Sorry to hear about the eyes , good luck next week . I like Takom's models , but their tracks aren't great IMHO . I don't know if metal ones are an option at 1/16 . For me - I find the drilling and pinning less bother than trying to glue guide horns or tiny pin ends.

More reasons to visit 😀, I was thinking HMS Unicorn , which I got to walk around some years ago . Used to be a great little Indian restaurant in the town as well .

A large bridge , quite a cute town centre and a no Interesting old wooden ship as well , least last time I was there 20 years ago

If you don't mind Harv , i thought I’d tag my news into the bottom of your thread. As off June 6th …yup D day , we will have left our home at Wheelers End cottage and moved to a bigger house in Brize Norton. So we swap Chinooks at nearby RAF Benson for Globemasters at Brize . Hopefully leaving enough time to unpack and do my F 4 for the wet GB

Continuing in the line of "try something differen"t .... making buildings in Qwerty not 35th scale.... Also found a likely scenario , the Battle for Geel in Belgium , 8 -23rd September , where us Brits ( 50th Inf Div) battled to a fro over the town of Geel with the Germans of 85th Inf , II Reg Falschy troops supported by Jagdpantherererers of the 559 SPzJAbt . Some period pics from Geel ATB attached too I'd never heard of this battle till I went looking, so happy again to learn something new. Yes those are C47s for Market Garden .. Church got a pasting , the spire taken out on approach as had became standard practice in France etc . Bloke out front with an odd looking helmet ...Belgian or Turtle Helmet ? Nice Churchill reference pic too , how much extra track ?...all of it .

A blast from the past ....1/25 Academy Motorizzzzzed done as a present for a mate 10 odd years ago . Very er ...clean for me 🤐....mind you it is a rug runner . Struggle to understand why people ask silly money for these now. ...it's kinda ropey /.

Maybe they could have a BBQ ....some crew for the Jagdkitten will be coming shortly too.

A bunch of micro Hans , Kurts und Gunthers ... I'm not much of a figure person , and these are just taken to basic paint . They'll get another session of tidying up, slings, mud etc for fitting to the scenario when I decide what they are up to . For IM, figures the sculpting is not bad , and I like the relaxed poses . These are Tamiya 32602 , tooled in 2021 . Still not sure where this is going . As much as it screams FRANCE , the kitty is probably a bit too late for that with no Zim on it ....no JPs at Arnhem ....these guys look too warm for the Bulge ...and I have a nervous tic about "late 1945" stuff as it is the realm of "what if's " and paper panzer nonsense so beloved of WOT people . Zuider Zee maybe as there was a JP unit in that general direction .

End of Part 1 ...there most likely will be Part 2 later this week .

Eez going ok . Never built a 1/48 tank before ( apart from the lil Ba64 the other month for that dio) . 😃Last Jagdpanther I did was a 1/25 one . So far so good, I like using 30% less paint and glue ...more shelf space .....and although the cast metal hull is a bit of a gimmick, I personally like the weight . Detail is very Tamiya as is the great fit . L&L tracks were superb for fitting , Tamiya have really nailed this aspect IMHO . Fixed in one place suspension is the downside. Might do a little 1/48 dio......swearing will start with the figures no doubt.

Some of my walkaround pix I took at the Bovington - may be of interest Also - are those the kit tracks ? https://postimg.cc/gallery/zGxkt9P

That's the last time we trust you with the keys on a night out.... Hans ...

Bit of 1/4 scale madness courtesy of Tamiya Kurt is confused ... Very quick build , top attached with a screw Night Shifts favourite primer Doingthe hull halves seperately Link n Lenght tracks is why ...I like there apart from the pin marks .. Top basic paint and filter And the fun starts here ..... PW

Rotherham ...there's a theme there .

I wanted to do a 1/350 ship ...and for my sins I bought one .....served it to me up via UPS ...and when it was over ...I'd never want another .. To quote Willard... So my first attempt at a "proper" scale ship . Compared to the 1/72 Revell S Boat or the 1/144 Uboat I did last year this was so much more of a challenge. Thought I knew how to tackle this, but found myself going back over stuff I'd already done , picking up bits and re affixing ....did I mention I hate tiny PE ? This kit kicked my ass. We're friends here , so we'll deffo ignore the rigging , I had truly lost the will to live by then . Can't fault the kit itself it was well engineered I kinda get it , why people build these , although I reckon the skill set is something I need to develop, as a lot of how I do armour or aircraft didn't work so well at this scale . And now a return to regular programming . Link to RFI Laterz PW
