I order from them a lot...a good business.

Looking good John!

Some items from AFV Modeller came today. Some aftermarket stuff to be used on my big Das Werk StuG III in 1/16. These include ammunition stowage racks that are missing from the kit. these would be visible if the hatch was open..so I think they're needed. Also, I got a better shell-catcher basket to replace the kits flat-sided one. I did borrow pictures from their website

That's a kit I've wanted to build... a big He111. But could never find one. Anyway, I'll watch your build with intrest. I always thought that was a handsome aircraft. Those replacement brass landing gear look very nice.

Just arrived....Got it from Burbank's house of Hobbies. From Tamiya it's their Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero Fighter Model 21 (Zeke) In 1/32 (60317). I've been wanting this kit for some time. It looks nice... I has lots of detail and many features (gimicks?) Like working flight controls, functional landing gear that fold and are sprung, photo-etch, and etc. I've been looking at the instructions that I downloaded from Scalemates for some time...it looks like a straightforward build. Going back to my roots here....I built a collection of Japanese aircraft in the 80s. They were mostly 1/48 offerings from Tamiya, Otaki, Hasegawa, and Nichimo.

Thanks, her recovery will take a long time but we're getting her the best help we can..we've got physical therapy all set up and in addition to my help we also arranged to have a nurse or aid to visit a couple times a week. What was great was the ability of myself and my siblings to join forces to organize and manage her care. As in your case , I feel its our duty to take care of parents the best we can.

The plane and Figures are masterfully done. It's hard to believe they're in 48th scale the detail painting on the figures are so good!

Whats on my bench? A big Sherman that now, due to circumstances, must be put on hold. A little more than a week ago, My mother fell on some stairs. The result was a fractured wrist and upper humerus. We put her in a local rehab facility, but we were not pleased with the standard of care. My sister and I have been caring for her at home. My sister is leaving at the end of the week, so I will be caring for her while living at her home. So, I will be away from my bench for a long time. My sister has been amazing..... She's like a force of nature: organizing everything so far excellently. I have some hospital experience with patients I think I'll do fine. I have already been bringing her to the doctors appointments and everything for a couple of years. I don't mind...it's my duty to do so. Anyway, I will still post things if I can; purchases, comments etc. I enjoy seeing other members builds even if I'm not building...The talent, civility, and generous spirit of this forum is amazing. Thanks; Paul P.S. My mother is doing very well and is in good spirits.

That's looking great, Peter!

Yes, also the Galileo shuttle!

I've watched some of Rick & Morty stuff....good stuff I also like some of the early Venture Bros.....anyway.. A good laugh sometimes really beneficial. Enjoy!

I have this weird... Well, idea. I recently purchased a Panzer 38 in 1/16 scale. I already built one in 1/35.......Tamiya has one in in 1/48. If I can find ones in smaller scales......well, a sort of Panzer '38 Russian doll sort of thing......Is this weird?..... I don't know, just asking....these pills make me sleepy....Beatrice, is that you? Water please with my pills, my dear...now there's a good girl!

Just found out: Gecko Models is coming out with a 1/16 Universal Carrier Mk II and a PAK 40 anti-tank gun also in 1/16 scale.Cooooool! .

What does that go on.....it's big!

That T28 is beautiful John!

Cool subject! I've been considering some of Amusing Hobby's offerings; their Fv4005 and Conquerer II kits. There's only one Fv4005, and is currently being restored on YouTube by a Mr Hewes. The Badger is certainly an intimidating beast!

Yes, I got those too.. I also have a 1/16 M5 Stuart by ClassyHobby.

How about an insane ,German, overly engineered, Huge, one-off mine roller thingy? The Krupp Raumer! It had 2 engines. Takom has kits in 1/35 and 1/72. I got one in my stash....

Whether you have the big Andy's 1/16 M10/Achilles or one in 1/35 (Tamiya shown) in your stash it would qualify as they were powered by GM 6046...a twin diesel powerplant!

Do these qualify? Got two V8s!

I would have jumped at the chance.... I always do..bad impulse control... reason why my model stash gets bigger....therapy needed I guess. Oh!...that looks cool press buy now!

Thanks. Yes, looks like a great business..... Lots of interesting stuff offered with great explanations of each product. For now, I'm just going to make that 1/8 martians eye glow. This new tripod kit has a lot of potential in terms of lighting... With many YouTube videos showing how its done. The 48th scale '53 war machine demands to be lit. I was also pondering using luminescent paint charged by UV led lights...if that could work. Also perhaps glow tape or side glow fiber optic...We'll see . I started working on my neglected Andy's Sherman again, but as a simple side project, any of these kits would be great.

A most impressive workshop set-up Hubert!

A few things today: First from an outfit called Evan Designs, https://evandesigns.com/collections/hobby-leds. A lighting kit for that Pegasus Martian kits' big eye . a LED set (NHP1) with a"Nano" Led, wiring, switch, and a battery holder for a coin-type battery. Next; Some Leveling thinner. Always need that. Last; from Pegasus hobbies, Their Alien Tripod (No. 9005) supposedly in 1/144 scale. This thing, when complete, stands 15 inches tall! (38.1 cm) kits available from Monsters in motion. https://www.monstersinmotion.com

Great to hear..I always wanted their Kingfisher!
