  1. I use boards similar to this https://www.jewson.co.uk/p/recticel-insulation-eurowall-cavity-board-1200-x-450-x-50mm-IREWC050 Easily cut to smaller size with a saw, then make to whatever thickness, shape you like, I coat with with some pva adhesive to seal it. I leave the foil on as it is on the underside.
  2. Never had any problem with Revell, unlike Humbrol which seems to always clog airbrush, last very well as others have said, just wish they would update the range of colours. I use 1:1 with a 75% water 25% flow enhancer premix.
  3. Stunner, like the weathering and the photos.
  4. Yeah, Photoshop, never tried doing a diorama, on my to do list for next year.
  5. Trumpter USMC LAV-25 Piranha Really just out of the box Trumpter Piranha based in 1991 desert colours.
  6. Thanks guys, Yes, see what you mean Joachim, will make some alterations. Cheers Gordon
  7. Airfix Hawker Hurricane Mk1 1/24 A50167 First attempt at a larger scale kit, it went together not too badly especially after purchasing it and reading it was so old. It has had its first prang already as I have managed to knock the tailwheel off when taking the photos. I will also need to remember and take photos of the cockpit during the build as I cannot get the camera close enough now it is built. All build straight out of the box.
  8. Subtly weathered, some nice additional touches in there.
  9. Thanks again Lee, yes the LRDG has the 7 figures also bought an North African Tower from Fields of Glory Models so will need to try an do my first diorama.
  10. Thanks Badder and Lee for comments on figures, by coincidence I have just purchased a Vallejo set of paints and a wash, I will be doing the Tamiya LRDG shortly which has a number of figures so, hopefully, I can get them a bit better. I do like the figures, as it gives a sense of scale, might be better with dogs or chickens where the face is not so important.
  11. Camel looks in good health, the BMP-1 not quite so, they go well together.
  12. Impressive especially when you see the 1p piece beside it.
  13. Tamiya Krupp Protze with 3.7cm Pak 1/35 35259 Picked up cheap on the internet, an old kit I know, but passes my time in this terrible winter weather. I wish I could get the faces better as I feel they let the model down, however I do like them in, as it gives a better sense of scale. Any comments to help me improve will be welcomed.
