Cheers Col.

A question for all you A/C modellers. I've noticed no one is building the Revel 1/32 boxing of a F-16. Bad kit or something else?

There's a un-coloured, plain plastic version. Quite a bit cheaper, well it was when I got mine.

Is this the F1 engine powered, race track car they were using for Promo work?

Those Tabs are pretty much the only problem with the kit. I wanted to finish mine, so made them a feature For the next one, I try something else

Wife may get upset if I attack her veg patch. Although the potato area may have a few craters from the raised bed artillery positions.

59, going on 12 signing in. just got to decide which area of the garden will be the battlefield

Quick question. Is Fantasy Armour allowed. as I have a selection of Warhammer ground vehicles? Cheers Paul

Great paint work. Looks suitably worn.

Would be rude no to enter. Paul

Nice work Tim, photos are great. I've been building up the Harkonnen version, which appears to be a porker, compared to this version. Also has 6 wings instead of 8. Looking forward to your next instalment

Love the Warhammer vehicles. Yes, they are quite expensive, but build really nice, and normally have plenty of options. At least the plastic ones do. I have a few of the resin kits, which I'm building up to actually making. Paint wise, its sci-fi, so up to you, and as I don't play the game weapon fits are what I think are nice, not what the rules allow.

Hi Guys I saw this a while ago, and ordered while working in Australia. Got home Thursday evening from Aus, and while catching up on 6 weeks of internet, noticed this GB. Aircraft are not really my thing, but I think this will fit the bill nicely. Now all I've got to do is build it😉 Box Art Box is 56cm x 24cm Opening the box Flight deck and hull securely packaged in clear plastic holder Hull comes in 2 parts, I think it allows for a waterline option, if building into a base. Flight deck is covered in detail Under the plastic holder for the hull Many unknown plastic parts, and many aircraft sprues Photo etch fret Small and hopefully simple Decal sheets Aircraft decals are tiny Sample of instructions Top of box is a nice 1:1 colour sheet of decal placements, including the aircraft. That's all for now, bit of a tidy up, and I'll make a start Paul

Thinking of starting another build. But not certain what. Choices are AiP Thunderbird 3, Bandai Star Wars Tie Interceptor, or Bandai B-wing.

Interesting project. I wonder if you could use as template for a plasti card version

Hi Guys. Work continues on the Landfortress. Roll cage sections have been sprayed Metal Color Dark Aluminium. Wheel hubs hand painted with Metal Color Dull Aluminium Colour combo for the main body. Citidel Colour, Corax White and Trollslayer Orange The outer layer of blocks are going to be another colour, but still deciding what. Need some inspiration, and advice welcome. Finally, my tray of bits I'm working on. Glass, ball turrets, etc. Another thing with Warhammer kits, as they are wargame based, there is normally masses of weapon options to choose, and a good selection of greebly bits left after construction. Well, work continues for today, as off to work tomorrow. Hoping to get to a nice point in the build, as will be gone for 5 weeks. Cheers for looking Paul

I use them straight from the bottle, I think they are meant to be used that way.

I use Vallejo Metal Color all the time. Good for brush work, and a fair range of options.

Watching with interest. I’ve got a few full internal tank kits, that I’ll probably never build, and a couple of panthers with both clear and solid hull uppers. mmm, getting ideas now

Will look impressive when built up. love the little buses

Can you spray Mr Metal Color? I’ve only really used them for dry brushing, and the few attempts brush painting have given a nice shine, but erratic texture/brush marks. Might be me applying incorrectly

Hi Guys. Well yesterdays paint was a mixed bag. The dusty white is OK, as a base for more work. But the Orange (Model Color German Orange) as seen on left, was nothing like what I was looking for. Luckily, a local shop sells Citadel Colour paints, so after a quick visit, I managed to get something more to my liking. So the right panel shows the Trollslayer Orange (wargamers and their strange names), which is alot brighter. So over painted the required panels, and as I type, heres the present look. I'll be carrying on today, so see you soon Paul

Just a Quicky. Primed in Citadal Colour Chaos Black. Wheels, Cockpit, and Roll cage segments, were a dry fit. Started working on Cockpit and paint, but I'll post up about that tomorrow, as not certain about my choices yet. So, it may be changed. Cheers for looking Paul

Just watch out with some of their kits. Some are full Resin, which can be a handful

Good Morning, First morning of a group build, so a bit like Xmas as a Kid. First job was getting the wheels built up. nothing to taxing to start with. Detail looks good on the hubs, the joint between the tyres gives a nice large contact patch for glueing together. As you can see, the joint for the wheels to attach to the axle, is chunky for a strong connection. These Kits are designed for war gaming, not static display cases. Next up was the chassis, Again, solid item and good detail. Body sides are Identical. There's a plate on the right of the picture (with the suspension unit) which needed a clamp across the bottom while the glue dried, but nothing to worry about. Although I filled the slight gap, you really don't need to. Then it's attached to the chassis base, with front and rear frames. Lid was added, as well as the doors. Forgot to photo the inside of the doors, as they are detailed nicely, but there's no internal detail as it comes OOB. The external metal frames were built up and fit well. The location points have hexagonal connectors, so a nice positive fit. I did snip off a small amount so the joins butt up nicely. Here's the shell made up so far There's 3 sections of external frame, all are a good fit, but I've left them off to paint. And allows better access for detail painting. That's the first 42 parts sorted. I'm always impressed by the Warhammer plastic kits. Fit is good, and detail crisply moulded. They are moulded in chunky plastic, but ruggedness is needed for there intended purpose. They can be expensive (£75 for this one), but there are some interesting subjects. Have a look at the Valkyrie I also have partly finished, as a example Anyway, better crack on. Primer will be out, and see what else I'll get done today Cheers for looking Paul
