Just got back from 4 weeks in Japan with the GF (our long-delayed trip that was supposed to happen in 2020). We spent about 45 minutes in Akihabara - I dashed into the Yellow Submarine shop to get some Gaia Notes paint that I can't get down here in Oz (and in hind-sight, should have bought a lot more of them) and picked up a cool Godzilla figure kit from the small shop on the 4th or 5th floor that sells stuff movie-related items such as Godzilla / Ultraman / Evangelion robots. Andy - still haven't forgotten your list of hobby shops, but I think CV19 put a stop to a lot of the smaller family-run places. The one in Kofu (Royal Model) closed down after the owner's wife died and Yodobashi moved into town. Cheers, V

That's a very clever solution to a problem we all have. Nicely done. I have a pair of those Detolf glass cabinets and they're holding up pretty well. I do need to add more shelves at some stage, but that's a battle for later...

Very well done, indeed! -
Old-skool 1/48th Monogram B-17G
Camo Viking replied to tomprobert's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Splendid result from an old kit. I built one of these back in the 70s, although it got painted a shiny aluminium instead of OD. I remember the Shep Payne leaflet, too. Sadly both kit and leaflet are long lost to the dusts of history... -
Yep, what Andy said. That be the one.

1/12 Tamiya: Suzuki RGV 500 - 2001, Sete Gibernau
Camo Viking replied to slippers's topic in Ready For Inspection - Vehicles
It did look good, for sure. No other memorabilia kicking around, aside from my own bike & gear. Not certain where the screen is now, sadly. -
Russian Medium Tank T-54 B "The End"
Camo Viking replied to THEscaleSHOW's topic in Ready for Inspection - Armour
That's a work of art. -
There used to be an airshow in NZ called 'Warbirds over Wanaka' (or something similar), no idea about when it's scheduled - or if it's even running anytime soon. Can't speak for Avalon, but I've heard it's a pretty big event. Seems to be every two years (well, pre-CV19, anyway), but again, no idea if/when it will be back. I will point out that Oz is big. Perth to Sydney is a 4 hour flight, and NZ is a further 4 hours again.

1/12 Tamiya: Suzuki RGV 500 - 2001, Sete Gibernau
Camo Viking replied to slippers's topic in Ready For Inspection - Vehicles
Fantastic work. The painting & detailing is excellent. FWIW, we used to have a windscreen from Sete's bike hanging on the lounge-room wall. (Donated by the pit-crew to my partner at the time, who was part of the medical team for the Oz GP that year. It was autographed by Sete, too.) -

Very sweet work! -
Amazing work! Well done, indeed.

Space:1999 Style Alien Spaceship
Camo Viking replied to saturnapollo's topic in Ready for Inspection - SF & RealSpace
Space:1999? I was thinking 'Discovery' from 2001 and either a Viper from Battlestar Galactica or the Liberator from Blake's 7. -
Excellent work!! As someone else noticed - the chain tensioner adjuster lock-nuts are in the wrong spot, and aside from the over-sized screw heads here and there you'd be hard pushed to realise it was a kit.

As everyone else has said, that's a stunning piece of work.

Airfix 1/48 Lightning 'Going Vertical'
Camo Viking replied to The west wing's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
What everyone else has said - a magnificent piece of work! -
StuG III Aufs. G (EARLY) Dragon 1/35
Camo Viking replied to Patrykd's topic in Ready for Inspection - Armour
The weathering is subtle and not "over the top" like you sometimes see. Excellent work! -
What a ripper! Certainly a lot more interesting than the red Ducatis that you see everywhere!
-
"Average modeler"??? Nope, you are most certainly not that!! Hot damn, that looks the business.
-
Lovely work - simple and understated markings. Well done!
-
Absolutely stunning....

Ducati Panigale 1199 "Senna".
Camo Viking replied to Stef N.'s topic in Ready For Inspection - Vehicles
Damn, that looks good. Very well done, sir! (Anyway, what's wrong with a Dunkelgelb Ducati??? 😜🙃🙂) -
Very, very, very nice! Double-plus-good-thumbs-up from me!
