crumper Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 A Happy New Year to you all. Came back to modelling last year after a 40 year break. Amazed by the kits, paints, weathering products etc available today. I played with some of the new paints and weathering on my first few kits, Tamiya kubelwagen, schwimmwagen, and Wespe and was quite pleased with the results, considering how long it was since a built or painted anything. Then it all went horribly wrong and I started producing stuff like this (Tamiya Simca, 2 Italieri Sahrianas and Hobby Boss Skoda Turtle :- I suspect this sort of model building isn't to everyones taste but it keeps me happy and off the streets which is generally a good thing. Looking forward to picking up some tips on how to improve my modelling skills. Currently working on a horse-drawn Humvee. Cheers folks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep an eye out for that Humvee,it's probably cheaper to keep a horse than it is to run it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushmepullyou Dalek was exactly what I thought when I first saw the kit I made it from, although I prefer to think of iit as EXTRAPOLATE 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the top photo; it looks like a vehicle that escaped George Miller's fleet from the last "Mad Max" movie! If you have a question, problem, or, just want to post a comment; don't hesitate to do so. You will have a lot of fun here. Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
