trickyrich Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 your best bet is just to go to Scalemates and type in the model you have them look up all the goodies that go with it!! I live on that site, plus I help use it to manage the staff and all the AM stuff I seem to buy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG X Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 ...it's a bit quiet in the GB today I notice... ...maybe everyone is busy building / maybe the Tottenham fans are in mourning / maybe the Liverpool fans are nursing hang overs / maybe most people know it's 'work' tomorrow / maybe your cooking a cracking Sunday lunch... I've seem to have spent all day chopping up 'tiny bits' and spraying gallons of primer. So where is everyone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have been to a show hopefully you didn't spend to much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very sensible too, but don't worry; I gave myself a stiff talking to when I got home. There were several dealers doing the new Hobby Boss King Tigers at 1/3 or more off RRP. I didn't succumb though which is unlike me. Those Tamiya tracks really are having an effect Andy Edited June 2, 2019 by Foxbat 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I didn't pick this up at the show, but it did satisfy a sudden bout of nostalgia as I remember having one as a kid. Mine, like most of the ones on eBay had a commander who'd lost is head so it was good to get a complete one. Cheap as chips too, maybe collectors haven't started on this section of the market yet? Anyway, I have a King Tiger, one of Matchbox's finest to complete the collection Andy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hit panic two weeks ago when part of my right hand disappeared (again). It started to reappear then I had a head full of cotton wool for four days. Back at the bench tomorrow though and feeling confident it'll work out. To everybody else struggling I hope one of the worst-performing GB entrants on BM can act as an incentive. To those doing well I congratulate and envy you. I've not been able to comment much but there is some great work going on here. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment it's inoperable so it comes and goes. If they try as it is it's as likely to cut off all feeling as fix the issue. I declined that gamble. Physio have given me an exercise set to do which may fix it without an operation at all. I decided that was the better option. Progress will be forthcoming later today.

Bonhoff Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Something of a record for me - GB entry done and dusted in less than a week. Good luck to those burning the midnight oil to get theirs over the line. KR's IanJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Looks like I'll be doing my usual for a GB ..... calling in VAR to verify that I actually made it into the gallery before the deadline! Here's a list of things I HAVE to do to finish my Tiger: 1. Paint. weather and fix: two tow cables track-changing cable. Axe. Radio antenna tube. Jack handle. Construct, paint, weather and fix: Driver's hatch. Radio operator/MG gunner's hatch. Loader's hatch. Four air tubes for Pfieffer air filter system. Two sets of smoke grenade launchers. Try to save turret decals which have been covered with paint, OR apply new markings using spares and not worrying about historical accuracy. And, IF I have enough time: use the hairspray technique to apply a final coat of whitewash to the Tiger, rub it back and apply final washes and matt varnish. GULP! I best get cracking then!

Badder Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 2 minutes ago, BIG X said: You crack on lad - I'll make you a cup of tea... Hi Steve, Thanks, That'll be my 2nd cup of tea this year! A record. I usually have just the one to see what all the fuss is about and try to figure out why some people drink 12 or more a day. With regards to using the hairspray technique to apply a final whitewash, I would normally allow myself a 3 or 4 days to get that applied, rubbed back and weathered so I might take photos prior to that and have them 'in the bank' for the gallery, should I not complete the final whitewash before the deadline. Apologies to you and everyone else for my not having time to comment on your fantastic (completed) builds, but I will obviously do so once I have some spare time!

Ozzy Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I have remembered how to generate a poll, it will be open once the gallery is closed with the poll open for a further 7 days. Good luck. From me and @PlaStix we would like to say a big thank you for all those who have taken part. It been a very well supported STGB, with a fantastic selection of builds in the gallery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Wow! I can't believe we’re into the last few hours of this GB!! Where has the time gone?! Sorry I've not been around the past few days - Mrs PlaStix and I have been away for a few days. Good luck to anyone trying to get finished before the deadline!
