Been wanting to build a 8th Airforce airfield scene for awhile now so the #HeaviesGB is the perfect excuse.

#histscalemodels

Skipping from one thing to the next at the moment. Started to work on the base for a bit of a change.
None of the models are finished yet but wanted to try mock it all up and see what it looks like.

Taking a break from the Dingo so I can finish the figures I'll need for the Grant/Dingo dio.
Trying to decide if the 3 riders look better on the back of the Grant or if I should have 1 guy beside the turret. Photos of both options. Any opinions gratefully accepted!

Thanks 😊 They actually don't look to bad when I'm not staring at them though a magnifying glass.

Thanks Paul 😊

Thanks 😊

Small update on the Dingo and figures. Gloss coat is on so decals are done and washes going on next. About half way through with the figures. Really just an excuse to try my wife's 3d printed light box haha.

Painting in the details on the Dingo. As I thought, I did regret not painting the interior before closing it up. It has become a lesson in patience.
Still plenty to do over the weekend.
#histscalemodels

Only 7 more to go!
At my current speed it's going to take a month of Sunday's to finish them all 😀
Still need to sort of the bakelite mic for this bloke but plenty to do before then.
#histscalemodels

Thanks Matthew. I hadn't seen this one's before so they'll be very helpful 🙂

Adding some (currently headless) figures to the Grant. 2 more to go then I can start on painting all 8 if them. Still working with the pigments for that final dusty look.
#histscalemodels

Latest couple of models in various states. Trying to freehand the Camo on the Grant at the moment. Still a long way to go.
The Dingo got annoying so I finished it without painting the interior and now I'm thinking I'm going to regret that decision 😂

So close to calling the Achilles done. Not sure why this is taking me so long. Started and finished the Martlet and am still working on the Achilles and the base.
#histscalemodels #scalemodels

Thanks Paul 🙂

Further work on the Achilles and base. Trying to work through how it will all go together in the end. Good ol rubber tracks have seperated so got to deal with that now.
Also got the Tamiya Martlet primed and somewhat ready for the top camo pattern and then the invasion strips.
#histscalemodels

More work done on the Achilles. Just trying to figure out what to do with this destroyed house I've got and seeing if I can incorporate it into a diorama. #histscalemodels

Current WIP - Tamiya M10 IIC Achilles - Fresh from the spray booth. Still plenty of work to do but so far so good. #histscalemodels

Couple of models I've finished recently. Haven't been able to get hold of any figures for the Mossie yet. #scalemodels #histscalemodels

First round of 'Will they destroy the tree today!?' starts today #dogsofbluesky #christmastree

Quick trip to the beach to cool down the doggos #dogsofbluesky

Trying to work from home but keep having to pay the belly rub tax #dogsofbluesky

Current WIP. Trying to decide if I want all of the infantry involved or not. #histscalemodels
