Good stuff.
I like it Kev. Slippery slope indeed. Today I have been mostly 'plumbing' a 1/35 Tamiya Jeep engine.

Lovely lilttle kit. Revel 1/76th M5. £3.99 from my local (say local 20 miles away) shop. Dead cute.

Went together lovely and was a joy to make, Great value, vinyl tracks are very fine, transfer where nice, simple and straightforward. I might buy another.


err tamiya Acrylics, brushed, some revel oils, pastels, pencil.

Not quite as good as some of you expert model makers, but here's my attempt.

I spread out a pouch of Golden Virginia to make it look like muddy earth,










Would've been better if I'd painted the blokes but never mind.
Anyway, I've finally got my kits out.

That's the best choice of scenic material I've ever seen mate.
Nice one.

Haha, yeah I loved making it mate. It's from an airfix box I got for xmas of our lass. It's 1:72 scale.

I've also done a Messerschmitt Bf109, a Us jeep, a Landing craft and a coastal defence fort (which still needs painting). Got a few others to build then I'll post more pics.

Welcome to the club , Marcus.
I do like the material used for mud.
Did it go up in smoke soon after?

Did you use a Ronson to light it?
