I think you got your moneys worth there

We'll need a flag perhaps . ... or will you be stood under the Sunderland lol !

Always felt they were a bit of a "late to the party" mosquito ! Looked a lot of fun to fly in that config No bay of pigs versions then ?

Fun fact , apparently the layout of Humber Scout Car was the base vehicle used when developing the Alvis Ferret , even though the Dingo was a Daimler (Alvis) product.

Getting there , don't fret over the water , it's just freshly applied medium , it'll settle down . Got a couple of fellas to add in , maybe some bushes ? Next up -hopefully glamour shots -but between work , moving and family stuff I'm struggling to find time this month .

eeza lookin great there , such a nostalgic build .

Second that , a 1/32 Battle would be 20" wingspan ...a lot of shelf space for a minor league aircraft. Probably take longer to build than its combat service. 1/48...I'd possibly give it space Saw the one at Hendon , didn't really perk my excitement I must say.

@npb748r @Bomber_County Any of you guys or anybody else fancy that for an unofficial LSM meet up ? I'm due a visit there this year .....and frankly the Mossies are really drop dead gorgeous !

I need something better too !

Thanks peeps

I agree - it adds considerably to any build time. Average tank to me is 4-6 days work, average diorama is upwards of 10-30 , esp if I start adding buildings or water. This has been a bit easier as it's only 8 inches square. Did two large involved ones last year , both were about a months work or so .

Indeed , now its sadly squished into a corner of the airfield Yes I know

Agreed , very similar the two companies . I did the Miniart Dingo, a great model but very small for the part count .

Base got hit with static grass , flocks and scatter . Now for the resin , first a cover / seal coat , dried 24 hours , then the main pour. Right leave all that to cure for 24 hours and then can move on . Happy how this went .

Made a rough bridge using I section styrene

After all that dried it was dry brushed with grays and buff for the rock faces . Looks odd at first but you just have io keep on .The colours were added to until I got to a point where I was happy.

Ok so why bring this up now , this is old news right ? So having had a bit of a mare with the last resin work I wanted to get straight back on the horse and see if I could do better So , some nicer Styrofoam the white not grey . Much easier to work Lining the bed with AL foil . This maybe overkill , but resin leaching into the foam even after sealing with PVA is a major source of bubbles irritations that you can't stop once you've poured. I follow a few "Maker" channels on Youtube, a lot of whom do fantasy stuff ....I'm happy to learn where ever. So tried this trick , cast plaster of Paris into rolled up foil tray to get a rock surface .....genius if an old trick ! Eh .....whatcha think ? Hot melted in place Blended using Sculptamold which I've used for a while , basically wood pulp and plaster mix. Railway people use it a lot . Then all painted in a PVA/Black paint mix to seal it all up and black base it . Left for 48 hours to harden up .

A couple a years ago I built Bronco's rather nice Humber Scout Car . I like Bronco , the complexity is nice but not overwhelming , the seem to like doing odd British subjects no one else goes near , and the moulding are good . I did their Comet around the same time , before Tamiya brought theirs out last year. As with a lot of my 1/35 , if it's a keeper ( normally for a couple of years or so ) they don't get a diorama as I deliberately restrict my display space to stop over proliferation . A lot of what I build esp German stuff goes up for sale quite quite, as I like building rather than collecting . I figure if I miss it I can build it again but probably better. Anyhow .. The Scout car as it was . See - nice mouldings , even the rubber tyres .

In it's heyday
