As for kippers, definitely ask for smoked ones. Much tastier. 

 

Am I the only under-occupied mind wondering what the large grey WIP lurking at the back of your workbench is ?

Wouldn't get too hung up on the idea of "concern" mate. Were just missing someone too...😉

Not even going to ask about MMM !

My guess is its a very large submarine of some type ? Most likely German and WW2 ? 

 

Yup! It's the Bronco 1/35 Type XXIII U-boat kit. Just picked it up recently and trying to decide if I want to start it next.

If you do a WIP could you tag me, Im a fan of Submarines and one in this scale would be impressive to watch.

I don't know please do tell 🤔

Lee does appear to be strangely taken by the concept of fairies....

 

They never used to be all about wings, wands and dust mate, just in case, you were thinking of a career change....

 

Suddenly an image of Lee sporting a tu-tu, wings and a wand springs to mind.....

For the love of God you can't unsee this stuff!!!!!!!!

Work continues

 

 

No S-mine launcher on Ursula so this had to be filled                                                                                                                             Cupola had two issues, not enough texture and was missing the gap between the cupola and the turret roof

                                                                                                                                                                                                                   The gap was done by putting a bevel on the edge of the cupola, texture was humbrol filler, some cleanup still to be done

The mantlet on Ursula has the monocular gunsight but the binocular brow so the binocular holes had to be filled                            Then the new sight drilled........... note how i didn't just drill a hole but tried to keep the two steps of the machined hole as it was in

and cleaned up                                                                                                                                                                                         in the real mantlet

Decided i wasn't happy with the soldering on the mud flaps so stripped them and re-did them                                                          And two of the hinges for the cutouts on the main mud flaps...yes they work

Nutter!

 

Think I possibly peaked to soon with the accolades...

 

However, I'll let you run away with this one and burn out and once I have you where i want you....

I thought I'd spent a bit over the last 24hrs, but £500!!!

Great choices though, think you might be onto a hiding to nowhere with the pzr III stuff fella!:wicked:

Go on where have you splashed the cash home or abroad? 

Spent a bit in the bovington black Friday sale yesterday and put an order in with Mig Jimenez this morning. 

Bought a great looking book, in English,  Italienfeldzug. German tanks and vehicles 43-45. Half the price it is from via Amazon btw even coming from Spain.

Should have a couple of Stugs coming too, couldn't decide between Takom and DW...:whistle:
