Brilliant build and finish and setting. This is one of the best model scenes I have ever seen. Like the others I thought some were real. Truly brilliant. 🏆 -

A great final piece, considering it started on the shelf of doom. Well done for persevering. 🫡 -
Airfix 2024 Club Kit 1/72 Spitfire PR.XIX
neilspen replied to beany's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
That is a very effective way to display. I did a double take on the first pic. It looks good in that setting. -
I love the finish on this, particularly on the blue. Fabulous skills. 🏆

I got this already built and poorly painted as part of a job lot of 1/25th figures off of Ebay. I needed some donors for a Landrover crew, but thought I would try to resurrect this figure. It is not a bad figure and the finish is ok, but I need more practice on these larger scale faces. Thanks for looking

Dragon 1/35 WWII British/Commonwealth infantry
neilspen replied to Andy H's topic in Figure Ready for Inspection
These are super. You have done a great job. Illustrates how adding a sling and the rest oob elevates the realism, that and your lovely paintwork. Very effective.🏆 -
Interesting subject, not sure the suit would provide much protection in the vacuum of space.

Following an internet search for some 1/24 or 1/25th scale British military equipment, I came across Kit Form Services who offer a range of 1/24th scale civilian and British Military vehicles, accessories and figures. I purchased the pair of 1950s Royal Military Police figures and 2 individual REME figures. They are cast in a beige coloured resin and went together reasonably well. Looking at the pictures, I could have done a better job of removing the casting seams. The MPs came with some decals, the rank stripes I think are a bit on the small side. My two criticisms are that the MPs are twins and the REME mechanic in overalls had a beret more at home on a Soviet para, so I reworked that. They are not too bad and I am pleased with my effort, but can do with more practice at this scale. Thanks for looking. P

Hi Uapa, Tamiya did a few many years ago, and their out of production Centurion came with a crew and 3 infantry figures. I had a few odds and ends from this and purchased some from Ebay, specifically to remodel to this vehicle crew. Kit Form Services do a few British military figures and accessories, for this build I used the KFS accessories. The license should be bigger, the kits decals have an error, in that the rear number plate is on a yellow background, which is incorrect for service vehicles and would have spoilt the look, so I used some spare decals from the stash, which I agree look too small, I may have to revisit somehow. Hi PotW, high praise. I went with the kit details, but if I do another one will bare your info about the filler cap in mind. Thanks Stef for your kind comments. hi John, thankyou for your kind comments. I am pleased with the end result. Hi Andy, thank you very much. It is always a worry in a bigger scale, that one does it justice. Thanks for the kind comment Homer.

1/35 AK IDF Power Wagon WM300 Cargo Truck w/Winch
neilspen replied to Pete Field's topic in Ready for Inspection - Armour
This is the first one of these I have seen. You have done a lovely job, I particularly like the finish. -
It looks fab. The weathering is very subtle, very nice. It always makes me smile when one sees a camouflaged vehicle and then it has a bright red and white name across the back, so typically British. The figure sets it off really well. 👍

Tamiya 1/35 Krupp, converted to Quad AA (what if)
neilspen replied to robw_uk's topic in Ready for Inspection - Armour
Great to see something different. The whitewash is well done. -
A larger scale Italeri Kit. It was quite detailed, but I added some cables to the radio fit. I drilled out the backplane to look more realistic. I added some clips to the bonnet and the antenna boxes. The crew figures are reworked Tamiya figures. The radio op is the Tamiya Centurion Tank driver, the driver and gunner figures are reworked Tamiya US figures, which was my first go at sculpting berets and adding in pockets onto the jackets. I am pleased with how it turned out. Thanks for looking.

Revell (Matchbox) Humber Mk II armoured car

Lovely work, they do offer good entertainment for the money as well as very nostalgic. -
Great tip, thanks, I will be popping down my local Smiths tomorrow and pick up one or maybe two.

Really well finished. You have captured the weathering really well. I have a pair in the stash, which looking at your superb build makes me want to start one. Great work.
