  1. One home made tree later. Needs a little trimming as there a few stray fibres.
  2. Saved up for this and had a few email conversations with Pastor John regarding what i needed but.... 1/32 AIMS Ju88 C6 Dayfighter conversion set plus a decal sheet for the two i want to build (still need to buy the G6 set).
  3. Yep the broom is coming out here too. Looks flippin' great.
  4. Had a play with some fine foam scatter tonight. Used three different colours to try and add a little contrast.
  5. I have to admit Phil that i am enjoying doing this. I've sort of stalled with my 'plastic' builds due to a little mental health issue but this is starting to get me back into it.
  6. After finishing work today i decided to have another go at some of the diorama bushes. I've been 'teasing' some of the lichen apart and it looks (to me at least) like i have some really decent bushes/branches here. I think these will paint up and hold leaves vey nicely. Might have to go out and get some more lichen.
  7. I pass this distillery every day when going to work. It's about 2 miles from my house
  8. That's because it's erm.... mud Dried some off in the oven to kill any bugs and mixed it with PVA glue (white glue). It was something that a friend once told me to do. He said why buy expensive artificial mud when you have a garden full of it.
  9. Whilst i've been gathering kits and materials for my upcoming 1/35 Ardennes diorama, i thought i'd better actually learn how to make one. So i've been having a play with static grass and an old 1/48 Tamiya Fw190 A8/R2 i did years ago. This dio is a mule for learning techniques but i'm getting there. I think the grass has come out ok for a newbie lol
  10. So. I've gone and done a decent amount of overtime in the last month and now i have (that'll be had now) some free cash to spend on myself. So as mentioned in Jeroen's thread i've ordered a nice Brassin Fw190 F8 BMW801 set. Also ordered Brassin Fw190 A8 cockpit set, AIMS Ju88 C6 Dayfighter resin set and Ju88 Fighters decal sheet.
  11. I'm trying to find a space for a 1/32 Ju88 build i have planned let a lone a 1/24 Typhoon lol
  12. Love it! Love it! Love it! With a side order of Love it! I SO want to do one of these. You've done a fantastic job
  13. Cheers Jeroen. Just ordered myself a Brassin F8 engine. Taking all the hints from you build lol
  14. What company is the 0.4mm rod from? I can't find any that small anywhere. Smallest i can find is 0.5mm. NB. Found some now. Plastruct do a 0.38mm rod
  15. Sorry if i caused offence to you Hubert. It was not intended. Nothing lifted from any propaganda outlet at all. I'm just a proud Brit who voted yes for Brexit for the reasons i stated in my last post. I know people over the small canal cannot understand the reasoning for us doing it. But we have and for some small inconvenience for a period of time, it's a price i'm willing to pay. Anyway. I am sorry to the OP for detracting from the original topic.
  16. Not wanting to be political but. One man's mess is another man's justified cost of freedom from an undemocratic oppressive money pit of a union.
  17. The canopy being the main one for me. I am really considering to try and save up for the HK kit.
  18. Model related although not a kit..... Asparagus Fern (with Glycerine preservative) for making pine trees for my upcoming Ardennes diorama
  19. You've answered your own question there. Hands down winner imho. Same goes for the Brassin engine
  20. You probably do know already but according to Fw190 Vol.3 (Smith & Creek) the aircraft Fw190 A8 (Yellow 6+) W.Nr. 738159
  21. Understatement of the decade me thinks lol Another wurger build. I'm in!
  22. I can only hope when i come to building my other Fw190s properly, i can try to live up to your standard of true workmanship. This has been and continues to be a pleasure to watch.
