Bloody Hell!

Crack collection there Scott. A few I would love to have in my understairs stash. The main one would have to be the K.O.T34.

My latest:

1/32 Pacific Coast Hurricane (metal wing BoB version)

1/48 Airfix TSR-2

I don't normally do jets, but I'm looking forward to doing a 'what if' TSR-2 in the colours of my old Squadron, namely 41 Squadron. The idea is to do it in early 1970s RAF colour scheme, with the after-market Cammett recce pack (41 was a tactical recce unit), with the assumption that the TSR-2 replaced 41's Phantoms in the recce role, rather than the Jaguar.

Sometimes people really hack me off!

It's a good job we've met and got on well.............I'm talking about you Scott!

[Ian M]

So I'm guessing you got the next box from your benefactor?

Like the Femal and the Whippet- Been looking at those a few times. That cute little "honey" is a nice one too.

I went to the model shop today and brought....... three bottles of Vallejo!!! Yay!

Ian M

 

[Guest]

Hi Ian yeah that wa actually 2 boxes and my good lady wife has already laid claim to some of them, but i agree i do like the female battle tank and the wippet....hmmmm could be a dio there but iam most pleased with the K O T34 i was wanting this for my welcome to russia dio and i love the german horse drawn convoy. Ron mate not to worry carrie has already staked her claim.....she's gone off with desert herbie and a few others..lol.

[Guest]

Stonking set Scott, I also love the KO T34. The horse drawn stuff is very nice, I have had one on the go since Christmas (something else I never got around to finishing) The figures are very useful as they are resting, most people don't get many resting figures, you appear to have all there is lol. The Russian rocket launcher lorry is a great kit, get that built tomorrow.....

 

[AlanG]

Some wire and brushes from John

 

[Guest]

As Fenlander says resting figures are very useful and I'm always on the lookout for them. Here are a couple of crewmembers on a Steam Coaster adapted from 1/35th military crew. The guy splicing the rope was a Russian Tank crew member and the cook is, not surprisingly, from the Tamiya Field kitchen set.

Action figures never work quite as well as figures at rest when you want to adapt them to other situations.

[Guest]

Many thanks for the kind words Richy, have a look here:

I'm afraid I haven't updated it since I added the figures and I haven't done a great deal to it recently but I hope to spend quite a bit more time on it in December and January and move it forward a bit.

 

[Guest]

One day I'll do an inventory of everything in the attic and scare myself. It just makes me wish that I'd bought a lot more when I worked in a model shop as a teenager.

 

[Guest]

Had a quick trip to Bradford this morning to quote on a Ford Capri respray, and on the way back spotted a car boot in action, so glad I popped in an old fella, giving up the hobby as it was getting to expensive for him, so bought this little lot from him.

 

[Guest]

5 Bottles of Klear.... time to sit in corner and sulk.

Tony.. (

 

[Guest]

lol Tony, I was down to my last 2 bottles, so they where a god send.

 

[Guest]

The stuff is like golddust.

Tony..

Hi Ray, what a coincidence,I've been leafing through Lorant and Goyat's tomes on JG300 and was contemplating doing my current project as Eberhard Gzik's "Red 2 - Rita" but have gone for something a bit more obscure. Good find,well done!

Cheers

Steve

 

[Guest]

Hi Steve you have saved me some research there, was going to investigate "Rita", now thanks to your info I have a start with Eberhard Gzik.Many thanks, I have plenty of 1/32 bf109s now, so might trade it.
