"Game over man, game over!!!"

Going through the stash, I have a few choices. - a couple of M60 variants, one USMC with reactive armour, the other Israeli also with ERA - Israeli Tiran 4 with a dozer blade - Tiger 131 in two scales ( this is probably my leading contender) - Desert Storm F-4G Plus probably a couple more I can't recall off the top of my head.

Hey, how'd you get me lunch box???!!!

Actually, Martin is a bit west of Toronto. I'm in Toronto which may have led to the confusion.

Chris, I bought a Bambu Labs A1. It's a filament printer. It was $419 CAD for the printer. I went with filament as the boys will be using it and I didn't want them messing with resin just yet.

The APC just finished printing so I've done a quick clean up and test fit. I'm not sure on the scale but definitely bigger than 1/35.

I finally got to try the printer. The app for it had a free model of the M577 APC from Aliens so I had to try it. This is the rear half of the hull. There's the front half, wheels, and turrets. So 4 print cycles total to complete it.

Glad to hear you're getting back/closer to normal. Hope it keeps trending this way so you can start ballroom dancing again. PS- I hear you on the destroyed kitchen bit. I've got the same pet peeve.

Great looking cockpit there Dave.

Fantastic looking tank! A cool and unique subject.

Wow Chris! I missed this earlier thinking it was a different thread. Glad to hear you're on the mend. You and Scott really aren't selling retirement you know.

A bit more work on the Ford. I did a base coat of SCC 02 follows by Portland Stone. I did a quick wash with Mr Weathering Color. That really brings out the details. Lastly the cab and bed are assembled.

Phil, they make some very nice models. They can get fussy with the small parts at times but they're doing subjects no one else has. Check out LZ Models if you're interested in them. That's where I've been getting the kits from. Libor carries them and often has a package deal on new releases. You may need to sign up for his newsletter to get the offers. Carl

Rob, this looks like a restoration of a real Cobra. The quality of your work just makes everything seem so real.

More work on the LRDG Ford. Chassis is now complete so it'll be time for paint. The kit comes with resin wheels so I did a quick test fit to see if it would sit on all fours. Looks good to me.

Sorry to hear that Scott. Hope things get better for you.

The full interior definitely explains the high parts count. When I start this kit, I'll definitely do a WIP for it.

Another one that I've got in the stash as well. I built the C-7 version and enjoyed it a fair bit once I figured out the destructions. Speaking of which, Brett Green did an corrections list for the instructions. You should be able to Google it and find a copy. It's handy to have. Glad you picked up the Quickboost exhausts. Much easier than trying to hollow out the kit ones. Somehow Dragon missed that when they designed the kit.

The LRDG Ford continues on its road to completion. The front axle is now done. If you drill out some mounts and use some thin wire for pivots, there's no reason you couldn't make this have working/posable steering.

Nice progress there Dave. I'm looking forward to seeing how the Red Fox set works out for the cockpit. Carl

Can't guarantee a timeline for delivery. Our youngest is already trying to figure out what he wants to print.

Well, this was wwwwaaaayyy bigger than I expected I've looked at this kit on and off since it came out. Having picked up the Andy's Tiger 1, I figured it's not much bigger. Then Great Hobbies had it on sale this past weekend for $300 CAD, about $220 USD so I finally went for it. Not sure what's scarier, that it's 1500 parts or the "+" sign after it. In any case, Sue now has a box big enough to get rid of my body...

I bought a Bambu Labs A1 printer. It arrived Saturday so finally found some space to set it up. The boys are hugely excited about this. I'm looking forward to seeing what it can do. Just now, Canada Post arrived with a huge box. Much bigger than I expected.

Wow, absolutely stunning.

Same here. I'd be very happy if I painted a figure that well.
