Hey, thanks Peter...honestly, I wasnt intentionally trying to make it look dusty...just bad photography on my part. It's just a traditional flat cote.....using the Testor's stuff, only using, this time, a greater amount of thinner. This time...about a 60/40 mix thinner to flat cote. This went over a coat of Tamiya semi-gloss lacquer pre-decaling coat..also about 60/40 favoring thinner. I like the results....very smooth without imperfections. I'm glad you liked it...thanks for your kind feedback. I really loved this kit....too bad Tamiya seems to have abandoned it in 1/35......1/48 scale still available. I have the Commander version in 1/35......When I do that, I'll do the 3 color camouflage version. Again, ...I highly recommend the kit.....Great fun, cool vehicle.

Had a couple of Dobermans while growing up......lovely, loyal, creatures... Miss them dearly.

Sorry to hear of this Harv...Myself, I hate moving too. Wish you luck.

Looks great Peter!

Very nice! Cool subject.

Got the wheels done on the Tamiya Steyr.....A cool little kit of an interesting vehicle. A fun build.

Been working on Tamiya's Steyr 1500A. I still have the wheels to mask and paint.... Tomorrow, I'll be cutting stencils. Then install the windshield glass.

Well, regarding the Trumpy Devastator....I hope it's coming soon. It's a cool,...underrepresented subject. I remember Monogram released one .....decades ago in 1/48...I believe one in 1/32 would be a definite first.

Some maintenance items came today;......For my Dspiae circle cutter. Some replacement cutter blades. Thought I'd buy these so I have them when needed.....bought two boxes at $ 5.99 each.

Never built a ship......saw a 1/35 css Hunley but not sure its worth the price, still, it's tempting. Nice work so far. That photo-etch looks daunting. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/mikromir-35-013-css-hl-hunley--700077

Very nice!

No, it's almost completed, but needs painting. It's Pretty much "on hold" for now.

Got this today; supposed to work well with clear parts ....it's meant for repairing watch crystals It's G-S Hypo cement. It has a fine needle applicator that includes a fine wire attached to the cap that goes into the needle when not using. Upon inspection, I had to use my 3.5 power magnifying glasses to get the cap back on! Anyway, I've heard good things said about this stuff.....thought I'd give it a try. Anyone else used this stuff? Only thing the tube is very small ( 1/3 fluid oz.)

Jeeeze, i hope you don't cancel my order out.....got to get one of those....the price..well. Higher than I usually spend...but I got to get one of those! Want to build a helo...so bad! I don't want to build something that prince Harry flew....that ....would be, well, well anyway, a Guardian or long bow for me! I might wait a while.... But, I'll get one!

Ok, I'll check that......Thanks!

Very nice. I saw those on the Sprue Brothers website but they were already sold out. They have the foreign service boxing, but the others...gone. I want one!

Always have trouble with UPS. I've told my suppliers; Sprue Brothers, scalehobbyist and Burbank's house of Hobbies not to ship my orders via UPS. Mr Surfacer is a great product use it all the time. You're making great progress so far!

Me too! Although I'm still waiting, as you know, for a Brewster Buffalo in that scale!

Another arrival from Sprue Brothers of an offering from Takom. After purchasing their Male Mk I tank, I decided to go ahead and get the Takom WW I Heavy Battle Tank Mk I Female kit as well. Being a Takom kit; availability Is always an issue, and who knows if it will soon be sold out as their kits always are. The Female MK I has the grenade screen on top which, I think, looks pretty cool. Its made up of two big photo-etch parts and sits on a frame a top the tank. . Anyway, I now have a growing stash of WW I subjects including; items from Copper State Models, Meng, and Takom.......got to build one of these soon!

Sorry to hear of the cough, ...been recovering from the flu myself.... Sinuses feel Like they're filled with cement....good luck with everything.... And...next time, buy Tamiya!

Looking good Martin, .....hope the eye problem is not too serious. Regards; Paul.

Wonderful, simply stated, wonderful!

I want that Trippel!

Wow! That is cool......I'll have to look out for that one.

Sorry to hear of your loss Ernie, My condolences.
