 1/48 Eduard Spitfire Story - Spitfire Mk.I build.
Yeah, I think all they do is add more even tinier parts than 1/72 :( Good work so far, looking forward to seeing the transfers wrestled into submission- Neil

Steven’s 1/48 Spitfire Mk.IIa
The whole ‘White Cliffs’ base is inspired! I’d say this is artistry.- Neil

At what point is your "stash" getting out of hand?
Hmm, I may have to review my stash cupboard and donate some to Model for Heroes. That looks a worthwhile charity and I definitely have some that I can’t ever see myself wanting to do. My wife would say my stash should be a maximum of one in progress and next one up!- Neil

Westland Lynx - Matchbox - 1:72 scale
Very nice, considering the age of the kit too. Tell me that they are brand new paints, otherise I have no idea how you keep them so clean!- Neil

Masking fluid, how to remove from brush?
I use the Humbrol - now I find that use of a cocktail stick and one crappy brush that I only use for masking is the way to go. I just consider the brush a lost cause.- Neil

Nerdy Scale Model Spreadsheet, what to include?
I started doing this recently too using Numbers - mainly because I no longer want to have a Microsoft subscription for a few excel sheets. So I created (so far) two main sheets, one for Models and one for paints, and because Numbers is great at pivot tables, I use them too. The Paint one is...- Neil
