Ok, so the other day I reflected that to try and improve my productivity, I would try and do at least 15 minutes of modelling a day. Given that promise, and that I really need to start using this blog more regularly, here is a quick update. Before I get started, however, here is a... Continue Reading →
I have not been completely idol recently, I promise. I have been moving along slowly with a few projects. First up is the Bavarian Jager bust from H&V Miniatures. I am now in the final stages of this piece. It is intricate details that need working on, such as buttons and piping. This part helps... Continue Reading →
This is the Tamiya 1/48 BA-64B Soviet armoured car. I started this as a quick weekend project a couple of months ago. However, as usual, I did not build it quickly; I never do! I have not done anything to the kit as the intention is that this will act as a paint mule so... Continue Reading →
On Sunday, I attended the North Brisbane Model Show and PX 2019. This was my second show here in Australia, and as with QMHE, I was impressed with the quality of models on display. IPMS Queensland runs the show. The ‘PX’ part of the show is a swap and sell, and I believe this is... Continue Reading →
Well, 2013 was a complete washout where modelling was concerned. I did not finish anything. However, new year, new job, and a new start. I intend to try to do a minimum of 20 minutes modelling a day. Hopefully, this will build up and I may actually finish something. To start with I need to... Continue Reading →
Here are some final picture of the Renault UE tractor unit before I begin painting it. The only detailing done to the kit was the use of Mr Surfacer 500 to the dome hatches to add some texture to them. This is a great kit that just literally clicks together. I'll take some better pictures... Continue Reading →
Here is some more work on the Renault UE. This is the tracked trailer. I am always amazed at the ease with which Tamiya kits go together. In places this trailer has just clipped together. None of the challenges you face with some other manufacturers kits. There is about 2 hours work in putting this... Continue Reading →
After the fun of Euro Militaire at the weekend, here is a new project on workbench. It is Tamiya's 1/35 Renault UE tractor. The kit was released a few years ago and is an excellent little kit. I have reached this stage in just a couple of hours of relaxed modelling and there was not... Continue Reading →
While clearing out my new modelling desk I came across this old project. It is Tamiya's 'new' Panzer II. I bought it when it came out and started it straight away. However, it has languished in the pile for a few years now. I must get it finished. Comments welcomed.
After a few weeks off modelling I was back at it yesterday, well only an hours or so but it needed to be done. Started constructing the suspension for this one. The detail is great. It shows what Tamiya are capable of. There is quite a lot involved int he construction of this despite the... Continue Reading →
