It was in the back of my head that the kit is a bit of a dog, but there isn't a great deal of choice. Monochrome do one but I think it's just a rebox of Trumpeters kit, same box art even.

For some reason Bob, the boxtop art makes it appear to be a damn good snow plow too. Just look at the vehicles in the background!!! On the other hand, we have 5 fingers..........
Due to the lack of model shows this year and with the funds I had saved up for them, I had this s
I can now make all the rivets I need and don't have to chase them around the table anymore. I also received these today as I had mentioned ordering them in an earlier post. In a huge box came these,
They are sitting on top of each other and you can see how huge the 229 is.
Its box is 53 cm x 33 cm and 16 cm deep. I can see why Barry loves Zoukei Mura kits so much,
Here, all of the outside parts are molded in clear plastic so you can see all the innards if you wish not to paint it. Tons of parts with Incredible detail and so finely molded too. I will tackle this puppy next winter when I am retired. Oh, and this one too,
This WNW kit offers so many options for the build, is finely molded and has many reference pics too. I didn't buy this as a collector's item or to resell it, but to build it in retirement too. I'm still dwelling on the SWS Heinkel 219 and it's only €179,95 at the moment............................
My order to Luciano Brach is also paid for and it should be here sometime next week. Nothing like bread and water for the rest of the summer I guess.................

Its a good read, and handy reference. As for the flesh wash, never heard of that before. Assume you paint basic flesh then a wash , for smaller scale figures
Pretty close Steve. Paint the basic flesh colour, add highlights on the nose, forehead, chin etc in a lighter flesh tone....then use the flesh wash. It will settle in the crevices so bringing out the shadow areas and make the figure come alive. It will work up to 1/35 figures, anything larger and it will start looking crude.
Well these quickies are certainly addictive ( just ask Dave ) , just got this through the letter box . As quick build snap together kits go it’s quite complex , having two ( count em!) sprues and 24 parts! I always liked this tank as I remember building the old Airfix 1/76 kit as a kid and loving the unusual look of it , rather like a stack of saucepans ! Anyway I can’t wait to get on it and I’ll be asking the tankies on here stupid questions about which green to use :smiling5:

I just give up ! ( this is a joke between Dude 1 and myself) However if he keeps this up food parcels will indeed be needed.

Here at Race Towers the postie called in this morning and presented me with these.
Both destined for the 12.8 Pak Dio.

Dude 1 these were really needed promise. :smiling3:

One of his best sets of videos, IMHO, because they not just show the tank but also take it through its paces in the third one.
If you don’t point them out, I doubt many people will notice in the first place
A couple of belated birthday pressies I got for myself, took a bit longer than 12 parsecs to get here from Chicago:tongue-out3:
Although I have some of them already, these Bandai kits are a true gem and getting them at normal retail price is next to impossible here so that’s why the big lot, US postal tariffs are a killer too so the more in one box the better…
Yes Allen no more kits for the foreseeable future now save the four Hurricanes I ordered from Arma, any SW or RNLAF is still fair game, the upcoming Eduard Spitfire combo etc.etc.etc.:tongue-out2:

Well Jell!
(They may have said that last week......)

Thanks mate, with so many rebels in the other imperials went to the other side of Endor clearing a shelf a bit:tongue-out3:
Hope you have enough room in your place for the big owl, I have a Revell one still in its box because when finished were to put it:thinking:
And if it has a nice price tag, go for buddy otherwise you’ll be disappointed when it’s not there anymore:thumb2:
Ps. I don’t have to sell any of my kits yet, just turned 35 so I’m still a kid compared to the most here:nerd:

Fernando please don't encourage Mr Dewire. :upside:
