Nigel Heath Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Was it that pesky Tank Builder Gordon from Peterhead? No it was another pesky tank builder by the name of Robin Sim. He deservedly won by a very comfortable margin, here is his excellent model: Would you believe he cast and coloured all those cobble stones individually out of resin? Gordon told me he has lost his modelling mojo recently - a sad state of affairs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marags Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 "Gordon told me he has lost his modelling mojo recently - a sad state of affairs." How does that work. I'll have to look at Hannants web site for "MOJO" as I've never had any!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoftScience Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I saved some of these pictures on my HD. This is one of the nicest dioramas I've seen in a long time. Great use of color, and nicely balanced! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Heath Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 If you mean the Japanese option for the Flying Banana then yes it is. The schemes on the fuel tanker and pump were my own invention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Was great to see this in the "flesh" at SMW last weekend, pity they wouldn't turn the lights off in the hall to allow us to see it illuminated I forgot the Sunday BM meetup completely! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot I didnt know but I should have remembered there was one last year too maybe I will remember next year Nigel, I think I mentioned it 'in person' but as a reminder, all your displayed models were 'something else' Brilliant all of them b 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
