Meanwhile at Race Towers these arrived.

 

[BattleshipBob]

Nice and cheap and not a certain German vehicle!



Going to use on my dio with the StuG A2, stretching it a bit as there could not have been many A's in 1943!!! But Wolfgang has a photo of one in Russia in 1942, so thats my excuse lol

 

[Guest]

Arh I knew you would crack in the end Bob, this is just the beginning to enlightenment.

 

[BattleshipBob]

Oh no its not:tongue-out3: just told the StuG stash its only a blib!!

Now i supose its got to be green:upside:

 

[Guest]

No good saying that Bob, sssh your secret is safe with me . I shan't tell a sole.

Oh yes 4BO all the way.

 

[BattleshipBob]

Of course the StuG will have put a hole in the T34!! What make of paint, not a gallon by the way, do you use for 4BO John?

 

[Jack L]

Hi Jack when it's done I'll post some pictures, I bored everyone to death with toons before.
Pete.

Not in the slightest Pete...a genuine inspiration seeing all the extras and modifications along the way. I honestly learned a lot from 'seeing' you work. If you do decide not to put up a build thread, do you mind PMing photos to me as you go?

Cheers
Jack

Anything for an LVT-4 or M29 in that set?

No, this one covers a Crab, a Sherman V, a Terrapin and a DUKW, but they do have ex-Bison sets that cover those vehicles. One of them is this set, and also see sets 35-C1082 through 84 here.

Evenin`,
Well i`m blaming Jack L for this moment of weakness!. I`ve wanted to do one of these for a long time but resisted due to the rather large,existing,stash.
However,being of a certain liking for American AFVs currently,i`m a bit vulnerable.......
so when i saw Jack`s finished Priest the other day....... my defences tumbled.........and this arrived today......

Naughty......but nice :astonished::smiling4:!!

Vallejo

Doesn't that look good, as for primer I do have some .


I've used brown before, even black so I wouldn't go out and buy the large bottle of the green If you have any of those other colours .
HTHs. Bob .

 

[BattleshipBob]

Thanks John

Got a lot of green fence paint looks similar lol

 

[outrunner]

Got this in the post today as I fancied a change from armour. Also packet of PE on it's way as I would like to try it with something cheap before committing to something more complex/expensive.
View attachment 382338
Also found out that a daft offer on Ebay has been accepted so something else to look forward to next week.

Andy.

Postie called today with a couple to go with my unusual aircraft theme. Cheap and cheerful. Not many parts so shouldn't be too taxing on my brain!

 

[Jack L]

To continue my theme of all the gear, no idea, and to really emphasise the flaws in my modelling, this mini photo booth arrived this morning. Seems really good value, with different coloured backdrops, and seems big enough to get most models in.

 

[Fernando N]

With the semi-lockdown extended till September in Holland, good thing some recent purchases arrived from Belgium and Ukraine to keep the stash filled:upside:

 

[Dave Ward]

Fernando,
you're a brave man to try that DH2 Stripdown! I attempted a Fokker Eindecker many years ago - I still have nightmares!
The Henschel 126 is a nice kit, but the parasol wing struts gave me a lot of trouble!

Fernando, I'll be looking out for that DH 2, think you will enjoy that. Hopefully Dave will get over his night mares and be able to watch the build.
