  1. Double snap but mine was my prized 70/80s Star Wars toy collection…have never recovered
  2. So I have gone on holiday and for the first time in 3 years we have gone abroad to lovely Portugal. Whilst I am loving the sun, sea, sand etc I realise that one massive bonus of holidaying in the Uk for the last 3 years has been the ability to take some modelling with me. I reckon I have done 50% of my years modelling whilst on hols over the last 3 years. Anyway I don’t have any models with me and a quick Google didn’t find any shops nearby so I am spending more time than I should on certain model shop sites and Britmoddler 😀. I have also realised I have a couple of unlisted photos. This is where I have got to. I will hopefully get to thE decals very shortly on my return. Cheers for looking. D
  3. Cheers Thank you. Looks ok but must get better with the airbrush.
  4. Looking good Enzo. As MM said any tips very welcome. I have one of these waiting to be built 😀
  5. Looking good. I have one of these I may build as well. Where did you get the pilot? D
  6. So some progress made. Purchased the relevant Hakata Red series paints for modern German Luftwaffe. Sprayed the first colour: Went on pretty well over a bit of pre shading. Full admission here i am not good with airbrushes. Tried a few options to mask the camo but to be quite honest I got stuck. Nothing really worked. Tried blue tack, paper masks, cutting tape....it all was a bit off. So reverted to brush painting the camo! Not proud. As always looks better in the flesh. Cheers for looking. Dave
  7. According to Scalemates this is their own work originally from the mid 90s. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-03904-lockheed-martin-f-104g-starfighter--1162145#
  8. A mossie has always been a favourite and this looks like a lovely build. Top work.
  9. So despite the lack of posts (I keep telling myself stop building and post) I have made quite a bit of progress. It is a vey nice kit and everything fits together as it should. Vallejo aluminium and Citadel Nuln Oil wash for the undercarriage. Really recommend the wash especially if you dilute it and apply the second layer in a localised manner. To my mind she is looking very nice. Cheers Dave
  10. Cheers Dansk. Got to love those greens. Now the only issue is to find some matches in my stash.
  11. I have had a very bad record this year for GBs...I blame work...or any one of the million other things it seems I am meant to be doing at any one time other than modelling. Anyway I appreciate that I am late to the party but please may I join this this one: Picked up from Jadlam expressly for this GB. I mention this because when the package arrived it didn't have a kit in it just a tube of Revell Contacta glue. An obviously picking error. A quick email to the nice people at Jadlam and the kit arrived a few days later. I even got the keep the glue. Excellent customer service. I choose this kit because of (a) I like the German schemes, (b) it is a relatively modern kit and will hopefully go together fairly easily and (c) low parts count means I may get it finished!!! Schemes in the kit: And the sprues. Will be building OOB for mojo reasons. Cheers Dave
  12. Paul amazing work. I love all the little details. My great uncle was General Sir John Hackett who had a little run in at Arnhem and told me some of his stories when I was a kid. Your dio brought a lot of these back. Thank you. Dave
  13. Great work Eva. Lovely finish. Welcome to BM.
  14. I have no idea what I will build but count me in.
