Thanks, they certainly are a different breed.

My first car build, Tamiya's Porsche GT. It turned out trickier than I thought as the chassis might have warped (or my cludgy building) so the top didn't quite fit how I expected it to. Decals were easier than I thought they'd be though. Overall I'm happy with it.

They're easier to work with than panel liners and other washes. I'd never been happy with results previously, but 1st time with oils and it worked out exactly how I wanted.

This is Bandai's A-wing. I really like these kits, loads of detail, they fall together and any extra details can be added if you like. I used oils on this one, and I now regret not using them sooner!

Thank you 👍Makes me want to make more of them.

Thank you 👍

Thank you👍

I finally finished the Liberator, made up as "First Sergeant", an assembly ship. I know it's not the right version but it's what I wanted to do. The spots were made with hole punched masking sheets as I found online that the sizes matched for the scale.

Since Die Hard is a Christmas film, a brief thread on my own head canon of how the Gruber brothers disparate bios are tied up in postwar German history.

Started it this evening. OMG, it's beautiful.

That's just mean!

In the car and my wife put Magic on, 1st song they played! Went out again later, Magic still on, same song again 😂 twice in one day, by the same station 🤣

Got a new addition to the study, now I won't lose track of time so much when at the bench. Bonus inclusion of the bomb shelter in my garden.

Thanks, that's very kind. It's a nice kit to build.

I'll give this a read, thanks.

Thanks! It's been very good. I think the fit on the nose will be my own fault with lining up the interior parts badly. The D-Day story sounds interesting.

Thank you, all ready to hide it away forever 😂

Thanks, it'll be tricky to see once it's all closed up.

Thank you, it's all about to disappear forever though 😂

Thank you, I looked at a lot of pics and went with versions I liked. Once I close it up it'll be invisible, never to be seen again so any historical inaccuracies won't matter 😂

Thank you 👍 it's a nice kit, details up well.

I've made a start on the new Airfix B-24. It's a solid build so far, but I think I'll have a little bit of fettling to do to line up the nose section with no gaps.

Thanks, I'm a sucker for a challenge.

Double posting here and the other place for a while, sorry if you see it twice. Finished my first tank build, Takom's Chieftain in the Berlin Brigade scheme. At 1/72 it's really small, but I had fun doing it, any future AFV builds will be in a bigger scale though.

Started building something new today, just a few more boxes left to go now.

That's a great deal for a great airbrush.

Here's the most red I've used for a build. Both fun builds and look different next to the usual greys.
