I went to a new model show over in Bushey, near Watford. A very good standard of models and Hannants, London had a good stall with a few others. Didn't get any photos but I will get some at Letchworth next week.
Picked up a bargain set of books, a fiver each. 👍👍

Yeeaaahhhh...I may have pushed over the top while attempting to attach it. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Many swearings later, it's up and kinda straightish. Got a wing strut on too...(🤔 I know...)😅👍👍🍻 #italiagb #histscalemodels
🐌🪖After the Churchill is finished and before the Comet, thinking of a post WW2 farm Universal Carrier.
(Left-hand rive might be a challenge!

British Churchill Mk.VII tank commander,
TAMIYA 1/48 scale.
Painting is almost done.
イギリス軍 チャーチル Mk.VII戦車 戦車長、
タミヤ 1/48スケール。
おおむね塗り上がりました。
もう少し攻めたい気持ちもありますが、
どうも根気が続きません。

The 1/48 Portuguese SAR Merlin is ✨finally ✨ starting to come together and actually look the part. Outside of the folded chairs, the cabin bits were all 3d printed. I'm still sorting out the rescue basket.

The turret/gun house of the Meng AUF1 is looking quite colourful. Most of the detail will be visible through the side doors and the rear loading doors will be open. It's a big old lump already. #histscalemodels
Continuing #ItaliaGB with a modified Semovente. This will be much faster than the Alcione.

The Bugatti progresses. Dashboard now fixed ( incl. glass in the instruments!) still weeks to go on this looking at the instructions but I’m not rushing this one, particularly on the weathering. I really want it to look like the ‘28 Targa Florio car

Finally managed to get the wheels on the Leningrad Tiger. I’ve test fitted the tracks and decided I need to introduce a few darker tones. Next is some wet effects, then a small base. Fingers crossed it’s ready for Scale Model World in a few weeks.
A friend of mine makes amazing miniatures for Dolls Houses so I persuaded her to make me some 1:35 WW2 French wine bottles…she even painted and applied historic wine labels…stunning #histscalemodels
Circling back to a method I tried out a number of years ago to make the F-4 upper curtain ejection handles from twisted black & yellow threads. I will do up a nail jig to form up the circles after the thread glue dries. Seatbelts still need paint work as well🤞🏻 #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels
After a break, I pushed on with the Takom M51 Sherman, finally finishing the tracks. I reckon 800+ parts in them alone.
And today, priming and painting done. A bit of a breeze & some sun helped.
Now it’s a case of suspension on, wheels on, decals & weathering. #histscalemodels #scalemodels
That time of the year is here again where I get my Stash together in one room. Have decided to only keep 100 Kits as that should workout Five a year for Twenty years.
Video to show how much hoarding I have done.
40 pieces and the breech is built, primed and test fitted, a lot of work for something that will be barely visible. Now to research what colours it should all be and get painting #HistScaleModels
