From the master armourer, high praise indeed 😁 thankyou Patrick -
Rained off again today, so airbrush started up and repainted camo on the hull, it got a bit green on the gun mount, but I can live with that I ended up mixing my own brown as fleabay has non in stock from any vendor and I refuse to pay £5+ at Amazon for a pot of paint I could get for just over £2 when the paint has dried it's on with the last bits and tracks. For the thumbs up and comments I thank you all😁👍 Cheers

Thank you Patrick, I do have a question, would it be acceptable to have the 251 towing a 7.5 cm anti tank gun? If not what vehicle should I get? Thanks in advance 🤗
-
It's never too late Eamonn, just fashionably late and there's still a long way to go 😁 thanks for popping by. BTW how is Ballahoo getting along in you marvellous new shipyard? 😄

I've been adding the small parts to the body and turret, but took no photos 🙄, while waiting for the glue to dry, I kind of started the half track I bought at the same time. When I get round to that model properly I will start a log🙂 Thanks for your likes and comments, there will be more. Cheers😁👍 P.S just a couple of teasers of the half track, floor is only dry fitted.

Quite an eerie scene you've created, it looks marvellous 🙂

Life has a habit of making well laid plans useless, knowing I would be getting some bonus time in my 'play room' because of the weather, I had made a mental list of jobs to do on the Cutter, but it seemed the Admiral had other ideas for my enforced downtime 🤔😠😤. So very little to show except the skylight now has its glazing. Thanks to everyone for your comments, I appreciate the feedback. Also for the likes and taking the time to look in. 😉 Hopefully more to show next time. Cheers

And some nice crisp roast potatoes, perhaps a green salad, and a few beers😁

Basted in honey and mustard? Mmm

You have done a sterling job on her!

You could be in for a long wait😔 Ken's right it does look a great piece of kit.... the lamp and the tank! -
Your Triton looks just amazing Jorge, my buen trabajo!!
-
I used a fret/jeweller's saw as it is only 1/16. It only took about 15 minutes, and I only made one mistake 😉

Looking nice Eric, your foray into making mouldings is the pull of the dark side😄 As Tim has said a double plank model is a bit more forgiving . Keep up the good work.

Impressive looking model, Phil, it's come a long way from the cardboard you started with, great work!
-
Even nattier with the chrome details Craig, great job!
-
Hmm I never thought of that! Doh!!
-
Thanks Eric, it helped immensely with plank butt placement😉 Thank you Henrik 🙂
-
Neat idea Patrick, is that just basic ready mix Polyfilla? Great work on the scratch elements 😁
-
I reckon Lou has got it, although I would use an awl or pin so there wouldn't be any chance of slicing to deep.

Thank you Derek, if you have seen the laser cut ladders Chuck has done for Winchelsea and also Chris Wattons pear ladders, they totally made me want to try and recreate a slimmer one. The filing of the stringers tested me though, too deep and they just fold up when fitting the treads🤨😬
-
So, spent a few hours this week wrestling with the leaner ladder, after three failed versions finally made one of sufficient quality to use. Instead of two pieces of 1mm wood glued together the stringers are 1 piece. I think it is more to scale than my other ladder. the photos above show the difference, granted it's not a lot, but I am happier with the slimmer version, also it's wider. As can be seen deck fittings are in the process of being painted, and the glazing in the skylight windows is done, just waiting for the glue to dry (photo next time. I'm waiting on an order from CMB of brass rod and wire, then I will be doing more to the top rail. Thanks for looking in and hitting the button. Cheers 😉

It's turned out to be a natty little motor car Craig, the gloss finish looks fabulous and the white wall tyres make a great contrast.

It's not the obscene priced bottle Jack 🤪 but the one for about £35 I would be loathe to open one costing over £400😬 And to correct myself, it's 10yr not 12, I've had it for over 2 years though, does that count?😁 I got it from the distillery on Skye when I had a holiday there.
