Do you insist on chasing them around the village first ?

Zoom Zoom , typical Tamiya , perfect fit , soft detail , not many parts ! It'll all be in the paint . 1/3 way built in one session . This tank is all about that 105 ! RUN OUT OF AMMO??? I 'LL CLUB YER TO DEATH !!! More another day

That is a seat and a half . ! Had to check we were still in 1/48 !

Wowsers , there's a lot of crazy stuff going into this GB .

Used to keep stuff , then throw it away later ...now I skip stage 1 and most goes to bin at the end of a build I do keep track links if they are good though , although have occasionally sold of bulk loads of plastic links as I move towards Fruils more. I keep decals for a while, even though I can make my own or make masks on the silhouette ...probably just as pointless. Since I sell 85% of what I make , and don't like building the same model* over and over it makes sense not to keep too much stuff on top of all the diorama making materials I hold. * mostly true but is that a nice new Panther over there?

Anyhoo the main event is ...my first ever 1/35 Sherman .... Shame on you Tamiya ....wubber twacks in 2012 ....oh dear ... And I may do a lil dio for it to sit on ... Laterz PW

Don't diss the sand man ...it's very fine and can be turned into desert like ...

Gerbils, Meerkats or Hamsters ?

Good Lord .......you've gone "all in" on this one Hubert !! Interservice rivalry, buried water , Laborde taking his wife !!( shades on The English Patient here ), treason , prison and a Lukeagraph obscure model , plus........ added camels Salute ! Give this man the prize now ! Fascinating backstory which I love.

Can't go wrong with an 109 ! Classic airframe .

Gulf War 1 ? Odd lil bugger the Sheridan !

Be a cracking build - this is a short run (ie awkward) model ? Best I can do is share pic of a Mystere from my Newark trip earlier this summer

Fascinating subject if I'd been asked I wouldn't have said these were in North Afrika (too late in war) , and clearly would have been wrong . I also know nothing about the aircraft Looks a great project

Sloooooow down or you'll crack the transaxle ....

I was on leave when this one landed , superlative Phantom ! I'm with Peter though , stencilling sucks which I why I avoid it. Applaud yours though.

Love it , the fuselage , the aged paint on the yellow wings, rigging's bang on . Interesting subject too .

I'm not starting till the GB is officially open coz thats how Brit's roll 🫵 .....and ...um ....my first entry hasn't arrived yet either 🤕

Excellent skills on display Mike

I won't get delivery till Monday ...but in much same state , have paused the Chiefy for now

1st Sept I think , of course we are six hours ahead in the UK ....

Tamiya didn't paint that....take a bow ... thats a lovey job of work you've done ! Freehand cammo too I'm guessing . FYI It's the tonal control I'm digging , very sweet if that is all "out of the gun" as they say . I'd be digging in the oils ot get a similar faded look .

I missed this , Peter thats a truly lovely Spit ! I love that paintwork you done 👍 PW
