The Thou is 46 , my Merc is 43 and my "young" FJ1200 currently going through a full frame up restoration is 39 ..I just love pre digital vehicles ..wife's 4x4 is a mere 16 years old and has to have inspections, pay road tax and other costs . Over 40 years old they are exempt from all that expense in the UK . We are thinking about trading it in for a crew cab pick up when we retire for European caravan adventures, but not something a big as a RAM

Been busy with the "classics" hence less modelling. W123 had it's entire fuel injection system rebuilt from tank to injectors ..that was learning curve on old Jetronic fuel injection systems . and the '79 GS 1000 has also had a lot of work of the suspension , brakes and electrics ...and repainted it red because .....I can . \ Last Friday it was black

What is on your bench right now ? Share a picture :)
PanzerWomble replied to Martinnfb's topic in Modelling Discussion
On the bench ...a nostalgia build ( I built the Hasegawa F102 when I was 7/8 or so ) and an old tool from Monogram 1980 ..(two things I have decided not to do in '25)๐ ..however TBH this is a peach compared to the Trumpetah Flogger I binned mid build last year because is was such a doggy fit I gave up . Century series rock . \ -

Cremeweiss is the offical colour for interior of panzers ....aka RAL 9001 ...ATOM do one , AMMOMIG , AK interactive , Mr Paint MRP-A023 as well, but not Tamiya . Of a dab of yellow in any matt white. -
Have you finished it yet ?

Soo.... What did you just purge???

Pesky relatives taking up oxygen ....and other resources oh you mean plastic ?? And sold a built 190 in 1/48 to a guy in Austria . TBH too tied up with 1:1 cars, motorbikes , landscaping , health issues and crumbling relatives to do much modelling , however my 2025 re focus has moved towards :- 1/48 aircraft ( not jets ) and 1/35 armour , and giving up on any offerings from Airfix , Revell , Trumpeter, Zvezda and stuff tooled before 2000 . Life's too short for me to waste time on what I call "nostalgia builds" - crappy old toolings that rarely produce anything decent . Bit like plastic figures , they're generally not as good as nice resin, so less is more . Vignettes not dioramas etc .Just my perspective . Paints more towards ATOM as they have interesting chipping properties by reckon a bunch of Tamiya XF's will still be knocking around . Had a play with Mission , but apart from being expensive and not readily available in the UK, reckon Atoms did the same . Also cleared out stuff bought on a whim, and replaced it with more 'interesting to me' stuff . Laterz PW -
Nice one Gus , not a 'fishbed' at all but a rather great looking interceptor !

Just dammit, that's such sad news . I really liked Harv , when I came here Gaz and I had a long running chat thread with him , often discussing young ladies (to cheer him up a bit when he was down !) A sweet guy , gone too soon .
