Nicely done 2step, a tip for the portholes i drilled mine out as you did but filled them with Micro kristal klear, it gives a better look as the glass is actually full depth. all the best Chris

The saga continue with a further 2 builds - 1) Vengeance most fowl based on the AMT Stap and Battle Droid. Feathers McGraw and Norbot. This was a troublesome mating, the droid just would not flex enough to stand properly on the stap, resulting in the foot rests breaking off and a bit of creative modelling combined with 2 part epoxy solved in the end. 2} GROM-AT, based on the Bandai 1/44 AT-AT, a real pleasure to build, even the tiny tiny parts fitted once i used tweezers, fingers too big LOL all the best Chris

Cvrie, had a look, its poor quality FDM 3D printed, BNA modelworld have the Ozmods resin one in stock see link below https://www.bnamodelworld.com/model-ships-boats-ozmods-models-ozomkit3502-1:350-oberon-submarines-resin-kit all the best Chris

Cracking job Bapowell, very nicely done. For those interested the Mikromir kit depicts her as she is now, a museum ship. The side walls where the storage silos are were installed to stop visitors falling off the sides, see link https://navsource.org/archives/08/574/0857717.jpg all the best Chris

Mike if its a pdf file, in adobe when you select print there is a an option under pages to print, select more options, select this and it offers you current view, if you select this it will print the only the highlighted area of a drawing at full size. I use this a lot to print parts of larger plans. hope this helps, all the best Chris

Cracking job, very nicely weathered, well done Michael all the best Chris

Hi Chris, as Troy mentioned i am a submarine modeller, drop us a line with your queries and ill see if i can help. As others have mentioned i would practice on an easier kit first, such as Revells Type IX/C40 or Type VIIC/41 in 1/144, they are relatively cheap and easily picked up on ebay. All the best Chris

Bapowell, its a great build, it happens to us all, ive a few with the wrong scheme on them, its not worth stripping them but keep them as your interpretation. Its taken me years to build up a reference database for submarines. The USS Triton i built was by OKB Grigorov, he does both versions in 1/700 SSRN & SSN and he has just released a 1/350 one, price out of my budget at 130 euros ($140). All the best Chris

Nicely done Bapowell, great build, my only comment about her finish is she was never all over black, there is a poor colour film cell that appears all over black. Being one of the few that kept her original colour scheme throughout her career, being deck black with upper hull and sail dark sea grey and lower hull black.

Continuing the saga of Wallace and Gromit taking a wrong turn Via woodworm hole and ending up in a galaxy far far away. I give you the A Grand Day Out (star wars style). 1/241 scale Millennium Falcon Rocket, one for all the rivet counters LOL. Rivets painted with the tip of a cocktail stick in true Wallace and Gromit style. Model 110mm (4 1/2") tall. All the best Chris

Pete, am i supposed to be taking some pils, i do at weekends LOL Glad you like it, theres more in the works, if the white coats dont get me first.

Wallace and Gromit took a wrong turn on the way back from the moon, Via woodworm hole and ended up in a galaxy far far away. I give you the wrong trousers (star wars style). Have a giggle, all the best Chris

Nicely done, your weathering is spot on, from the photos i have of the full size mock up youve nailed it. All the best Chris

Nicely done, just the right amount of weathering, not OTT considering they rarely returned from their first sortie. All the best Chris

Happy New Year, heres my first completed build of 2025. Obsidian Fury from Pacific Rim Uprising. 1/350 by Bandai, joy to build, hand painted in enamels, no masking (id still be painting in 2026 if i did). Markings were stickers, tiny and absolute nightmare to apply and stay down, should have been waterslide decals. All the best Chris.
