  1. I found this not sure if it will help? http://www.peachmountain.com/5star/Tanks_Patton_Tanks_M29_Tank.aspx OC.
  2. Just dug the instruction manual out the box............😲 its like a library in a manual - but very well laid out and written, looks like my sub builds with it should work starting with the bottom tub. OC.
  3. Blimey mate, busy busy - your going to need a bigger build area. OC.
  4. Think I can start this regardless of the rain - I could build the sub-assemblies like the bottom tub with all its bits and pieces, the top hull and turret, I will then be able to support them from underneath to prime/paint them, then attach them when thoroughly dry. OC.
  5. Another interesting build my friend, I have Two experiences of the type as the Beetle - a friend used to have a modified "Boy Racer" type, and earlier than that a schoolboy friends farther used to own a stock one with no mods, very quirky cars. OC.
  6. Tell me about it, I should have invested in some of that there waterproof paint😀 but the lamp is perfic, so I guess I could do some more figures - can't have enough figures. OC.
  7. Nothing wrong with that Lou - like it. OC.
  8. Need to wait till it stops raining outside so I can prime/paint the spues - then I can start building, so tempted to have a go at modeling the interior but "Boy" is it complex - OC. Pic off the net.
  9. Look what arrived today - the lamp looks like just what I need, the other one was just too small and not enough light, this one also plugs into the mains - the other one was a rechargable with very liitle run time. OC.
  10. Mine was fun and games with Black and White developing in our homes bathroom - fun and games. OC.
  11. Evening all, thought I would take some pics of the lads in the storage box - keeping safe till they are called up. OC.
  12. Was thinking of doing somthing similar to a Lotus Esprit S3 Turbo as Model Art do a few differnt colours just not the Red colour like so nearly owned years ago, my idea was to get on and mask and respray it - then I changed my mind due ot using rattle cans. OC.
  13. I see Lou - Ken. perhaps its a name that been mixed up over time due to some of the nose art on some like Ghost Rider - generating the name amongst aircraft nuts, still a gorgeoes plane though. OC.
  14. Very very nice mate - your workmanship has shown of some real graceful lines, another superb exhibit for your case. OC.
  15. I dont really know much about resins and this will sound neive but could the resin coats have not been applied in thinner coats with a wide brush but far more of them over the top of the previous ones after thorough hardening between layers - would that not work? OC.
  16. Think its the nick name Ken - https://militarymachine.com/ac-130u-spooky-ii/ OC.
  17. Ita amazing to think of small cara as being family suitable for long trips - my grandad used to own a 1931 Austin Seven and used to cram Four of them and cases and the dog and cat and go 150miles to the seaside for a holiday in it one of these - Not my pic. OC.
