Many of you may remember this model in the 90s. I do and I built it back them in my late teens Both of the kits the white one and this one. back in those days I built models for something to do on a Saturday, now its a lot different I do them to escape from the world. anyway I had chance of building this kit again getting it from eBay it was original still sealed (who leave a kit that long without opening it!!) Any way started to build it again in Nov and got the back drive chain done and all the kit under coated and some bits sprayed with a white rattler then in this weeks sessions I have managed to get things a bit more together. I am finding it fun especially as things are such a good fit today I got the steering column on ready to fit the driver and co-driver. roll cage and wheels are now painted and I will be spraying the shell soon to. I am wondering if to add ht leads and braided pipes to the engine what are your thoughts? hopefully keep you up to date as I progress

Love it

this is a great one!!!!! the ice looks really true

I will be honest I made it up as I went along

hi All here is my first attempt at a diorama, I did this in memory of my grandad who was in 653 Squadron during WWII he was a tech sergeant or mechanic as it was then. it has taken 18 months in total due to circumstances I had originally bought the kit back in July 2021 to build as a present for my dad in honour of his dad for Christmas of that year, but my Dad died 3 weeks after I bought it, so I found it an emotional ride and also a frustrating process as I found yet again the Airfix fit very poor, but hay ho we can only do what we can do. thought I would put it here to share the memory. should say I used the Tamiya rally crew as the figures I really struggled to get any figures that looked right.

amazing build I love it but I have always been a sucker for Star Wars

so I thought it time to have a go at this one I have had in storage for a while yes Sir it is from the 80's but now I haven't had it since then, I built it as a kid I got it from John menzie and if I remember right it wasn't the best of fits. I bought this one over 5 years ago from eBay and it came with a diorama. any way it was still bagged up as well (sorry no pic of that) so here it is ready to go this was when I remembered a little about it. the mouldings are not up to modern standards so first job was to clean up the top and bottom of the ship CARFULLY in places then start to construct it and that's as far as I have got so far, I will keep you upto date as far as possible, any tips gratefully received I am prob going to airbrush it and that will be the first one in 5 years , am I mad

This is great something for me to aspire to

just got the guns from Shape ways and they are amazing thanks for the help

Thanks for all the help they are just what I am looking for

Hi I am not sure if this has been discussed here before, but I am after hand held weapons at 1/24 scale for my revel hugie helicopter I hAve figures from the tamiya rally crew kit but spanners would not really hurt Charlie. If any one could point me in the right direction to get some M16 or browning that would be great.
