3D prints are the wave of the future. Looks very good.👍

A few drops of India ink in iso alcohol makes a good wash for dirting up your models. It will collect in any panel lines. It's not as concentrated as the Tamiya washes.

Well done. Very nice build.

Nicely done, Alan. I've never attempted figures like these, out side of a few HO (1:87) scale figures in a passenger car.

very nice recovery on the wingtips. Well done.

Excellent writeup on building/growing your layout. 👍

Dead rail is the thing for the garden railway crowd. Our club garden setup is mostly that nowadays, with a few live steamers in the mix, too. Batteries need to shrink a lot for HO, but I can see the O scale guys doing it. Not sure about the tin-plate folks. I need to talk to my American Flyer guy.

Fasttracks owns Mt Albert. Great products.

Really like this scene. And your shelf on the fascia. Very important for operations. Having to put car cards on the tracks while switching is very distracting. Looks very good.

Superb job, Chris.👍

I don't think any of the early ASW aircraft were particularly "alluring".  AD-5W and S-2F anyone? 

Well done. mate.👍

Nicely done. Excellent presentation of an uncommon model. 👍

Intimidating warrior, Alan. Very nice work. I look forward to your next figure.

I'm with Richard's vote. The tape is quicker to lay out, but it will dry out and curl (been there). Your module looks great.

That rates a double thumbs up from this old aviator. 👍👍

As a former Tiger squadron member, I think your tiger skin turned out well. Looks good to me. 👍

Nicely done. 

Hope you've got a good sea anchor. Some rabbit holes will get you turned about and lost for days. Better have some bread crumbs, Hansel! 😁

Mike, how old is the kit? Age and thinness of the plastic could make for sporting builds, as does the lack of internal pins to square up parts in many limited run kits.You're doing commendable work here.👍

I like the #2 base, with a bit of green under the bonsai base. Gives an impression of the tree growing out of the base. My 2 cents. 😄

As a once Jersey man, I can appreciate that.😉

May have to pull some all-nighters. 😁

Lots of details in this kit. A new manufacturer or a subset of an older company looking to enter the armor market.

Excellent work. The family should be proud.

She's definitely a soft coal burner, with that plume. Hard coal -anthracite- was a major mining industry on the east branch of the Susquehanna and was a major home heating fuel back then. When the US Navy was building dreadnoughts, they began buying hard coal to remove the giveaway smoke plumes, since there was a lot of it available.
