SimonL Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Somewhat reduced output this year, with a few significant work trips and then an unexpected health issue right at the end of the year (who knew reaching 50 would have that much effect on my blood pressure ). As per usual models generally brush painted with Tamiya and/or Italeri acrylics. Not so usual, I got on to a real roll with 1:48 scale military vehicles, which is a bit of a change for me. I have a few aircraft close to being finished, but not confident I will manage them before 31 Dec. Thanks for looking. Merry Christmas and happy, safe and prosperous 2018 to all.

Stew Dapple Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Yes the desert camo schemes are particularly attractive, I like the bases you made for the vehicles too Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours too Cheers, Stew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 (edited) Brilliant those Simon. 1/48 seems to work so well for those armour subjects. Steve Edited December 24, 2017 by stevehnz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing what you can do with cheap photo frames :-) On 24/12/2017 at 3:05 PM, stevehnz said: Brilliant those Simon. 1/48 seems to work so well for those armour subjects. Steve Thanks Steve. It really does, doesn’t it? Pity they are not as common as 1:35 scale though.

Kind regards, Stix Thanks Stix. Hopefully on the mend now (if the medications do their job). All the best for 2018! On 25/12/2017 at 2:58 PM, corsaircorp said: Hello Simon !

Sincerely Thanks! The Beaufort was a challenge - and i suspect it is one of the factors that lead me to try something else this year, but I am rather proud of how it came out. And yes, the armour was fun. All the best to you as well for 2018. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
