I used dry pigments applied with a brush, cut some masking tape for the area cleared by the wipers

It is warped but not so bad that a bit of strong persuasion and clamping could overcome. Saying that it’s not finished yet 🤞🤞

@histscalemodels the Border Sherman is coming on nicely today,pleasantly surprised by how well the tracks have gone together, especially after a rough time with their Crusader

Never been the same since the Saxons came over here, taking over our land

I have been impressed with this chrome pen from AK, great for mirrors and lamps. The stowage lid on my paint mule doesn’t do it justice

It’s a nice build so enjoy

And here’s a real one, from we have ways festival last year

Nice build , it’s amazing how the same kit built by different people can come out so different

#histscalemodels. Nice work

Turned out well

There’s a lot of love for the subject, it’s just infuriating that they cut corners on the last 10% . Their vehicles definitely come 2nd to their recent aircraft

Slippery slope, you order one and then you go I might as well go all in. Took a lot of restraint not to get the crane and tyres 🤣🤣

After market gives this, good luck with the scratch build

If you are uk based look for inside the armour, they do a range of printed upgrades to show what I mean

What really got me started was the exhaust grill as a clear part, followed by the front brush guards being solid. But when you get going lots of small things, cabin tiller controls, grill on the roof wrong size. Then just more detailed bits like wipers. Water jets, hatches etc

I tried this same time ago. Seafroth dipped into pva then dusted in flock

The kit frustrated me so much with dodgy details I spent as much as the kit on aftermarket

Thanks

Thanks

thanks

And finishing off with,this. So 9 kits completed this year with a couple still in progress. Stash looks like it will be good for a few years at this rate

also

#histscalemodels ok lets do a review of this years builds

my contribution to the #festivefankchallenge2025 #histscalemodels
first go at a 1/48 vehicle, nice little build, might have to get some more for when you need a nice pallet cleanser

6d6 if memory serves, it was always about the rules, created a generation of lawyers

Done their crusader so I have an idea what I’m getting in to. This Tamiya one will be a nice pallet cleanser before I go in

thought it was start of December, oh well I have a Border 1;35 Sherman in the stash , it may take some time to actually finish though

#festivefankchallenge2025 #histscalemodels bit late starting but here we go

Short view of history, turkeys aren’t native to Europe and didn’t become popular until the 20th century

Interesting, there’s quite a bit of aftermarket on there so I had to do some mods.
