discussion What's on the Bench 2025

[Jack L]

From a recent order from John, my attempt at a couple of Berlin Brigade vehicles. Looks a bit dark in the photos. A glue blemish on the side skirt to fix on the Chieftain. Any 80s/90s Tankers on here advise me on modern 'peacetime' CITB? The side storage baskets look very empty.

as a side note, I ordered and used some AK Markers for smaller bits and they are fantastic, although a very light shade as opposed to what it says on the tin. For example I got an 'Olive Green' which I'd say comes out as light khaki, and a brown which is more tan.

The progress looks good from where I'm looking Jack.
Not much into post war stuff but am interested in the camo that you have applied. Haven't used markers as yet still doing the old school hairy stick thingy.

Cheers,

Got a little bit more done amongst real world activities

Started on the busted screen, mouldy interior, and rusty bumpers. All need a bit of finessing but I'll get there.

Great work.

That's really nice - I've been thinking about building one of these 'Book Nooks' for a while, but didn't realise you could get a kit.

 

[A_J_Rimmer]

That looks excellent - lovely work.
Is that an Italeri Landrover?

Some very interesting examples here.

I've got a few pieces of Tamiya Heavy Metal on the bench at present.

Thanks AJ, yes it is. A bit of a pig, but a fairly simple model. Hopefully the pain detracts from the poor fit/workmanship.

Mojo has returned somewhat lately. 1/32 Tamiya Phantom. I built this some time ago but needed to rev up to a monumental painting session. Inspired by boatmans excellent build I got on with it. Working through the hundreds of decals.

That looks superb Jack. I love the Jolly Rogers schemes

 

[scottie3158]

Jack, looking very good.

 

[Jack L]

Thanks flyjoe180! Took me a while to decide on the scheme.

 

[Jack L]
