Litterally could not swing the cat .....poor old Fursnake has nowhere to sit

The 190 looks great though . 👍

No , just no . Family who love you need to sit you down 😀, it's outa hand dude .

Anybody heard from Peter recently ? Hoping he's still ok .

Lovely execution and great pictures. Gives a real sense of presence and heft .

It was fairly straightforward - I like Hobbyboss ( Trumpeter) . They are not cutting edge in terms of large numbers options or details , but generally build up easily enough - think Tamiya fit. The often do some more obscure models , I did a F84-F a while ago, that was ok , I have an M4 HST to build later this year. I tend to think of them as lower cost options for trying things out ....often paints or other effects. If I was keen for a Wildcat in the cabinet, I'd probably go Profi-pack Eduard or maybe the new Academy one which got a lot of good vibes this year, or possibly the Tamiya one - although that's old tooling now with no wing fold option . Cheers Rob I've upgraded my studio lights to be brighter and now controllable for warmth and dimming which is a big step up from earlier this year, far more options . Also gone back to using the DSLR rather than the iPhone , thanks for the advice , I do need to play around more with the manual camera settings an get a better feel for the focus. Macro wasn't cutting it , zoom robbed detail and up close and you get .....what you see above . 😆

Destructions are for beginners ! I've never built a resin model beyond the odd few figures and a rather monolithic German armoured car, this is v interesting . Also - I think your seat belts turn out well , my attempts at foil belts always look hokey. 🫤

Godzilla is still stuck under the Sheridan ..poor lil fella .... I bet he's wishing he was 1/6 scale now

Looking good john . They are big aircraft , I took this no so good pic at Hendon 10 years ago when they had an obsession with bad lighting and poor access . No wonder we shot them down in drove after they crossed the English Channel in 1940.

Plastic water bottle is pleasantly 'anachronistic'. That hairspray is buried deep...... I hope it still behaves for you or out with the sponge I guess.

Thank you Mike - my top tips if you're interested ...'less' is indeed 'more' ...and not putting anything square to the base adds a more dynamic 'conversation' .

Tiger of the 501st Schwere PzAbt , in La Gleize , on the evening of the bug out after days of surrounded , cut out from supplies and constant bombardment . Last minute arrangement for the withdrawal and destruction of the vehicles. Made this a few years back , still fond of it , not shown it here before, but as I took a bunch of new pics today thought I'd be cheeky. Tamiya King Tiger , Fruil Tracks and other metal embellishments , Krycell snow effects . Scratch made buildings ,scenary etc MiniArt and Tamiya figures. Cheers PW

Bought this for more NMF trials , this is all Mr Colour super metallics and oil paint rendering . Nice little kit from Hobby boss although there are better ones around in 1/48. I'm fond of the old Wildcat, and the 'yellow wing thing' , might do a few more going forward. No build log as just a trial , pretty much OOB apart from home made belts, scratched canopy so it would sit open . Also today , playing around with new better studio lights & backgrounds.

Cheers - I'm a day ahead of you I think .

Yay for the Fw190 GB !!! JG26 flavour !

A couple of years I think , one of those sprung up in Covid lockdown I suspect, when the hobby boomed for a bit . Jadlam made an empire over the same 2-3 years Not one I used before just came across them selling cheap paint ..and then realised why 🥺 @Bomber_County They are still open till 10 am - you've chance if you're quick . Last chance to order will be Monday 4th Nov 10am. Then the website will no longer accept any payments.

Who's !90 is that one ? Hasegawa ?

Yes Indeed Shambangalang . ....you noticed how Phil kept quiet about the flares ...?

Great precise build , very nice Kriss

Just bought a bunch of paint a low prices.

Grab some cheap bargains maybe if you are in the UK , today only - tommorrow is closed. https://scalemodelshed.co.uk/product-category/scale-model-kits/

Looking good .

Those mid 90's Tamiya KTs aren't to bad for my money, I've built a couple over the past few years , the basic shapes are pretty good even if the details are a bit simplified by todays standards. The tracks though ....yes agreed ... abysmal and often too short ....I bin them and use Fruils but then you are doubling your investment . Nostalgia builds are fun though , will you be wearing some flares for this build , whilst Bay City Rollers play in the background ?

Sure thats why ii thoughit thin plastic auto tape for that sort of work

Hair dryer works well, as as does W&N liquin for oil paints . Liquin also makes oil washes a lot finer .
