  1. Thanks 😁 will have a look
  2. That's a good shout about the Aerononus F/A-18 ones πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ˜ Thanks
  3. Thanks I'll have a look at those options. 😁
  4. I'm about to start my AMK 1/48 scale F14D....decided to do some jiggery-pokery and display in flight mode....however, the AMK doesn't come with pilots. After (not very long) searching online I've come up trumps with pilots that fit this kit, however there are a few that could fit the bill; US Navy pilots (Zoukie Mura Phantom) sitting/no seats, or Aerobonus F14a/b variants with seats. My question is; has anyone else used pilots with this kit? And what did you do? I'm not too bothered about precise level detail as once painted and in the cockpit the untrained eye won't be able to tell if there's a pocket missing here or an extra helmet screw there....just interested how you went about it. And I don't have a 3D printer so that's not an option. Cheers all 😁
  5. Fabulous work, and well documented. I can't wait to start on mine, had it for a while now but not started it yet.
  6. Hi fellow modelers.... I am returning to the hobby after a short hiatus due to moving house (plus a multitude of other 'getting-in-the-way' factors) but I am now starting to get my set-up sorted. I now have a study/office that I am earmarking for my model building antics and since moving in to the new home I'm considering an airbrush Spray Booth, a cheapy one, nothing too fancy but one I can pack away after using. For reference, I think I'm going to get a Bartsharp one with the extractor hose and letter box shaped connection that slots in to an open window. My query is; during the colder months I'm not doing to want to sit there with the window open to have the extractor hose end pointed to the outside.....is it possible to configure the extract through the plasterboard wall? Or does it need to extract all the way to outside? I tend to use acrylics 95% of the time. I'm not an expert in buildings but maybe someone else has done something similar?? It's a new house so has plaster board walls with breeze blocks behind. I was thinking of making a letter box shaped hole to fit the extractor end connection, or circular shaped and just using the extract hose.....what could I use to 'bung' it afterwards? Or is there a wall connection I could use? Thanks for any advice Fletch 😁
  7. I hope they're not just showing the best bits in the trailer.....but agree I think he's going to be great in it.
  8. Yes I did see Bandai were rereleasing the Tumbler, should be a decent build if from Bandai. Fingers crossed for the new one as well. Thanks
  9. Evening All πŸ‘‹ Has anybody heard anything about a kit of the new batmobile from the forthcoming The Batman movie? With a few months left to go until the film is released there seems to be toys being announced (lego 'new' batmobile, for instance) but nothing yet that I can see on model kits. It seems to be being dubbed Batmobile Muscle Car. Of recent times Moebius has had the rights for these but there's no news on their site so far. I'm crossing my fingers for Round2/AMT to release one.
  10. I agree, it is a hefty price but I'd be willing to pay it if the book offered step by step techniques on how to arrive at an end result, which from what you all say is that it doesn't quite do that. Maybe a used one will pop up on ebay at some point, fingers 🀞🏼 Thanks everyone 😁
  11. Thanks Jack I've been a modeller for most of my life (on and off) and I'm 'okay' with figure modelling....I want to learn more about lots of aspects to make my models pop. Shading and forced lighting effects in particular is something I definitely want to improve. I'll check the video out - thanks for sharing it. πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸΌ
  12. Has anyone got or used the figure painting techniques by AK in their F.A.Q book range? If so, is it any good and would you recommend it? I looks like quite a hefty tome with lots of advice but I'm 50/50 on whether to get it. Thanks πŸ‘πŸΌ
  13. No worries, always nice to share tips etc. I have the Bandai snowspeeder too but it's in the stash, the Revell one is smaller and quite cheap (Β£6) and an easier build overall bit lacks detail. The Bandai one has positionable flaps and better cockpit details.....can't wait to make it!
