My experience is that painting things like eyeballs, irises etc. is more a function of skill, steady hands and fineness of brush tip, than how thin the overall brush is. As a result of two of those three factors, I generally don‘t attempt to paint eyes at all anymore

Not very exciting but the final of the four storage boxes I ordered to reorganise my paints and modelling supplies! Unusually for Amazon, it took over two weeks to be delivered!

*** that is UK size 9 foot BTW to give the appropriate scale comparison!

After a short delay in customs my parcel from Kit form Services arrived today. After I had paid Danish VAT and the post office's Ransom fee. (handling fees).

Five bags of very nice resin parts to turn a Scania R620 cabover into a Scania T620 The long nose or as some call them torpedo nosed... ?

These will be put on this which I got last week...

 

[Mickc1440]

Very nice Ian, look forward to watching this conversion

 

[Jim R]

That conversion, Ian, will be an interesting build to follow. Is it near the top of your build list?

It's only when you post something like this, you realise you may have a 'problem', being a singularity i have no one to tell me so lmao.
The last few months of going to shows, evilbay etc.....
Here goes.........:dizzy:

Classic Frog kit, made this in '82, got some detail sets for this including a vacformed canopy.

Grabbed off a club member......

For my Meng Panther...... and beyond

As a motorsport fan, and i owned one last century, well the road version.

Different and a splash of colour for the club table when done.

And a vacformed canopy in box.....

For the Meng Panther diorama thats on the cards.

Stuff......

Ok the 'cages' contain 3D printed figures for the M5 3" ATG

For £15 would be rude not too
So here is my affliction in pictures and a good years building, probably add the to the stash of 600+ kits in loft.

Hi Guys

these came in the post today:


1/300 scale figures from Baccus: ancient greeks: Psiloi - Javelins and a command set. Here are some photos off their website which give a better view of the figures:


the plan to build a small diorama depicting a scene from Jason and the Argonauts.

[Tim Marlow]

For figures that are 6mm high they are fantastic :thumb2: You need to show them with something recognisable so the lads realise how small they really are…..

In the words of Max & Paddy - How far away are they?

Another delivery from the shop today including 3 more tiny trucks. I've built the Takom ones before but I'm hatching a plan and I'm hoping the Zvezda is as good as their 1/35 offerings.





Some paint for current projects and a handle that'll fit 2 of my airbrushes

 

[Jim R]

That handle is great Andy. I have one on one of my airbrushes and it's very comfortable and controllable.
Those big trucks make up into much more reasonable sized models in 1/72.
