Love it! Looks so impressive!

The silk thread I have is Guttermann. I've had it for a while, but cannot remember what I paid for it.

I actually only have one RFM kit so far... still sitting in the stash. Looks great, though.

Now you have my attention! Love Dragon armor!

I'm quite impressed by your level of detailing with the rigging and steering. Somehow, I thought that tiller arrangement would all be below decks with only the wheel visible. Thanks for the education. Have you ever considered silk thread? It's much less fuzzy than other threads, and after you've worked it and it has gotten a bit fuzzy, it can be de-fuzzed with the quickest lick of flame. And I mean quick! Then, it can be sealed with CA. It won't look as Rope-like in macro photos. But I much prefer it to fuzzy thread.

Great work, Carl!

Brilliant job, all round!

Hi everyone. Two steps forward, two steps back. When I applied the air-drying clay the first time, I neglected to put any anchors in the foam. So, once dry, the clay detached itself from the base. I imagine I could have glued it back on... but I wanted to take this opportunity to improve the surface. One of the things I wanted to do way to fix the places of the soldiers while the clay was still wet. Hopefully the improvements will show as I go along... but here are the setup pics. Sadly, the resin handles of the Teller mines broke. I will have to replace them with wire, I reckon. Happy modelling!

Thank you, all!

Two beauties, John!

Thank you, Rob. As much as I like the idea of warlike action-poses, these more relaxed fellas seem to be easier to get right. As always, I'm glad to have you around, Peter. I appreciate your input.

Glad to see you back, Peter! Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Wow, Rob! Really jumping forward, now. Looks excellent.

Thank you, fellas! Hopefully I can make a decent job of painting them.

Hi everyone, I haven't done a lot of modelling recently. I've been lazy, and waiting on word about some AM for the kit. Seems my attempt to get the parts via Aliexpress has fallen through. Thankfully I already got my refund. Here are the three figures from Panzer Art. One I modified a little. He was originally equipped with a Ppsh 43 with two drum magazines in their Russian ammo pouches. Because I wanted to make this more of a very late war dio... to fit the life of the Jagdpanzer, I replaced the PPsh with a Stg 44 carried on his back. I needed something to fit the empty sockets of the drum mags, so I scratch built a Stg Magazine pouch with styrene, masking tape, and Mr. Surfacer. I also gave him a pistol holster and an empty hand. Nicely, the figures can all stand on their own. Happy modelling!

Are you still hoping to make a I out of that II, Rog?

I really like that look, Martin! Definitely used and weather-worn.

It looks so very nice and pretty, Rob. I've always wondered if these ships were actually longer than the masts were tall.

Interesting subject, John! Will follow with interest.

Now that is some eye popping detail, Rob!

Well done, Paul! We need more cool field piece models.

I love all of those subtle shades, Martin. Very inspiring.

Well done, John! Nobody would ever guess it had an 8 out of 10 cuss factor.

a couple figures arrived today...
