That's a few jars of Tamiya X-2 there!

Thankfully snakes aren't a problem here. See the odd Adder when I'm out in the hills with the dogs but nothing 'dangerous'. Looks like a great break Ernie.

I'd go option 2, the desert cammo, just for the contrast with the base.

Neat job on the surgery so far!

Thanks Martin. As Gaz says that looks suitably sinister and bad-ass in that colour scheme.

What the hell is that AWACS bird Martin? Obviously Russian but what's the basic airframe.

Absolutely stunning work once again. How you can shape these panels so accurately without damaging what's already there astounds me.

Have a great birthday Francisco

Everyone remembers Ouradour but they murdered 99 the day before in Tulle as well, hung from the lampposts. Worst part was very few ever stood trial for it and the sentences were generally a joke. Can heartily recommend Max Hasting's book about it as it gives the full context.

Looking forward to seeing how you tackle that delaminated plywood.

Have watched the first 2 episodes and very good. My first job after graduation in the late 80s was working for the UK Atomic Energy Authority and a lot of our time was spent trying to sort out the aftermath of this and just what the hell had actually happened. Even saw a few sheep being scanned in wholebody counters to see how much Cs-137 they'd ingested! Glad they haven't tried to 'sex this up' and have just let the true story reveal itself. Would recommend this to everyone.

Great job. It might be a goat of a kit but that's a superb result, especially the splinter cammo. Just wish someone would do one of these in 1/32... hint,hint

Gotta agree Jeff, some of the creepy stuff makes me feel like I need a wash and I'm no prude by any stretch. Then again, we are talking about a nation where you can buy used panties in a vending machine !?

Haha Phil, I remember that one

Yeah Gaz, and which of the usual suspects started that thread knowing exactly where it would go!

Love the shirt Harv. Unfortunately the weather in Scotland doesn't quite go with the Hawaiian shirt.

Ah but what do Aliens knit with? If robots dream of android sheep.......

That looks great under some primer Ernie, especially the custom scoop. Gotta agree on the Mr Levelling as well. I've even used it with Ammo acrylics with good results.

Stunning once again but some interesting insights into just how you manage this. Thanks

Big congrats Harv. They look very happy together. Love the hat by the way!

70s pubs in Scotland had lots of tartan carpet - bet ya can't airbrush that!

Thanks for the info Dan, I'll bear that in mind. My next planned build is some armour just to mix things up but I do love a SLUF so I may build another in the future.

Thanks Dan. The Olympus scheme sounds great. Where did you get the decals for that one?

Great result Gary and the Hind looks pretty cool too. Proof that no kit is 'unbuildable' and it certainly looks like a Liberator to my non-expert eyes. Weathering is nice and subtle.

Okay, do we just keep naming books at random until we find one you don't have?! That Kaveri one looks very cool though.
