I can see that the chit chat, wise cracks and other drivel are once again taking over this section (as well) again.
I seriously believe that with out all the Carp we would only be on page 45 and not 51.
Please stop and keep on topic.
NOTE TO ALL MODS .
If you see any needless drivel delete it.

Sorry Ian, guilty as charged :upside:

The acrylic resin I bought by mistake thinking it was something else but I am sure it will get used sometime. The small pot is Uschi metal polishing powder and very good it is too.

I've used that resin for making mud with pigments, good stuff.

Another arrival here at Race Towers.



Before Mr Dewire raises an eyebrow these will be required for the next winter dio. They look so cold I had to put a pullover on.

bice figures John have used them a couple of times,

 

[Jack L]

Something nice was left on my doorstep.

Looks like an older 359 conventional cab.........and a sleeper to boot! can't tell from the box art but suspect it's a tandem rear axel. Should be a fun build Peter.

I think I can just make out two rear wheels. Ah:

The box art of older versions clearly show it’s got two rear axles.

This one's a replacement for the electronic version as the kit I have is naff but the electronics are perfect.

not much real ,just some different types of cobble stone,brick rollers,about 100mm long by 20mm or so dia,
and just need to poke some dowel through them,and the hard part is what to use,air dry clay would most
likely be the best ,but dose tend to curl up on the edges,

Green stuff, doesn't shrink when drying like air dry clay. You can also push them into xps foam.

Keeping postie busy...............

Not sure which model I'll use these guys, I have an AFV Club T34/76 or a Zvezda T34/85 that would suit.
Dave

 

[KarlW]

Not an expert Dave but would no shoulder boards put these pre 1943?

 

[Dave Ward]

More T34/76, I think the tankie seems to be holding onto the big single turret hatch of the /76

[KarlW]

Is this cheating?

 

[Steve Brodie]

Got this superb book from Bookworld wholesale in their sale, usually retails for £40.00, this one was listed for £20 (damaged), the book arrived yesterday, still in its shrink wrapping, so got a real bargain, the photography within is sublime and its a hefty tome. A4 landscape (A3 when opened);

 

[Steve Brodie]

Got this one, figures from D-Day Miniatures on their way from Poland, for the GB 'Battle of Britain';

Hi all

Apologies for not being around much recently, just not had the time to check in regularly. I have been plodding along with a few bits and pieces though, so hopefully will be able to post some updates in the near future.

As I've managed to save quite a bit of miscellaneous spending in the lock-down and I needed some paints for the RAF kits I have in the stash (I have almost none), I decided to splash out on this Vallejo set. I needed/wanted some dunkelgelb(ish) colours.

Although I have decent 0.2mm AB for the finer work, I have been plodding on with some cheap bottom-fed AB's for bulk work. I didn't have a huge budget but after reading some recommendations on here I splashed out on this Sparmax. Less than £60 and spares/replacements are not stupidly expensive like they are for my other AB :cold-sweat:.

All ordered from John. Superb service as always - ordered late Tuesday and arrived this morning. And saved almost £5 with the supporters discount too!! Just don't tell SWMBO what I had to spend to get that level of discount!! :smiling:
