Spookytooth Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Modelers burn out, I think that a lot of us suffer with that at some time. But nice to see that you have been busy sorting out some new builds. I also see that the Whippet has been on the vino.... Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, okay Kris, actually just messing around with the Takom model at the moment, not really a serious build yet. The fit is great although I question the necessity of some of the PE calls here. I'll post some more pic's of progress if you are interested, cheers Julian 22 minutes ago, Spookytooth said: Modelers burn out, I think that a lot of us suffer with that at some time.

Thinking of doing a small dio of a burned out tank crewman explaining that the battlefield isn't fun, that brings in the Champagne and Cognac bottles in a crate. The problem of choosing which direction to go is mainly time and choice and also being spoiled rotten on choice The "Slug" is rather interesting though, plenty of innards to work on, can you believe they squeezed between 17 and 28 crewmen into these things? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin56 Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 He fooled everyone with "Rasta Chant", most h*r*y" text ever IMHO. That one did make the charts because not many could make out what he was singing. If you can get hold of it enjoy, otherwise drop me a PM. Bought loads of his albums om tape when I was in dock in Malta during a rather wild and adventurous youth before I became a serious and well behaved citizen A genuinely funny guy who made long ocean voyages more enjoyable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really a secret but more a need to try something different. The WW I stuff is magic though, ordered the 1/16th Takom Renault FT-17 today. That would cover all the interesting WW I tanks (the Saint Charmond is a French monstrosity I don't want to build ).

Comparing BritModeller to Never Never Land Simon? The model building equivalent of Absolem, the blue caterpillar?

Gremlin56 Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 21/5 update. More messing with the Whippet. Thinking of a small dio and have a rather dramatic version with someone who has had enough of the horror of war and is getting up courage to end it all or a slightly less dramatic version with a crewman getting absolutely smashed on "liberated booze": Not sure which way this will go ................................... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I think I would go for the second version as it looks as though his CO is given him Defaulters for being drunk on the job Would not want him driving the Whippet after that crate of booze has been demolished. beefy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshanks Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Doh! Just realised that's the same 'Stalingrad' figure I used on the MkV. Cracking sculpting, the body language is amazing.

Jammy devil, whereabouts did you terrorize the locals? 11 days of Spanish food and wine sounds like heaven I really liked your "Stalingrad figure" and as you say the body language had great potential IMHO. 16 hours ago, Kris B said: For me it looks like he just getting a message that only their tank returned from the mission.
