    To go with the recent reissue of Tamiya's 1/12 Porsche 935, Scale Motorsports had announced they're going to re-release their detail set. https://scalemotorsport.com/collections/super-detail-kits/products/porsche-935-big-scale-super-detail-kit It was more than double the kit price when it first came out so I'll be curious to see what it goes for this time. I had someone offer the original set to me for €750 recently....

    Wow, good save. Not sure if it would work but Tamiya make a brush on decal adhesive. I have a couple bottles of it, one even has decal softener in it. Carl

    Harv, it's on their Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/JETMADS2016/photos/a.304487680473524/760241194898168/?type=3&source=48&refid=7&_ft_=qid.6926684150227830222%3Amf_story_key.6785272042880982993%3Atop_level_post_id.760241394898148%3Acontent_owner_id_new.302443914011234%3Apage_id.302443914011234%3Asrc.22%3Aphoto_id.760241194898168%3Astory_location.5%3Astory_attachment_style.photo%3Aview_time.1612744329%3Afilter.h_nor%3Atds_flgs.3%3Aott.AX_O00uzM2Ghben_&__tn__=EH-R Hope the link works.

    Jetmads wants to know what should they work on next. They've posted that after the Lear and X-3, they're doing a 1/48 kit and have three in mind. The options are B-47, P2V and a Tu-128. I think I know what @Clunkmeister will be voting for since it'll look perfect next to his B-36... Carl

    It really does seem that way doesn't it? I had some pics up of the stash earlier this year after my reorganization but just in case:

    Some fantastic looking builds here so far. It's not hard to see the love and effort out into them. For me, I think it's my Spitfire FR IX. Being pink, it definitely stands out and people are often surprised by its colour. Carl

    Truly stunning. How long did it take to do all the rivets? Not sure I want to know. Carl
  8. BlrwestSiR
    It looks absolutely fantastic so far. Can't wait to see what you do with the figures. Carl

    I got a bit more done. The bogies are now completed. I also checked my reference photos to determine the correct drive sprocket. RFM gives you three options. I then started on the tracks for the hull. I'm using the Dragon ones as I have more than enough of them and they have to be glued together anyways. There's a total of 37 links per side for the applique armour not including the front hull. So this could take a bit.

    So true Rob. Canadian Sherman crews had just about any and everything on their tanks. They definitely weren't as neat and tidy as the boxart one.
  11. BlrwestSiR
    Looks fantastic Rob. Keep it up! Carl

    I wonder if they're zinc. I have a couple sets of Tiger tracks made by Karaya and they're zinc. The odd bit of flash but very clean otherwise. I don't think they make them anymore. Carl

    Or possibly someone got the scale conversion wrong on the shrink ray and they decided to just release it.
  14. BlrwestSiR
    Some would call that the vacation stash. Me, I think it's a very focused one. Mine is all over the map. I mean I have Nascar stock cars in mine, nevermind a '59 Cadillac...
  15. BlrwestSiR
    Nice to see this Mark. Is it the One Man Models kit? Carl

    Meng has announced a 1/24 Fokker Triplane. https://aeroscale.net/news/large-scale-fokker-triplane I wonder if this is an upscaled version of their 1/32 kit?

    I stopped by my LHS as they're open for curbside service today and used the gift card my wife gave me for Christmas. I keep running of storage space for paints and had been looking for more of the paint racks made by Ammo. I found some online but the shipping costs effectively doubled their price. I called the LHS to see if they could get them. They said they had a couple of each in stock! They're weren't listed yet on the website and I was the only person who had asked about them. I bought a pair of the Tamiya/Mr Color/AK Real Color size and after some thought, one of the Ammo/Vallejo ones. I decided I had had enough of my boys' idea of putting the paint away when they're done: These are some of the best paint racks in terms of space efficiency, capacity and value (shipping notwithstanding) in my opinion. Still can't believe I have six already and they're effectively full. Carl

    Jeroen, are the pins brass? And where did you get them from? If you asked me 30 years ago, I could've told you what the box said but now all I can remember is 3 something. The lighthouse says China on it. Carl

    You're just motoring along nicely there Cees. I like that that you started at the stern and are working your way forward. Carl

    Just saw this. Fantastic build and diorama.
  21. BlrwestSiR
    Well, Martin is Canadian...

    I ordered some AM for my Scammell. I also had some more SBY2202 ships arrive.
  23. BlrwestSiR
    Wow, they look painted on. I'm always impressed by folks who can get decals to behave.
  24. BlrwestSiR
    I will often tape the metal ruler I have to the model. This keeps it in place and I don't have my fingers in the way. Also, are you using light passes with the scriber or doing a single heavy pass? Doing multiple light passes gives you better control if you're not doing that already. Otherwise, lasers? Carl
  25. BlrwestSiR
    The thinner baseplates do look much better than your first effort. Can't wait to see more. Carl
