Good work with the tarps they look...right! May I inquire what kit they're from? I'd throw a couple more jerry cans somewhere if I had them. Tom

It's got it's good points. And there all razor sharp! Tom

Smashing work. I always weigh up whether to use PE. But I'm getting more adventurous! Good job the guards haven't upgraded to gatling guns and auto grenade launchers! Tom

I'm definitely feeling the need for a big lotto win! Oh, to have the finance, the space and the time! (should put skill in there as well)! Tom

I use a small sewing needle pushed, pointy end, into a bit of pencil eraser with the eye chopped off halfway down (like a pitchfork). Tom

Getting major surgery to increase bench time seems a bit...Drastic! I might have to look in to this. Tom

Harrogate mdls 67 Leeds rd hg2 8be & starbeck mdls 16 devonshire pl hg1 4aa Must admit to never using either. Searching for local shops to me a while ago. Enjoy Yorkshire Tom

There's a couple of model shops in Harrogate if your interested. Tom

Here's a build log: (not mine) Riich are up there with MiniArt and Gecko for complication! I've built the mortar version and all I can say is test fit extensively! I had an alignment issue and couldn't for the life of me figure out why. They build into a lovely kit, and, until completed, I never knew how overscale the Tamiya kit was (so I don't think the aftermaket stowage sets for Tamiya's kit would fit if you feel tempted) Tom

It's not an oncoming train. Its a big mirror some jokers blocked the tunnel with! Love the tyres. I usually use a bit of rag when drybrushing, And b***ger what they say. I like the effect it gives. Tom

Could you squash the net down a bit? It looks too much like a rolled up fence to me. Tom

Nah, They'll just hit you with a bigger missile! Tom

If the kit has individual or link and length tracks I assemble and paint the lower hull. Paint and fix wheels make the track (with sag where appropriate) paint and fix. Then mask all the track and wheels with 'boxes' made from paper before continuing up the vehicle. Armoured cars and trucks definitely have their wheels fixed after major painting. Tom

Girls (and pubs) didn't do anything for my early modelling experiences either! Tom

So you should Jeff - A Norwegian Wood! Might as well get all the Beatles comments out of the way now gentlefolk. Tom

If you look closely (not for more than 3 seconds at a time and with suitable eye protection) at Jon's avatar pic you can just see the tube from the IV feeding apparatus. Tom

Jon, The 'no idea how' bit. Cut it off and drill out the top to substitute some rod? tom

Can I add 1/350 WW2 merchants to my list? A Fort class maybe a tanker. Tom

Jon, Don't know if this sight could help you. https://www.libramar.net/news/anatomy_of_the_ship_series/1-0-43 Tom

Steve, Trumpeter have several (3 or 4 all based on the 5 turret version) Dido class cruisers somewhere in the pipeline. Tom

Looks good. A bit too much beam maybe Web says 16m length, 5m beam (45.7 x 14.3 mm in '350) http://freeshipplans.com/free-model-ship-plans/tugboat-plans/saturn-steam-tug/ Tom

If your saying 'paper' I'll respond with 'scissors' I win! Tell All! Tom

Your going to need a bigger box! I adapted an old plastic tool box to hold about 35 Vallejo paint bottles. I now have three such boxes! Tom

Truth be told I'd be more than happy with a 'K' Can I add some of the DKM torpedo boats and minesweepers to my list. Tom

Any RN WW2 cruisers (Leander and Colony classes first) DKM Lutzow or Deutchland and a DKM Leipzig class cruiser all mid war, 1/350 and in plastic please! Tom
