Tiny bit of progress on the LRDG. Some more weathering, and I test fit the crew. Unfortunately I noticed at this point that I was missing the right arm for the driver. I contacted Libor at LZ Models and he said he'd send out a replacement so that was great. The bed is next. Need to make some progress there.

A small order from Great Hobbies. Some Despise brushes and a panel liner. The brushes are an interesting approach. The handles are aluminium and you replace the brush tip. Next up are some of their paint markers. Lastly some dry brush paints and the AK sand I need for my M551 Sheridan build .

Glad to see you're able to get back to he bench Dennis. Even happier to hear you've got someone making sure you don't get too carried away and set back your recovery. It can do easy to overdo it at times. Carl

The seat as others have said really looks stunning. Plus the belts have a natural drape that's hard to replicate in PE, 3D decals or even the fabric/paper ones. Not to mention assembly. Special Hobby have made leaps and bounds in the quality of their kits in the last few years. They still have the odd fit issue from time to time but it's worlds better than they used to be.

Gotta love a Sherman with a big gun.

I'm on Britmodeler so if you want me to ask for you, let me know.

Need a Tomcat to use them on? Asking for a friend.

Rob, some great progress. Interesting to see the fit issues with the body. At least you know where to start with in terms of rectifying the problem.

Chris, I have a couple kit boxes that are full of leftover parts: - Hobbyboss B-24 with all the stuff for prop kits - Tamiya F-4EJ box for jet parts - - Meng Jagdpanther one for tank parts and another tank box for just leftover track links. Can't recall which one. They worth keeping since you never know what might be needed down the road.

"Toss me the idol, I'll throw you the whip!!!" Oh wait, that doesn't quite work in this case. Let me get my kids back to school and then we can sort it out.

Getting there.

We've got one of these at the front door.

Here's a kit you don't see much of. No AM for the guild but there's an article on Armourama about what parts are for which version.

How big is that cabin Mark?

Back to the LRDG, cab is on, or what's left of one. Seats are in too. This would have been the perfect kit for the GB starting today. Guess I jumped the gun a bit.

"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.
