Get yer kits out.

JB kits are good, I love the Vickers Light...

 

Better cut those wheels off the sprue and give them a good sanding along the perimeter, or you won't be able to get rid of that moulding ridge

Stick them on a toothpick for painting.

 

Owen,

Looking good.

Tom

 

Looks quite decent, O.

 

Nice one Owen. Looks good mate.

 

Inspiring, O., inspiring

 

Owen,

I think that now the kits are finished your son will allow them on his railway

Tom

 

The 1 tonne is finished.
Very light weathering .

Owen excellent
good show

 

That's indecent of you, O! You really are making my fingers itch Here's a very partial view of my current stash

 

So cute. Have got 3-4 6mm ambulances/medical vehicles to paint up.

 

Are you expecting that many casualties when playing with yourself?

 

Not sure if it fits with the 'kits' aspect, but I recently found my old ships in a box in the loft...







Rooting through the attic I found a tiny plastic Russki as painted by me, aged about 10, this amazing survival from the 'banger incidents' of the late 80's combined with a year of getting back into kits after about 20 years brings me to the request;

I know i'm not the only one on here who has shamefacedly scraped away at little plastic things from time to time so whether it's recent or from a dim and distant past, good, bad or indifferent, any chance of a shufti?
Get your kits out? :

Cheers,
Adam.

 

Are those 1:1200 waterline ships? Once a friend asked me to repaint part of his 1:1200 collection, so I dumped them overnight in paint stripper. Next day while cleaning them I had that sinking feeling: the hulls were white metal but the turrets, cranes, masts, etc were PLASTIC! These were all melted down beyond any redemption!!!

Took me weeks to rebuild those from scratch!
