Welcome Dan There are plenty of people here who will always help and give advice when needed, we're a friendly bunch 1/35 WW2 stuff isn't my area, but it's a very popular subject on here, enjoy your builds and show us some pictures when you start progressing through your stash Ian

Not a lot happening here at the moment due to other commitments and work, but nibbling away when I get chance getting bits ready for adding when the time is right like the discs and airbox. Also starting to get the main tub assembled so I can get the blue and decals added and start building from the ground up. Lots and lots of small items in various stages of paint now the chrome has been stripped, it seems like painting the forth bridge 🤣

The Umpteenth HMS Hood on Britmodeller, My First.
Redstaff replied to mark.au's topic in Work in Progress - Maritime
Looking good so far I'm liking your methodical way of working, I've got a Tamiya 1/350 Prince of Wales and associated bits ready to build as a first ship model So I'm going to follow your progress as a ship novice as it's going to be a big learning exercise for me as well as I usually build things with a wheel in each corner and in bigger scales Ian- 43 replies

Great stuff, hopefully they will re-release the rally version as well at some point Ian -
My dad's was a grey colour, like primer

I got it from MJR hobbies, he had 2 or 3 of each of the range, but I think they've all gone at that price by now. Jadlam have them all in stock at the minute at £25 each as well which I noticed after I got mine, but might be P&P on top of that? Ian -

I agree, I've built the long wheelbase flatbed and always fancied the look of the tanker and at that price it was a no brainer 😀 -

Had a fairly productive weekend, even though there isn't a lot to show for it. Did some gloss black painting for the airbox and on the engine / gearbox ready for the metallics. Also methodically going through and stripping the tacky chrome plating off a lot of the smaller parts, I know Tyrrells of this era had chrome plated parts, but this Tamiya plating on the smaller parts is awful and toy like, might leave some parts like the long side pipes and roll cage plated, but haven't got that far advanced now. So for the next week or so it's going to be strip, prime, paint and repeat Need to be methodical and do in small batches and organise so I don't mix them up as a lot of parts are very similar looking Ian

Not much bench time this week due to being busy at work, but managed to lay some bits out in primer tonight. Funny how much better everything looks when it's the same colour 😀 Ian

Hi Rob Glad you got to the end of it without binning it, I was tempted a few times to launch mine out of the window I know what you mean about size though, I put mine in the cabinet next to a Matchbox MG I made last year and the GT looks small even compared to that The car with mods looks really nice, but I don't think I could go through the emotions of building another one of these 😅 Ian

I ordered from Spotmodel a couple of weeks before Christmas and my stuff arrived a week later which surprised me 😲 I guess it's just a lottery when foreign post services and the Royal mail join forces 😅 Ian -
Tamiya 1/24 Peugeot 206 WRC 2002 "Winner Version"
Redstaff replied to Scargsy's topic in Give Peace A Chance GB
Nice choice Great little kit that goes together really well, I did the white WRC version with the blue Lion decals a couple of years ago Ian -
Heller 80722 Bentley 4.5l "blower" 1/24
Redstaff replied to tangerine_sedge's topic in Give Peace A Chance GB
I'll follow your progress on this one, I'm going to build the same kit in the Classic Heller GB once I've built the Tyrrell here 😀 Ian
