1/35 Challenger 2 TES Rye Field Model RM5039
Edwardkenway replied to Old Collingwood's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
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. -

Try a crocodile clamp taped to a dowel, keeps your fingers out the way🙂 -
Close your eyes and pick😉 surprise us! If you're feeling adventurous, dig to the back of your stash.

I'll have a look Jack, I do have a 12yr single Tallisker malt that I've not got round to opening yet OC I've used a lazy Susan turntable thingy with a homemade sprue cradle when I primer sprayed models years ago. -

Setting up the snack bar now, I'm in! I think Baring has already sent his requisition chit for this😁 -
welcome to MSW

Nice, I like the colour scheme, l didn't notice the missing decal either, looks good 🙂
-
Head gardener as well as master mason😉 Superb landscaping and the veg plot is great.

Looking ready for the fight OC, make sure they've got their full 60 rounds quota! you know what they're like, sell anything for a drink 😉

I've started fairing the inside of mine, using a cordless with a 25mm diameter sanding drum to take off the meat and finishing with some flexible sanding sticks. It's taking a long time as having to do it outside I've got to wait for dry days. I think if you have a Dremel or similar with the flexible attachment it would work better than just the drill. Hope you find a suitable method. Your Winnie looks very nice so far!
-
Nicely done Jack, the yellow looks great😁
-
Thankyou Ron, reading through what you have done so far I'm sure you'll do fine with planking Winnie.
-
Thankyou Tom, I have been using a travel iron and Chuck's edge bending method. Slow is standard for me and planking, so I have a couple of othe builds on the go, to have the odd break from it now and again.

Well since I've been back at the bench I've been dividing my time between this, Winnie and my non ship models. Mainly been painting the deck fittings and making ladder mk3, this is because I saw Chuck's ladders for Winchelsea and thought they looked better than my chunky creations, so a leaner version is being made. Thanks for all your comments, likes and looking your head round the door😉 Cheers Ps photos when I get something to show😏

It's been awhile since I've done much to Winnie, what with Christmas and stuff but I am getting back on with her, and have started the internal fairing, which as most of you know is very awkward, dusty and tedious. Also having to wait for dry weather as it's being done outside. Hopefully I'll be back on the lower hull planking by February. There's no photos as I don't think pictures of clouds of sanding dust need preserving. Til next time, Cheers

I completely agree with all the advice and comments above, with the additional fact, it's your project and if it looks good to you, it probably will look good to us, as with everything we are our own worst critics! I for one can't wait for you to get started 😁
-
You snuck this one through Jack 😉 Looks real good on there with the half track
-
Even with the flash the water looks super, as you say, the details will finish it off. Very nice work, I think you've cracked it EG😉
-
Yes I would have thought it should be ok with two coats over that primer.
-
I'm not sure how you'd do that as I always used based figures, for movement in the wargames, but I guess placing them in the wet filler would work so long as you worked out the positions beforehand
-
You may have purchase an artillery piece or a cart in 28mm? scale to do the ruts. Just for wheel width to be right. Good excuse to get cannon though 😄
-
Just a suggestion Jack, when I used to do yellow on my grey plastic miniatures I primed them first with an off white/cream, made for a better cover without brightening the yellow too much. As I say just a thought.
